Sometimes, however it seems I lose focus that there is a part of me outside of who I am as an Emergency Management Coordinator for a county in Southwest Washington. I forget about how much I enjoy getting out into nature and the love I have in capturing what I see in pictures. I forget about the little joys of just chilling in my back yard with a glass of tea enjoying some sunshine. I forget about the struggles I seem to consistently fight in trying to lose and maintain a healthy weight that I so long to have.
And that today is my focus as I take a few moments to write this. This blog will take on that role for as I try to hold myself accountable in keeping with daily workouts, and eating a healthy portion controlled diet. I keep saying no more excuses, but I always seem to find just one more, and then get so upset with myself as I find others in my life having such success.
They fire me up, and I need to stay fired up. I did it once, why can't I again. I am ready to shed this old me once again. Perhaps putting it in writing for others to see will be the motivation and help I need to keep with it. So I ask you as friends and family, don't hesitate in sending a message asking me how I did today... If you do not see me post something for a couple days on my workouts or what I am eating, call me out on it!
I saw this quote from Jillian Michaels today...
"You Can look for external sources of motivation and that can catalyze a change, but it won't sustain one. It has to be from an internal desire."
I keep seeing feeling the catalyst, but I seem to fall short. I know I am ready... I just need to keep my eyes on the prize and have faith in myself.
I'm ready!! It's Never too Late! And once more... No More Excuses!! If You are like me....
