Think About It, Do It

SOOO it is time. Time to stop whining about not wanting to work out, time to feed my body what it needs to fuel itself instead of what sounds yummy, and time to shed those pounds. I am the queen of excuses. I will make up a reason to let myself eat a donut. I'll convince myself I need that cookie with my sandwich. It all just needs to stop. I am so sick of letting myself eat something bad and hating myself afterwards. I just want to be happy.

Earlier in the summer, I went through two months when I ate extremely healthy and exercised 4-7 times a week. I loved myself. I loved my body, I loved my energy, I was just genuinely a happy person. I don't really know what has gone wrong since then, but I have slipped into old habits. I am so afraid of gaining back all that weight that I worked so hard to get off.

Today I woke up with a new mindset. I told myself that tomorrow was the first day to a new week, a new beginning, and I needed to crack down and just DO the workouts. DO the healthy meals. Just DO it. Stop making excuses. I told myself that baby steps will make it easier to start up my healthy lifestyle again. So here is my goal: 5 full days of healthy eating and working out. Although I will be traveling two of those days, I am going to try to keep to my word and make it happen because I can't wait around any longer hoping my mind will change itself and stop wanting sweets and junk food.

This post was written in the hopes that I will keep my word to myself and do these next five days with everything I have. If I can do this, my steps back to a healthy lifestyle will only become smaller and smaller.

I am going to use the Tone It Up guidelines to help me decide what to eat and when and how to work out. I will be posting a full 5 day recap by next Saturday or Sunday. My alarm for my morning workout tomorrow is set! Wish me luck
