My brother is a body builder, so he exercises a lot and cares a lot about nutrition. Last week, I called him and shared my struggles with exercise motivation.
He said, "If you exercise only because you want to enjoy the positive effects, that's not going to be enough to drive a long term habit. To build a consistent, long term exercise habit, you need to learn to enjoy doing it: the motions, the environment, and how it feels."
I wanted to share that because it was a helpful insight for me. I've been trying to focus on how I feel during weight lifting: the exhilaration when my heart races, the sense of endurance when I power through a difficult set. Noticing these things is almost like a mindfulness exercise. I don't know that I love exercise yet, but I am starting to understand how someone could love it.

Happy Wednesday!
Throughout my weight loss, I came across a few little sayings/mottos that would run through my mind to inspire and motivate me. This is one that inspired me in more ways than I initially expected.
You earn your body! It sounds so simple. When I first heard the saying, I thought of it only in a positive way: I'm going to (workout, eat right, etc.) to earn the body that I want! Super encouraging!
Eventually I had the realization that when I wasn't sticking to my plan, I was still earning my body, just not the one that I want.
That was a huge Aha! moment and made the saying even more motivating and really inspired me to resist temptations (including food temptations, or the temptation of not doing my workouts, etc.). Your choices matter - for better or for worse!
Do you have an inspirational motto, or are you motivated by an event, a person/people? Whatever it is, I recommend writing it down and placing it where you'll see it every day! Maybe start an inspiration board!
Please share with us what is inspiring you today! Let's fill this page with inspiration!

- Back in 2015, I managed to drop 60 lbs over 1 year so I know I can do it. Back then, I was with my now ex. He criticized everything I did to lose those 60 lbs. Without his support, it felt like an uphill battle BUT I did it anyways! I keep one of my fav pics of my healthiest self as a phone background. Every time I open my phone, I see it and it reminds me what I’m capable of. 💜
I got in 40 minutes of exercise so far this week; my goal is 60 minutes. I am feeling confident about that!
I messed up my food calculation yesterday and way overdid the carbs. You can really see the difference in bloating after just one day! I had forgotten how impactful carbs can be. Not going near a scale for at least a couple of days.
From a meal planning perspective, I'm starting to think at least one meal each day should center on a salad of some kind. I LOVE grilled/roasted vegetables, but I'm concerned that they might be too oil heavy for a daily go-to. Is there a better way?

Happy Monday! Here we are in week two already!
We all start these games highly motivated, and hopefully you're still in that mindset. Motivation is likely to wane eventually, so don't be surprised if this happens to you. This is where good habits are key! When we develop good habits, then healthy choices become our default.
It's also encouraging to have little victories that spark your motivation from time to time. Weight loss is definitely one of those, but the scale doesn't always cooperate, so keep an eye out for those NSV's (non-scale victories). For example, walking away from temptation, fitting into smaller clothes, working out when you really didn't want to, accomplishing your water goal for x many days, etc. Celebrate those successes along the way and be proud of yourself!
What healthy habits are you working on developing? Do you have any NSV's to share?

I really haven't yet learned to enjoy the physical activity piece of this equation. I *want* to enjoy physical activity, and judging from my personality, I think I probably have the ability to enjoy it. But man, that ability is buried deep.
These days, when I wake up at 5am to exercise before work, my brain and body express the strong and united position that what I'm asking from them is just plain nuts. And even when I've had enough sleep, it's hard to resist that argument at 5am.
Due to a shortage of brilliant ideas, I think I'm going to resort to bribery. So y'all are my witnesses that on this day of 2024 I promised myself a small shopping trip for fun workout gear (clothes or sneakers?) once I aggregate 60 minutes of exercise over the course of this week.
