Priorities...


Motivation sure can make you rearrange what you make important in your life. This entire semester I've spent going out with friends and doing homework late into the night. Well, realizing how soon April 9th is, you could say my ass got kicked into gear. I've shifted my priorities from my friends and school work to myself. Isn't it weird how often we forget about ourselves? You don't want to make your friends mad so you go out with them even when you don't really feel like it. It's been drilled into your head to do well in school so you focus solely on that.

Well, for the rest of the semester, I'm done. I'm not saying done completely, but I'm coming first. Tonight my friend wanted to go to dinner but I didn't want to
be tempted to not eat well the 3rd day of doing this. So I kindly said no maybe another time, I was busy. I came home and made that delicious salad. Everyone should make their own pesto! It's so easy and delicious. After that, I should've started an essay due tomorrow. However, I finally uncovered my Nordic track that's been unseeable all semester and worked out. It felt really good.

I watched a video that said if you really want to drop pounds and be able to see it, you need to work out 5-6 days for 30 minutes, plus do some weights. Of course eat healthy as well. So, since I didn't work out yesterday, I need to keep it up the rest of the week. However, I forgot the natural high your body gets from working out and it's a feeling I missed. A feeling I want to have every day. It's good.


Kate Beckinsale in a bikini is always good motivation, her body looks a lot more normal that those stick thin actresses.

agreed. reading these posts always gives me an extra boost of motivation!
i started thinking today that i wanted to make cupcakes cause i was craving them and i stopped and used logic....do i really think the cupcakes are more valuable than fitting into my old clothes?....
and so i just stuck to light food.
its all about costs and benefits.
Some things I worth sacrificing and some aren't.

Good job on a good start! Keep it up dear!
