A little motivation

Sometimes when I don't feel like working out, or I think I just need a big ol juicy hamburger. I dig deeper. For some motivation. To remind myself why I am doing what I'm doing. I go look at my before and afters, or find a really cute outfit I want. That's the thing about motivation it can come out of anywhere :)

Don't talk about it, be about it.

Join my Team

Officially decided that I have something to offer, and I can help people.  So I have joined team beachbody as a coach.  I try most of their workouts at Amarillo Fit Club. I'll link my coach site at the bottom. I'd love to be your coach :)

I hated this before picture.  I sent it once to my friend and then deleted it because I couldn't even bare to think I looked like that.  She kept it and sent it back to me today.  It was her idea for me to share with y'all today that I am a coach now :) Thanks Erica!!!

Insanity Love you ...hate you

Oh Insanity a workout I love and hate all at the same time.  When I first started doing it I was overwhelmed. I did the fit test and thought 0.o how am I ever going to make it through a workout.  It sucked, It was just like it says insane. When I first started Insanity I did it for less than a week and gave up. It was hard and I was so sore even sitting down hurt. So giving up was easy. Bye Insanity, hello gym.  After a few months of going to the gym I decided to give it a second shot.  i thought I would do insanity when i woke up before work then keep my regular gym schedule.  I was wrong.  After doing insanity I went to the gym and my muscles were just to tired.  I couldn't even do half of my work out.  That just seemed counterproductive to me, and yet again I quit. A few months later I decide to try again...3rd times a charm? Hell yeah it is.  I start Insanity again, but this time even though I feel the burn I'm into it the whole time.  I don't feel like I am about to die either. woot woot!! I get through my first week and think wow! I can actually do this. Is it easy? hell no. I have gotten use to it though. I am proud to report that the sore stage went away pretty quickly this go around, and after the first week I was good to go. I'm not a beast or anything so Sunday's are my favorite because they are my day off :)  As I said before in one of my other posts I am not to the point where I want to post those pictures yet.  Though my friend Erica thinks I should, and is convinced I would win something. In my mind I have won alot already by sticking to something. I must admit I feel off the Insanity train during the holidays, but I am back on it. That is the thing, If you fall off just get back on.  No one can work out one day and lose 30 lbs.  So not working out one day isn't the worst thing you could do either.

Goals Goals Goals

I've always been the type of person that sets the bar high.  My mindset is basically set the bar high and go even higher. Well when I started this new venture I quickly realized that was just not the way to go about it.  So....I came up with a new plan.  I have an overall goal, which I don't focus on everyday. Every once in a while I take  a look back and think damn I have come pretty far :) I set more obtainable goals for myself though so I feel more accomplished.  i don't like to  toot my own horn, but every time i meet or exceed my own expectations and goals toot toot!! Last January my goal was to lose 40 lbs before my yearly vacation in June.  I lost 90. Nothing can explain the feeling I got when I was shopping for new vacation clothes. That amazing feeling every time I saw another one of my family members I hadn't seen in over a year, and they were shocked.  After that I set a new goal for myself for our Glow Run in August. It rocked btw but I think I'll save that story for another time. Then I set a goal for Halloween, and finally for my birthday in December. Basically, what I'm getting at is make your short term goals obtainable, but not easy.  Make yourself work. Then reward yourself.  My usual reward is shopping, which I have found myself doing alot especially since none of my old clothes fit anymore :) Bye

Do it for...

Until it clicked in my head that I was going to do this for ME it never worked. No diet, No plan, Nothing. I had to make up my mind that it was going to do this, and the only thing that could hold me back was me. Most of the time its YOU that talks yourself out of change. So don't do it. Talk yourself into changing. For you. For looking good naked, and feeling good. Anyway I don't have much to say today except that. Keep yourself in your mind Your #1. Bye
