Just a friendly reminder….this is why you follow me! I am here to give you a kick to reach your goals, so instead of feeling guilty (like i am doing right now, staring at an empty chocolat bar. I will still kill my gym workout!!!) never feel sorry or regret, every day is a new start. Your the one who chooses if its worthwhile starting over for.
Never really know which exercises are good for which parts of your stomach?
Here is a handy help, to show you which crunches are good to tighten up certain areas.
Is it Monday already?..
Thats what i ask myself every week. I can’t believe the time goes so fast, each week i count the days that i have workout out. I used to go tot the gym about 5 times a week, i should still be doing that. When living a busy lifestyle, you feel tired and weighed down. It makes you decide not to go to the gym, even though we all know that the gym takes away that feeling and leaves you with a positive energy and proud feelings. Then again its Monday, Monday is a day you should never skip. Because when its Friday and you are counting you week full of workouts you will be surprised that you have already successfully made it to the gym 3 of 4 times. When you skip Monday, you skip Tuesday, you might have a Wednesday session, but then skip Thursday again. Its a your body telling you that you have better things to do, like give in to its laziness of comfortable pillows on your couch, whispering you havent seen the last episode of your favorite series yet. But who are we kidding, we are adult women. Shake that voice off and find your motivation, your tomorrow body will be thanking your today body. And even though I don’t even always follow my own advice, i look back from Friday wishing i got my Monday workout in.
Argh…i know, i also always get jealous of beautiful tight long legs. I am quit small, 5.4 (165cm) and tend to get wide as i gain weight. I have small legs, and quit bulky so i always try to do exercise which support them getting thinner insead of bulkier and more muscular.
if you have the same problem, then here is a secret: try to do your exercise light weight with more reps. This will speed up your heart rate, and also give you toning because you are lifting weights. If you want to perfect your workout, do 20 min of cardio after every weight lifting session. My workout looks like: Lifting weights 30-40min, cardio 20 min. And maybe a 5 min warming up sesh before you start doing your weight lifting to prevent tears.
Hello my beauties! Sorry I havent written in a while.
I have come to miss it, writing does really give you a sort of release. I have noticed that having issues in your personal life really influences your whole mood -> fitness and health mood. It can go two ways, or it can make you give up, or it will make you want to fight harder. usually with women its the first option.We tend to tie our emotional imbalance to our diet and fitness regime. It either includes a very large box of sweets, mostly chocolate, cupcakes, donuts or a big pizza, during stuffing our faces we realize that not only does food not fill the gap we are feeling, we just like to add some alcohol to the problem. Because we all know alcohol really helps emotional situations :D.
anyway all coming down to, being a women is hard! You shouldn’t be searching for respect from other people if you don’t respect yourself. Respecting yourself is the key in any relationship, including the relationship you have with your body. It is so important to be happy with yourself and feeling happy inside. This is where you will find the motivation to change! I know its hard, its a daily struggle. I have recently joined emily sky’s 30 day ab shred, including a forum on Facebook. These ladies on there are amazing, they really put in 100%. What we keep forgetting is that its not a diet, you are okay if you indulge into something you enjoy eating. Its the quantity you do it with, and of course the feeling you eat it with. Are you enjoying this? or are you sad about something else and hoping to find comfort in snacks. Its a healthy life style you are fighting for, a mentality not based on binging or discuss. I would love to be happy with myself every day, but I remain being a women, and being a women means dealing with mental instabilities every day haha..we all know the struggle is real!
This is one of the many mysteries of a healthy life style, the motivation. Finding it, keeping it and pursuing it. Its a dedication and love for your body and feeling healthy. I must say I have had such a huge crash for the longest period of time, no motivation what so ever. I must say once you find that urge of making each day better than the day before you start to remind yourself of a love for your body and feeling fit. The sweets, fats, alcohol are so addictive and really give your body a kick-off signal when you are trying to go healthy again. They say having a cheat day is important to keep your body’s metabolism up, but one day cheating turns into 10 day cheating, for me at least.
I was looking for it every day, where was it? in my closet? under my bed? in the fridge?…no definitely not in the fridge! the fridge was not trying to be my best friend but more like my frenamy. Something I couldnt live without but wanted to, Then there it was….1st of January it came peeking around the corner, MY MOTIVATION. It was back, with a tiny slip up for my new years Happy Meal, O well..it was back!! i could feel it was for keeps this time. No binging at 10pm anymore, no i really felt like i should take care of this body i live in every day, which carries me through tough periods and happy periods, the body i want to appreciate and look up to!
That should be your wish to, and trust me…feeling unmotivated is only human, you just have to trust yourself that somewhere its closer than you think you just need to give it a chance to show you that you can! YES YOU CAN
