Got Motivation!!

Just a few of my faves I have written down today and have got me thinking!


If you are tired of starting over, STOP GIVING UP!!

Discipline is Choosing between what you want NOW and what you want MORE!!

Wake up with determination and go to bed with Satisfaction!

Train insane or remain the same!

Its not who you are that holds you back, its who you think you're not.

Motivation is what gets you started and Habit is what keeps you going.


This kinda sums it up for me, these are my thoughts right now. This is what I am trying to focus on. I keep thinking you can do this, You got this!!

Am I hungry or comfortable?

So I work in a restaurant and at the end of the shift, everyone sits down and has some dinner together. After a long night on your feet running around, you are starving. So you sit down and eat, mexican food at 9 at night. You are starving and you need to finish your work, so you eat a little faster than normal. Than all the sudden you are stuffed and uncomfortable. You finish up at work and go home to bed. Yuck!! Now if you did this everyonce in awhile, no big deal. But to do this several times a week, not the best thing for your health. So I read an article the other day that said you should go to bed feeling a little hungry at night. I think I dont really like feeling hungry when I go to bed. But I realize how much I would rather feel, a little hungry than totally full, when I go to bed. You certainly wake up feeling better. So I packed a banana and a protein shake, while everyone enjoyed warm chips with salsa and yummy food, I ate my food. I survived and I felt good this morning. Its esy to cave in when facing our goals, but pushing through and staying focused is hard. But its so worth it!! Right?

Being the best you can be

Sometimes things dont go just the way we plan, life has lots of occasional roadblocks and stresses. Most days dont go anything like we plan. So my thoughts the last few days have been, am I doing the best I can, Am I being the best. Quite frankly I have not been. I dont know if its laziness, tiredness, busyness or what kind of ess. BUt I just havent to many excuses and not enough action. I am not just talking about fitness or dieting. I am talking about all aspects of my life, sometimes when I get overwhelmed, I avoid, instead of even attempting. I need to attempt, I need to try. Most of all I need to be the best  I can be and be happy with that:)

Craving Healthiness!

Its funny how you fall into a rut. You get out of your excercise routine, you dont have much energy, you enjoy treats and good foods a little more than you should. The scale goes up and the motivation goes down. Than you start to get on track, it feels amazing. Then you get busy it gets harder. But you crave it. Well I do thats the mood I am in. I want good healthy food and I want to be active. When I am busy and grabbing whatever to eat and rushing out the door, I hate it. When we find our motivation we have to grab a hold of it and embrace. Because its your reward for trying, for wanting to do better. Hope everyone can find their motivation and ways to reach their goals. We can do it, RIGHT!

Sleeping in

This morning I set my alarm for 535 and when it went off. I said to myself, "forget about it, not happening today" This is a hard one for me. I go a hundred miles an hour almost all the time. I try to workout 6 days a week and have a lot going on. For along time I did not realize the importance of rest and sleep. When I got sick last year and was on a zpak. I just kept going, the dr said I can give you whatever medicine, but if you are not going to rest, you are not fully going to get better. When I got injured the answer was rest, I dont really like this answer. But I have learned the truth to it. When you are trying to eat healthy, get your sleep girls. Cause when I dont sleep and I am exhausted. THe cravings are insane. I dont have the energy to make good choices. Sometimes if cravings are really bad, more than food, you need a nap. So today I will not beat myself up over not getting up for a workout, I will enjoy not yawning and feeling exhausted:) Have a great day!

I'm back

Oh my goodness, I headed out with my awesome running buddy for a six mile run. My Ipod was dead which is always a little discouraging. But I was so excited to run with Amy I didnt even care. I am not going to lie it was hard. I had not run more than 4 miles, since my foot injury had me off for about a month, a whole month:( My Ipod would have come in handy, so that I didnt hear my heavy breathing! It was great though, nothing like starting your day burning 600 calories, relieving stress, clearing your mind, feeling challenged and just having a good time with a friend. I am feeling good and ready to reach my goals and face my challenges:) Go out there and do it, cause you totally can.

Success feels good!

 I have lost a little over 8 pounds and it feels good. My clothes are fitting more comfortably and I just feel better!! Little choices make big difference. I get so set on going all out huge goals. But when I do the best I can and make good choices throughout the day, it helps so much. portion control is huge. Small treats are plenty and if I slip up just hope right back on!! I hope your goals are going good, quit being so hard on yourself and just focus on doing your best and improving:)
