Or rather the title could be "things that motivate".
Not working out.
Restaurants that don't have healthy options.
Not being able to run with my husband.
Loose skin.
I could go on but I won't.
I've discovered during this journey to a healthy lifestyle that the things I don't like…they don't get me down anymore…rather they MOTIVATE me for change.
Kyle says I'm a fighter. A beast.
(I love my shirt that says "mom in beast mode". It's pretty accurate.)
I make time to work out. It's a priority for me…for us…6 days a week.
Recently, I didn't get a chance to get my whole workout in (hello life!). I was frustrated for a moment and then I turned it to motivation to up my game rest of the week.
So, I didn't get to complete a day's workout or have time one day to workout? No problem - I'll just turn up the heat on other days.
Restaurants can serve whatever they want and I don't have to go to a certain restaurant if they don't have healthy options. I get that. But, this motivates me to get things changed.
A studio I go to is adding a cafe and asked for input on what kinds of foods to include. Well, it's a gym studio - so wouldn't it make sense to make the foods healthy at the cafe? It was so encouraging to give ideas on what kinds of foods would best fuel our bodies after a workout.
Small steps.
Not being able to run with my husband…yet. Key word: yet. He can run with me and slow his pace down but this mama wants to be able to run with him at his pace. What lit a fire under me for this was my sister being here and she can run at his pace.
Fuel. Motivation.
I'll get there. In the meantime, practice. Lift. I'm getting stronger and leaner and I'll be able to do it soon enough. But, oh, seeing my sister run with him makes me work harder for it…for sure.
Loose skin.
My husband says it's beautiful because I'm becoming healthy.
Now, while I don't share that exact sentiments of it being beautiful…I do know I'm becoming healthy and I like that.
So, if I get more loose skin…I know I'm doing the right thing.
Motivation.
I'm a fighter. I know I've always been a fighter and going through this process I've discovered just how much of a fighter I am.
