Falling off track...

Falling off your your health and fitness track can make you unmotivated, depressed, and can make you just want to give up.

TRUST ME WHEN I SAY: I KNOW. I HAVE BEEN THERE.




Even today.




I don't want to make excuses for my actions. I have grown to dislike my excuses. But my circumstances are a bit different than most people I know. Because I don't have my own place, I am living with my sister and her wife, and their two kids. Boys. One is 14 and the other one is 11.




So of course, puberty is kicking in and they eat up everything, They are bottomless pits. We can have the house full of food one day and it seems like a week later, its all gone. And right now, I am getting caught up on all the bills so I can start actually saving again. So most of my money is going elsewhere until I get caught up... so when it comes to food, we usually have to eat the food they buy. But due to these growing kids, its is so much cheaper for them to buy the terrible processed foods and junk and get more of it.

BAD NEWS BEARS for someone like me who is trying to change the way I eat. This month has been really tough for me. I know that the biggest ways to lose weight is through your diet. So no matter how much I work out, if I keep putting the bad stuff into my body, I won't get the results I want, if i get any at all.




Hopefully with my next paycheck, I will be able to pay my daughters daycare and still be able to get the food that I need to eat for myself.

----Ahhh.. the struggles of a young single mother that has never been on her own and still trying to figure life out, while changing her lifestyle at the same time.----







The point of this blog post wasn't to fill you in on all my financial problems, or to throw myself a pity party though. The point was: No matter what your situation is, never give up on your health/fitness goals.

Things will get tough, Slip-ups will happen. Its just important to remember to shake it off and keep it moving. The only way to reach your goals is to do what you have to do. Eat right, exercise. I'm reading The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson right now and I just know he would say something like----The secret to success is very easy to do, and very easy not to do. What makes the successful people different from the people that can't seem to succeed is the fact that they do what the others won't. Even the smallest change, the smallest decision can turn in to BIG RESULTS!!




So , I'll leave you with that thought and go make my Shakeology and Turbo Jam:)
