The Big AHA!

Good morning everyone!  Today I just wanted to talk a little bit about my intensions of this blog.  My basic goal is to help inspire someone, anyone to get to that AHA! moment. That moment when it all just clicks.  That moment when you know you are going to make that change to better your health FOR REAL this time. 

That moment for me was trying on a pair of jeans at Express.  I was in the dressing room jumping around, wiggling, and doing low squats (ladies, you know what I'm talking about!) trying to get this pair of jeans to squeeze over my "hail damaged" thighs and oversized ass.  At that moment, standing there, staring at myself in the mirror and sweating from the struggle with the jeans, I realized..."It doesn't have to be like this!" "You can do something about it!"  And I did!  I changed my eating and exercise habits.  That moment changed my life. I want everyone to experience that moment when you know that it's going to be different this time.  It's not going to be some fad diet and a couple of days walking on the treadmill.  It's going to be a lifestyle change and you are going to get healthy! 

It was and still is hard at times.  There are days that I just DO NOT want to go to the gym or go out for a run.  Then I remember that feeling I had in the dressing room that day and I think, "what's 1 hour of your day?"  Everyone can spare 1 hour or even a half hour for that matter each day to take care of themselves.

If you are not sure how to get started you can just ask me any questions you may have.  I would love to hear about other people's experiences!  Another great way to get some ideas about fitness and nutrition is to join the Tone It Up Bikini Series.  These ladies are awesome and have such a great community following them!  Check them out at www.toneitup.com!  Their site is a great motivator for sure!  I did their workout of the day yesterday...talk about sweaty mess!  Whew!



That's all I've got for now...

XOXO
