MOTIVATION

Alright, people. 

I'm officially putting it in writing and posting it on the internet so that it is official and forever etched into our cyber-world. I'm making you all aware of something that I have been putting off for far too long and simply must get started with.

It's time to get healthy.

It's time to eat well.

It's time to MOVE.

It's time to get in shape. 

I'm going to finish what I started nearly four years ago.

I'm doing it for me.

I'm doing it to be healthy.

I'm doing it to lose the weight and keep it gone.

I'm doing it for the future.

I'm doing it because I'm wearing a strapless dress in my best friend's wedding. (I get one shallow reason!)

DON'T YOU FEEL MOTIVATED?! 

(I sure do!)

Though, I'm sure none of you really care about this, (and I mean that in the least dramatic way possible. I probably wouldn't care if I saw someone posting something like this) I just wanted to confess the beginning of this continuing journey to the world. For the sake of posterity and documentation, I suppose. 

There is a treadmil, a stationary bike, weights, an exercise ball, and resistance bands across the hall from my bedroom and I've been putting the use of them off for way too long. I've been pinning beach abs and dancer butt workouts to my fitness board for weeks now but I never do them. 

I'M STOPPING THAT.

I think my biggest problem has been lack of motivation and time mismanagement. I've come to the realization that one set routine isn't going to work for every week, as each one is different. So what I've decided to do is each Saturday night (STARTING TOMORROW) I'm going to map out my fitness schedule for the week and just back into the swing of things. 

I know it's going to be hard.

I know it's going to hurt.

I know I'm going to want to give up.

But I'm not going to quit this anymore. I only get to be this young once, and I'm taking advantage of this fact. I will revel in the freedom I have now and make the most of it.  

Do you feel the same way? Because, if you do, I would love some accountability in food, exercise, or both! (If you're feeling adventurous!) 

later!
