Some days do not go as planned. I woke up thinking that it would be a gorgeous day and I would race home to go for that perfect sunset bridge run. Mother Nature had other plans and I contemplated whether or not to go to the gym tonight. Like me, most of you get into a rut and I am finally coming out of mine. I have been getting back into the workout routine and it feels great. The only way I stick to a healthy routine is to constantly motivate myself. I am learning again how to be my own cheerleader and sometimes I have to dig deep to find what pushes me to be the best I can be each day. I know sofas feel great after a long day at work, but add a tight tush and toned legs to what's sitting on that couch and we have victory. Here are some things that motivated me to take that spin class tonight. Hopefully this will inspire you to create your own list of what helps you make healthier choices.
If she can do it, then I can do it. I am talking about my favorite instructor at the gym. You think you have a lot going on...
1. She has four, as in the number 4, kids!
2. She is a teacher as well as a workout instructor, so I know she is b-u-s-y just
like the rest of us.
3. Do I really need to list any other obligations or life
altering situations here? I was done at her having FOUR kids.
A big part of what gets my blood pumping is motivating others. Sign up for a run or walk with a group of friends and let the cheerleading begin. It's great having others holding you accountable! These are some of my girls that completed the Honda Classic 5K with me last weekend. All of us exceeded our expectations!! Go us!
Eying these bikini "blues" and not the ones that come with the insecurities of putting one on. Keep the end in mind. Summer will be here soon.
Music is a big motivator for me. Here are my top 10 jams that fill my iPod right now and keep me moving and grooving. I would love to hear your suggestions as well!
10. Gangam Style - PSY
9. Ghosts N Stuff - Deadmau5
8. Memories - David Guetta
7. In My Arms - Mylo
6. Our God - Chris Tomlin (yes, Christian music)
5. Home - Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros
4. Save the World - Swedish House Mafia
3. Feel So Close - Calvin Harris
2. Midnight City - M83
1. Levels - Avicii
Do I expect the best from this group every day? Of course! I press them every minute of the day to give me their all... so who am I to not do the same for myself? I have to remind myself that I should not talk the talk when I am not walking my own walk.
I hope this puts a little pep in your step. Have a great week! :)
