I've had a little voice inside of my head that's been nagging at me to start a blog to help me keep track of all things fitness. Since February of this year, I've lost 10 pounds! :) To be honest, the last time I was losing weight successfully was back in 2010, when I was fresh out of high school and kept myself busy with running and other various physical activities. I've never stopped caring about my appearance, but in the last four years, I've become sluggish and lazy. I've stopped caring about keeping my body and habits healthy. Instead, I've made up 'excuses' to avoid exercising completely and choosing the fast and unhealthy meals rather than nutritional ones. But what is that really accomplishing for myself?
I awoke one morning and had a realization, an epiphany if you will, that I'm not going to be young forever. Time does not wait for anyone and one day, I'll be older. I'll potentially have children of my own or even grandchildren. I want to be healthy. I want to live to be over 100. I don't think anyone would be more upset than myself if I died over something preventable. Not only that, but I want to actually feel comfortable in my own skin. I've never felt sexy in a bikini. I don't wear tight shirts in public because I hate the way the fabric clings to my stomach, like it's exposing every fat roll I have. I'm sick of it and I'm putting my foot down.
Enough is enough.
My goal is to be healthy and fit. I don't want the number on the scale to define me. I don't want to keep making excuses. I want to do this for me, for my health, for my future so that I can be proud of who I am and be around the people I love for as long as possible. That's my motivation to keep moving forward and not give up.
What's yours??
