It always starts off so positively....

Posted on July 21, 2015

So I'm now three weeks into a transformer and....I am doing no better than I started. Sure, I've lost weight (3lbs) but most of it was by sheer luck. I haven't really put in the effort that I promised myself I would. I bought a fitbit but mostly just use it to keep track of my normal walking doing things around town, work, home. I've yet to step foot inside a gym and have only gone for a walk twice. Also my eating habits are the same and only change from stable to bad. I just don't know what it is that is happening. It always starts off so well but then it just drops off and I really wanted this time to be different.....

Which is why I'm doing the 10 day smoothie challenge. Friends have recommended it and I think it could be a good tool to give me a boost to kick up my get healthy journey(not about weight loss but getting healthy). So starting tomorrow evening I will be starting (07/22/2015). Wish me luck!

**Also I would love to be fitbit friends with any one who wants to as currently I have no fitbit friends :( , email me if you want to be fitbit friends, priscilla.kilili@gmail.com ^_^**

I know the feeling. I've been there so many times, and every time I tell myself it will be different. I'm trying to take it slowly. One thing at a time. I haven't gone cold turkey on all the junk food I love..that's a recipe for failure. But I'm trying to slowly eliminate things and replace them with healthier things. Really logging my food on MyFitnessPal has helped. And as for gym motivation...I make myself go. When I get home, I change into gym clothes, even if I'm not going right away. I find it's harder to talk myself out of going if I'm already dressed for it. We should be FitBit friends!

Own it, girl! It's so hard to stay motivated. I totally understand. All you can do is keep trying and treat every day as a fresh start. Good luck on your smoothie challenge! I drink smoothies for breakfast pretty often-- I love frozen dark cherries, a banana, spinach, almond milk, and a serving of protein powder or greek yogurt, and a couple of splenda packets. Totally my favorite. You can do this!!

I think it is normal for most people to start off really positive. Then, life hits!! You end up with birthdays to celebrate, the weather being too hot to get out and walk, house cleaning that needs to be done, anything but go to the gym right. I say, what we are doing here is a life style change. You still need to be able to live life comfortably and be able to enjoy life. Do not get down on yourself. Just make the right choices food 75% of the time, add some exercise in when you can. As soon as you find the right balance it will all be ok. If you want someone to compete with on fitbit, let me know!!! :)
