Today I used one of my favorite motivational tools http://www.weightmirror.com/. This is a snap shot of what I look like now at a current weight of 264.2 (I know I gained a lot back) and what I would look like at 185 lbs.
Sometimes you just need a little reminder of what you're fighting for. I remember!!! I want to look like that, or close to it. Although 185 is not my stopping point I can't wait to look like that! I just have to remember that although my body isn't always appreciative of what I'm doing for it; I can't stop. Not now, or ever this is a race without a finish line. For the rest of my life I have exercise and make healthy choices. That's a scary thought, I know. "Forever" is a little scary in any context but if it brings happiness, "forever" is the best description. So, like my marriage, I'm in this FOREVER.
Our bodies are our greatest instruments and we're supposed to take care of them. I haven't done that but luckily it's not too late to reverse the damage I've done, and that's what I intend to do. Who's in.
Special thanks for my friend Denise for the great conversation we had on this topic! :-D
***CHECK OUT MY NEW MILESTONE LIST***
I love the milestone list...great idea! And I saw your doing the Princess half marathon...super cool! I wanted to do it again this year but it was too much money for us right now so I'm doing a Miami Beach one instead :) Keep it up girly! You're doing great!
ReplyDeleteSo proud of you Nery!!! Keep going and I hope we can be at the "party of your life".!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's crazy! That really puts into perspective what your goal is. Actually SEEING what your goal is, rather than just looking at it as just a number, makes a difference! I just might try that out! Keep up the good work. :)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, L-O-V-E the milestone list! Funny thing is, I think you'll have an easier time sticking to workouts and exercising than actually rewarding yourself! You NEVER put yourself first and you SO deserve to do so. You are amazing and once you get to each of those milestones you need to just tell yourself that you're not "giving" yourself a gift...you're just paying yourself what you've EARNED!!! Keep going, girlie! You can do it!
