I know I update my Facebook a lot. Lately, I update a lot about my diet, exercise, progress and so on (and Gary Allan lyrics thrown in for good measure). I do this for one reason....it keeps my motivated. I have people tell me I am an inspiration and a motivator, which I love to hear, but truth is there are days I feel like anything but those things. So, I know if I put it on Facebook, I will do it. Like today this morning I posted that I planned to go to the gym and to zumba. Will since I put it out there in the open, I would feel like a failure or that I let someone down if I didn't do both, so I did both.
I post my accomplishments too. Not to brag or to have someone say "Oh wow, you're doing great!" but because I am proud. I'm a fat girl. I didn't get this way because I like to eat healthy and exercise. Truth is most days I hate it. I hate to run. I hate to run more than anything in this world... more than the color orange, more than meatloaf, more crickets... Today, I ran. I ran for 5 minutes straight. I did a mile in 12 minutes. 12 minutes! A month ago, I was doing a 24 minute mile. You know what, I still hate running, but when I accomplish something, I am proud. I like people to brag on my accomplishments. But mostly, to stay motivated I celebrate EVERY accomplishment. You can celebrate with me, or hide me.
*On a side note, I know have 8 followers. If you want to make me extremely happy, let's up my follower number. No you won't get a cool prize, no one pays me for this crap, so I have nothing to give away. However if you click follow, I will personally give you a hug or a high five next time I see you in public, whichever you prefer.
