Self motivation

Hi!  It's me again.  I know I haven't blogged in a while but life got a hold of me and I was really busy.  I still managed to get my workouts in though.  I did not let my busy lifestyle get in the way of my workouts I FOUND the time and if it wasn't there, I MADE the time.  I told myself that I was in control of my health and I backed it up.


Many people have daily affirmations that they say.  Things like, "I will reach this goal."  "I will be happy."  And many many more.  However they are just words if you don't do what is needed to back up what you tell yourself.  Telling yourself that you will lose 3 pounds this week then eating fast food and not exercising everyday isn't going to do it.  At the end of the day, if you don't do what you need to then all you are is another day older.

People also set unrealistic goals.  This leads to failure and a lowering of their morale.  For instance, saying you are going to lose 15 pounds this week is a little unrealistic unless you are on the "Biggest Loser."  When you miss the goal you feel demotivated and many times want to give up.  Setting a goal such as, 3 pounds is much healthier and easier to achieve. 

At the end of the day, when you look in the mirror, you have to be accountable to you.
