Pin It!

Why??

My husband tells me I am a little obsessed over my fitness journey. The thing with me is that I get hot and heavy in something, and then will fizzle out. I have done it a lot with a lot of different things. I know that if I do not keep it on my mind everyday the same thing will happen. I am not dieting, I hear this a lot from people especially some family members, "oh your on a diet". No I am not on a diet. I chose to cut the unhealthy things from my life. I lost weight I never intend to find the weight again, and I never intend to add those unhealthy things back in my life. To me a diet is a temporary thing where I am depriving myself from certain foods just to lose some weight. Once the weight is off then I go off the diet. Of course when you do that you gain it all back. So no I am not on a diet, no yo-yo fad diets for this gal. I prefer to just eat whole clean foods.

So for me I must keep eating this way everyday. Also it is important for me to keep my motivation to talk about it with others. I get inspired by sharing my story with others, and hearing theirs. Or by motivating others. So why do I want to exercise and eat healthy? I am doing to make myself happy and healthy. I want to be an inspiration to others especially my children. I want them to have me as a positive role model, and have someone to look up to. I want to be healthy to be around for all the important things in their lives. I want to challenge myself everyday to do something to make myself a better person. Yes I am a little obsessed, but I say I would rather be obsessed over being healthy than some of the unhealthy things I was doing before. So why are you doing it? Why is being healthy important to you?

I suppose I'm a bit obsessed too, but I'm the same way, if I don't keep it at the forefront of my mind I will get tired of it and quit. I do need to find some way to balance out everything in my life, but the past week has been fitness, fitness, fitness! When I'm not working out or taking care of my son I'm on Facebook looking at the tons of fitness and running Facebook pages I have found. I have a review blog I am way behind on and I had started writing a book that I need to get back to, but I'm worried if I don't just stay focused on my health and fitness then I will start slacking off on that. I'm bipolar and I can get a bit obsessive with things I start, but it is easy for me to lose interest too. I need to keep working hard, to keep seeing results, to keep me going.

You're doing great! I'm following your blog now and added you to the "blogs I read" widget in my sidebar. :)

Thank you for following me!! I appreciate it.

I stay home with my children, but I go to school full time. Other than school, family and church I am focused on fitness. I agree I can lose interest very quickly with things. That is why I started this blog and my Facebook page. It helps keep me motivated. You should get back to your book. I am writing a cookbook. It is not my top priority right now, but I am slowly working on it. I know including my family in everything has definitely helped keep me motivated!
