Motivations to Diet and Exercise
I have been eating like a goat lately but sometimes it is still hard to avoid eating junk and having the will power to exercise. However, I found out some things that I do that easily motivates me. They may sound silly but they work like a charm for me. Maybe you can also try these and see what happens:
-
After taking a shower, look at your naked body in a full length mirror. You’ll see the mirror doesn’t lie, even the evil stepmother knows that.
-
Look at before and after pictures of people who has successfully became fit, preferably people you actually know. If they can do it, so can you!
-
Weigh yourself before eating so you avoid overeating or eating that leftover cake.
-
Take a full body picture of yourself. This is like the looking at the mirror thing but of course, don’t photoshop your body. LOL.
-
Browse at online shopping sites and look for clothes that you would like to wear once you lose those extra pounds.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for loving yourself and your body but let’s also be honest. and not use that as an excuse to not be healthy. I have no plans to be a skeleton but I just want to be fit again.
Ahem…
Yep, it’s the first for the year. I have been coughing incessantly. It all started with allergy attack so I guess spring is here. I don’t have the time right now to lay and rest though.
I just have so many things to do that were planned a long time ago before I got sick. Thank goodness we have a scheduled doctor’s appointment soon.
Tired Of Being Tired
Ever since our date, we both have been tired lately. We both know the reason behind this is lack of any form of physical activity or exercise. Much to my dismay, we have been gaining weight again too.
We do have grand plans of biking through the trails, jumping a hundred times with our jump ropes and doing hundreds of crunches. Summer is still far away in this side of the world, thank goodness! Joining the gym is out of the question right now because we are saving as much as we can for far MORE important things. I wish there’s a local gym that offer reward cards and then every point we earn can be used for groceries. Wouldn’t that be nice?
I do miss the enormous amount of energy that I used to have. Now a days, I’m always cooped up inside the house and glued to my laptop. Change is badly needed.
One After Another
Yesterday, I was able to finish a task that has been stressing me out. Today, I had my doctor’s appointment. I’m finally off of my medications! Woohoo! I’m so happy. That means life will be normal again for me. I can eat all the greens I want and hopefully stop losing hair. I am now more than eager to get a job. If I can find work-at-home customer service jobs online, that will be awesome. Everything is going into the right direction which makes me so happy.
I Lost Again
…weight that is. Actually, it is more like I maintained it after adding a few back a week ago. Yesterday, I was worried about the scale at my doctor’s office. You see, I get weighed every time I go there, just one of those routine vitals check. I was worried because I just ate a big meal with the Husband at our favorite Thai Restaurant. Thankfully, it was ok. I did not gained and I actually lost. If I just keep on limiting my carbs, I will be in thinsville healthyville in no time. I have this big appetite that is so hard to control. Finding natural appetite suppressants that work will make me a happy camper. I don’t have a sweet tooth which works well for me. The rice is still my biggest frienemy.
