Vioces!!!

While I was running today I heard someone clapping, it was just my thoughts cheering me on.

OK, OK, so this isn’t the original quote. The original quote said thighs not thoughts but because my reading skills are awesome I read it thoughts the first time and really liked it. :) 

What are your thoughts saying to you?

This is a topic I have wanted to write about for a while and have talked about before.  There are always those people around or maybe our own self doubt that keep saying

"Oh, don't go workout today it is too windy, late, hard, busy, tired. ....

Fill in with you own excuse". 

or

"Oh just eat some cake and ice cream, you worked hard for it."

 or

"You can't lose weight you never have been able to, it's in your genes."

   or

"You can't lose any more weight.  You never have been able to get past this number"

To those thoughts I say

STOP IT!!!! 

 I am hoping you have some voices in your head or people around encouraging you instead....

 "I'll take the kids, go workout.  I know it is important to you"

 or

"I cooked the chicken on the grill instead of deep frying it today" 

 or 

"You walk a little taller when you workout"

  or 
"Man I feel great when I eat healthy"
or
"I went for a walk!!!"
or

 "YOU CAN DO IT.  KEEP GOING!!!" 

Now, I am one of those people that talks to myself and I am ok with it, :)  When im running or riding up a big hill I say "I can do this" when I'm looing at the thing of Oreos I say "No, find something healthy for snack!"  I want you to give it a try.  Say 3 nice, encouraging, uplifting things to yourself today.  Remember the list of things we like about ourselves we made.  Now might be the time to get it out and look at it if you need to.  Please do not let self doubt or negativity keep you down.  You CAN do this if you put the effort out.  Sometimes there are rough parts and stall parts and not enough time parts but don't let that stop you.  Take every good effort and give yourself the praise you deserve, then push through keeping your goal in mind. Tell yourself you can do it and believe it!

 

work quote

I LIKE

It is easy to get down on ourselves or be hard or negative.  We need to love/like ourselves regardless of what we think about our weight.  We all have good things about us.  I want you to make a list of 10 things you like about yourself.  It can be anything.  Your hair color, height, eye color, foot size, funny, a thinker, crafty, hard worker, anything.
Sit and look in the mirror and really think about it. I want you to write it down.  You don't have to show anyone but I want you to keep it in a safe place.  You might want to put it somewhere you can see it everyday, that is up to you but we will be coming back to it later :).
