I have always thought of Sarah as a role model, fashion icon, and am always amazed at way she never stops smiling. I would have never expected her to say the things that she did in this video. I won't give the entire video away in this post, but I'll probably quote a few things she said that really hit home with me. I think the reason it was so inspirational to me was because lately I have been feeling the exact way she was describing. She says it's "like a plateau; you aren't depressed but you aren't happy; you're just kind of there," and she describes it as, "the worst feeling ever." This is exactly how I have been the past two weeks or so. I am in a rut. I don't have motivation to work out anymore, I always break my healthy diet with sweets, and I have really been down about myself.
This video was exactly what I needed. After watching, I got up and decided to go on a little night stroll. In the video, she says something like, "the only one who can get you out of your rut is you." I knew I just needed to get up and out of the house because it was the only was I could stop this slump I'm in. I used my Lorna Jane app to track my time, speed, and calories and made the walk fun by putting on some country Pandora. Once I got home from the walk, the energy that I had made me remember why I loved being active and healthy so much. I get this natural energy that makes me feel happier and better about myself.
This post may seem lame to some, but if it helps anyone out there then it's worth it to me. If you have been sitting in bed, living an unhealthy or generally lazy lifestyle, do something to change it. It doesn't have to be drastic, but go for a walk. Instead of pancakes for breakfast, have some greek yogurt with granola. As a good friend of mine says, "Each good choice will make it easier for you to make another good one."
