NOBODY:

Me: So how long do i have till I’m giving body-od-ody?

Hey girl! We have 4 months until it is officially summer and you’re still working on that body-ody-ody right? No? Let’s be real. You haven’t been to the gym, you been slippin’ with the sugar and carbs. When was the last time you pooped regularly, and on a daily basis? Oh TMI? There’s no such thing here because we’re going to hold each other accountable.

challenge accepted

I found this workout on pinterest (where I typically find my workouts), and I want you to do this with me, okay?

switch it up

This is how I keep myself interested in working out. I do things sporadically sometimes because I can be impulsive, but I also get bored easy. Switching up my workout keeps things fresh and new, and gives me an incentive to keep going. Knowing that I’m hitting different levels of strength and stamina helps too. You’re going to have to push yourself. Cardio has always been the most difficult and my least favorite thing to do, so I had to get over it. I started with that. I knew that if I couldn’t be consistent with that, and push my pride aside long enough to get it done, I never would. Here I am, and cardio is alright with me. I have to do more to see more results but I’m proud of myself.

treat yo’self

but not with candy or ice cream. Honestly, the only treat I’ll accept is wine. I was informed that I have to let that go if I REALLY want to see results. Honestly, bump that, as one of my favorite mommy-friends said. One glass of wine per week sounds okay to me (maybe even two LOL SUE ME). Clearly, I’m still working on telling myself no about some things, but this is necessary. When you hit a milestone you’re proud of, find a way to pat yourself on the back. You’re a winner before you’ve lost all the weight, gained all the muscle, or run a certain amount of miles. Being consistent and not quitting will always be cause for celebration.

For the record, I’m totally writing this to myself, as well as you. I am proud of how serious I am taking my health, and I’m taking it one day at a time, but I could definitely do better. I’m holding ME accountable. This isn’t something I’m doing just to serve body-ody-ody. I’m serious about living a healthy life. Health truly is WEALTH.
