I hope you all are having a great week! It's hump day people, you are half way there! Woot, woot! :) This post is about how if you put your mind to it you can accomplish your fitness goal, and almost anything for that matter. I live by the power of positive thinking! You have to channel those good vibes and that great energy into the world to get it back. You have to believe in yourself and know that you are capable of greatness.
I have shared with you all that I used to be on the heavier side when I was younger. I want to share with you a photo that I posted last Friday via instagram....
That is me when I was about 13-14 years old in the middle and that is me now on both sides. My past keeps me motivated. Was it hard to drop the weight, did I have to make major adjustments to the way I was eating? You beat your sweet cupcakes I did! My diet back then used to consist of grilled cheese, pb&j, hamburgers, mac' n' cheese, pizza, any sweet that was chocolate, chips, pancakes, cereal, waffles, carrots, and apples not kidding that was about the just of it.
I first began by cutting out soda and running more, I loved soccer it was my favorite but we weren't too serious at practice and I only ran tops 45 minutes straight once a week. I stated to be more open with what I ate. Not a lot, but I had to start somewhere.
What motivated me? What was the final straw?.... BOYS... but I feel like you all saw that one coming. I had been rejected by every boy that I had a major crush on. I didn't understand why, I thought I was the shit, which I was and still am. (hey it's ok to toot your own horn every now and then and have some self pride) Anyways, the boys didn't seem to think so, so I made it my mission to make sure that one day the situation would be turned around, and I made it happen!
I worked my butt off to drop the pounds. Was it easy no, were some days hard, you bet. I wasn't going to let that stop me, and I still haven't. You have to want it badly enough, and you know what, at the end of the day it wasn't for them, it was for me. I felt better about myself, had more confidence then ever, and I saw what I was capable of.
To this day, this situation in my life has kept me motivated and it helps me relate and understand what my clients go through and fight for. The daily struggles that come with it, and the body image issues you suffer from. It's all really tough, physically and mentally. I know it's not easy, but I have your back and I believe in you! That's why I share my knowledge and opinions with you to help you! I want you to feel that way! I want you to feel like you are the best version of you and have the very best quality of life!! That is what it is about, self love and self worth!
I hope this has helped you in some way! If you want to read more about my story it's posted in my very first blog on this site!
Love you all!
Pistols..Out!
