>Motivation. What motivates you??? you see this question everywhere, every diet, fitness website asks it. My motivation, is knowing that all the hard work, sore muscles, eatting egg whites and oatmeal everyday will pay off, hearing my BF say to me how much better I look, but most of all knowing I’m doing something for myself that will not only change my physical appearance but my inside.

Some people I’ve talked to in the health world think I’m CRAZY for not only quitting smoking, but for taking on this huge diet/exercise plan. I think it’s funny people would think this, because to me instead of focusing on “needing” a smoke, I focus on eatting healthy and working out. Some might say I traded one addiction for another; but is trying to be healthier really an addiction??

I used to HATE going to the gym, but ended up going because I was tired of feeling FAT, tired of NOTHING fitting right, NOT being able to wear my skinny jeans.. but most of all because my BF is a fitness fanatic that always goes to the gym, and one day he said to me ” you can bitch all you want, but I’m still going, you can come with me, or you can sit there and be pissed; up to you.”

So I went, I amost dies on the elliptical for 45 minutes..hating every moment of it..but after time started loving it, upping the intensity. Then one day came the weights…I felt soooo weird because at our gym you have the “girly weights” you know the ones, where you sit down, do isolated moves..but one day I decided to train with the big boys. I did my first set of 21’s with a 35lb barbell.. O-M-G!!!

I never felt so proud, until I started doing leg presses working my way up in weight until I managed to do 3 sets of 20 at 350lbs.

This alone was amazing to me that I could do this, until a guy walking by had to take a double take and commented on how he couldn’t even do that much!! YES!!!! To me that motivated me to do more, to push myself more, and more each time.

I’ve commented on home workouts I follow, and I’ve mentioned that they are on the intense side. But being able to accomplish them and see the results motivates me.
Knowing that all this hardwork, will pay off and I will wear a bikini this summer, motivates me.
Having a woman come up to me after seeing me at the gym and say’s ‘I wish I look like you’, motivate me.
Reading fitness blogs, and seeing the incredible transformations motivates me, Ava Cowan motivates me, Jamie Eason motivates me.

So I ask, what motivates you??

>Okay so like most people I resolved to lose weight this year, and it’s going really well!! Yaay me!!!! lol But I want to clear up a little confusion for you!!

Diet: The best way to lose weight is to EAT CLEAN!!! I have been following the eat clean diet for the past 2 months and have dropped 15lbs so far and am feeling amazing!!

Exercise: you need to do it!!! I don’t care how many calories you try and cut you still need to exercise. This bothered me when I started going to the gym, most of the women there looked like models and I felt sooo uncomfortable at first. Thinking everyone was looking at me, till I got into the mindset of ” At least I’m not sitting at home infront of the tv, eatting a bag of doritos” and focused on the reason I was there, to make MYSELF better!!! Screw what people think!!

In our society it is sooo sad that we are all judged on our weight, we all judge I’ve done it, you’ve done it, come on you know you have!! I’ve got friends that are small and bigger and I love em all. But it makes me so sad when people feel the need to call someone fat, like they don’t know that they’re a little larger?? Was it neccessary for you to make that comment?? Probably not and the funny thing is, is that person thinks that by saying something rude like that, that the larger person is gonna run to a gym because you decided to be a douchelord!! Grow up and keep your mouth shut!!!

Okay back to the reason for this post..

The fiction, that diet shakes and pills alone will help you lose weight is so funny I’m lol as I write this!! Because popping a pill and sitting on the couch is gonna help!! lol

Although I have recently begun taking a supplement to help the weightloss move a little faster but I do exercise with it: I’ve been using Hemodrene for her, and find the results kinda amazing.

So here’s to carrot sticks and protein bars.. xoxox
