I still need to lose lots of weight, and every time I try, I fail after about 2 weeks. Why can't I stay the course? Why is it so hard to eat healthy and exercise every day? Does it have to be so overwhelming?
I feel totally inspired by Jen and her weight-loss journey. I want to share her link for anyone that is struggling with their weight and/or health. Jen inspires me so much! I have also found some inspiring quotes to share with you that I found on Pinterest. I am going to print a few of them to display around my house to inspire me. Here are a few of my faves...
(I got this one off Jen's blog... love it!)
...I will share more of these another time. In the meantime, I hope this post and link brings inspiration to someone out there. I recently [re]started my weight-loss journey, and I WILL succeed this time. I need all the "fitspiration" I can get!!!
I read somewhere (Probably on pinterest. :) That's where I read everything.) that it takes 4 weeks for you to notice a difference, 8 weeks for your family, and 12 weeks for others. I am almost to the 4 weeks, and I am starting to feel more toned and fit. Now I keep telling myself that I need to make it 4 more weeks and my family will start to comment on the change. Then 4 more and everyone will notice and hopefully it will be more of a habit by then. I have lost 30 lbs pre pregnancy weight. I has been 4 years since my son's been born, so it averages out to about 7 or 8 lbs a yeear, but imagine if I had instead just given up and let myself gain 7 or 8 lbs a year. That would add up fast over the years. Thanks for a great post!
ReplyDeleteIt has taken me years to find something that works, or maybe it is just that I am finally ready to commit to changing my life and letting go the old. I'm 25 pounds down using Weight Watchers Online. I like it for me, I've tried so many things over the years, even regular WW mtgs, but nothing has worked until now. I, like you, would last about 2 weeks, then regress back. About 2 years ago, I decided to explore the deeper reasons why I could not seem to lose weight. I focussed on the me inside for the last few years. I seem too accomplish so many other things in my life, but had not mastered this one, until now.
ReplyDeleteI feel like it is a journey, I still have a ways to go, but finally feel like this time I can make it. You can too. Keep at it. Thanks for the inspirational story. I can always use a success to help me along.
Wow she is inspiring. She doesn't even look like the same person. Please tell me more abut the "Live The Life" program I read in one of your other posts.
