Since the Jamie Eason program is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo demanding I had to create a little motivation board so I can focus on what my results are if I commit to this program.

What do you look to for motivation?

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to loose weight. Everyone has their own motivation in losing weight, for Jill Scott it’s to dress like a porn star!

Back in the Game

Can I just say it is always great when you fall and you are able to pick yourself back up again. I have been reading through some of my favorite health blogs and it seems these past few months have been rough for ALL of us. But the true test of ones dedication to their healthy lifestyle is being able to pick themselves back up again.

Believe me it is rough. The past month has been a struggle, trying getting myself back in my old routine of daily exercise and consistent healthy eating habits. Around day two and three I would just give up and feel sorry for myself. Thankfully, this past week I have been able to pick myself back up again and get myself going. I tried to think about what helped me get back in the game and a few things came to mind.

See Below:

1.Reading health blogs: Reading other blogs helped me realte to other women.

2. Observing how my body feels: When I start feeling groggy and sleepy all the time I know it has to do with the quality of food that I am eating and me not going to the gym.

3. Clothes: When my pants start to feel a little tight that is usually when I pick myself up real quick.

4. Sadness: When I start to feel sad and almost depressed I know alot of it has to do with my Health. Being healthy for me is meditative, I feel a sense of balance.

These are just a few things, but I am sure there is more.

So those who are feeling down and out, find what works for you and make sure you write down and place it somewhere where you can see it everyday for constant motivation.

I woke up at 5am to go to the gym and it just didn’t happen I thought, Well I have Sat and Sun to go to the gym and that will make it 4x this week. But, once i woke up I was kinda disappointed in myself. I need to get my motivation back and my mind focused. Check out my feelings about it below.
