Struggles through the Journey

A short update.... Lately its been a real struggle to stay motivated to workout and eat healthy.  It's so much easier to order out and just sit on the couch when I get home from my long workdays.  Times like this I have to remember WHY I'm doing this... What is it that I really want, what results do I want to see.

I'm starting to realize that I'm half-assing this a lot.  I was extremely gung-ho initially (the first few weeks) and then real life started creeping back.  And this is why its SO HARD for people to lose the weight and keep it off.  Its a life style change, not a temporary fix.  My challenge to myself will be to make a list of WHAT EXACTLY I want to accomplish.  What is it that I truly want?  To be skinny? TO be fit? To fit into those size 7 jeans again?



Once I can specifically identify what I want, I think it will be a WHOLE LOT easier to work towards these goals... because they are tangible now... written down for the world to see (well maybe not the world, but they are out there).

I might set a daily goal for myself as well.  Little things that are easy, but also progress... Maybe stuff like:

1. Run
2. 200 crunches/ ab exercises
3. Walk on lunch
4. Pack Lunch for work
5. Go on a night time walk
6. 30 pushups



etc, etc.. and mark them off as I go.  ANYWAYSSSS enough brainstorming here... Action plan for tonight is to come up with an action plan, and find my motivation to succeed.

Until next time,
