Still going

Just look- it's out there. What am I talking about? MOTIVATION!!!!! Everyone gets comfortable and slacks off now and again but how do you get out of that mind frame and back to your top game. We know all the things we should be doing, just do it right? If it were just that simple. So many excuses are so easy to blame when all in all it comes down to one thing. You, You , you and only YOU! I was my own road block from success. Sometimes we just have that feeling of why don't I want this bad enough, why can't I stick to my plan, and the list of frustration could go on and on.
So I have my zone and I'm in it but then the fear of how long can I keep this up? Or when is my next crash day? STOP RIGHT THERE. Do those thoughts sound familar? I'm setting myself up for failure and so are you.
1. Negative thoughts aren't going to help-

You don't have time to fit in exercise because you are too busy feeding your mind excuses, just stop and do what you need to do. Smile and feel great. Plain and simple you don't have time for for negativity. It is your choice how you deal with things.

2. Take one day at a time- Make small goals so you can get into a routine whether you feel like doing it that day or not make it a routine.
3. Visualizing the wrong things-Instead picture yourself where you want to be and how you will feel because the fat sloppy feeling just ain't doing it.

So I have been working on this Paleo diet and I won't lie. It has been tough for me, but I'm still going and with each failure I get right back up. The more I stick with it, the more it pays off. Why am I doing this? Because I know it will get me the results I want.Right now I'm at 122 and strong. I have set a small goal of just 4 days stictly Paleo. I'm two days in and 2 days to go. At first I was just asking two weeks but that seemed to far out of reach. Instead I'm setting a small goal so I can get there and feed off of that accomplishment. Two steps forward and one back is still movement. To start with I took something that I enjoy and look forward to doing everyday and when and only when I completed the 4 days could I get that back. But after just two days I was wanted to break and give in. Mentally it is challenging and our mind is our worst enemy. I needed something more to get me to finish. So what got me motivated? Last night I was searching for something to help get me through the next two days because at any moment I felt I could just give in and say it isn't worth it. And I found this

Here’s an inspiring quote I love to read when I feel like throwing in the towel – believe it or not, it’s taken directly from the movie ROCKY BALBOA

“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!”

At the end of the day, you have to inspire and motivate yourself – And only you know how to do that. Hang in there, don’t give up – If you can persevere, you can get there.

Full Weekend

So it started friday night with an open house for a team member. Saturday, we had an amazing Yoga class. Thank you Tony and Dawn!!!! Biz op and training. Sunday morning 1/2 marathon. OUCH!!!!! I won't be moving at all tomorrow. Most people I believe train for them, well so far this year I have 4.8 miles recorded until today. Add another 13.7 (even a little extra)to that.These short legs weren't made for running. I'm so exhausted and I also want to eat everything in sight. Needless to say this weekend had a little cheat mixed in with it. Tonight it is to bed early and alots of water. I'm going to continue with Paleo diet this week and add my shakeology in with it. I miss it big time, boy do I feel a big difference while drinking it.

Day 5

Wow!! It has been so worth the effort and struggle. I was 124 this morning. With my waist 1.5 inches smaller. See I was a huge grain fan and this wasn't easy. My headaches are gone and my skin is clearer. I have read things like this before but now it is happening to me. I have stuck to my favorite P90X workouts. I will admit I had to cheat the last two days with a P90X protein bar which has so dairy in it among some sugar that I should have advoided, but it got me through the rough days. I'm feeling strong and my workout is in for the day, and I'm ready for a great Friday and an awesome weekend. Results are so motivating, sometimes you just have to put in the extra effort a little bit longer to get refocused and remotivated. You can do it. Tip stay off the scale if you need to. Have a wonderful weekend. Jill

Join us Friday for a 8am Yoga class at the Elementary school and hear about beachbody. Most important: ****Come meet two of the people who have changed my life forever******

Day 2
So I have surrounded my self with things that remind me of what my goals are and it is helping. I feel alot less bloated today. I don't feel as tired and heavy(dragged down). It isn't easy I will say that. I'm going through grain withdrawl. I have had headaches the last 2 days but it is going away. Yesterday was the worse.It probably doesn't help that I'm a little under the weather. Maxing myself to the limit and not getting enough sleep.Last night I was in bed by 10pm and that seem to help. Each day will get better and I fill work on improving all outlets of my life because fitness isn't just about exercise, it is the all around package.

my eating has been perfect today. I have been eating alot of fruit-trying to balance it out with my veggies.
