Motivation Mishaps

So, lately..... I have been...... what's the word...... slacking.

I have been to the gym once.

And I have eaten everything that hasn't eaten me.

I have gained 3 pounds.

I know why my motivation left, I just don't know how get it back.

Most people love me (or tolerate me) for my honesty and openness. So I am going to be both things, open and honest. I could say my lack of motivation came from anywhere. But, if we are being honest, it came from a boy letting me down. You don't need the details, and this isn't the place to air them, but let's just say it went from really good to really bad really fast. And I was not really happy.

When bad things happen, it is so easy to go back to old, bad habits and I have many old, bad habits. Two of the main ones are sitting on my butt and watching TV and eating my feelings, which I have done the for the last few days.

Even thought I'm over the initial shock and embarrassment of the situation, however my motivation is still not here.

SO why I have learned some valuable lessons....

.... my motivation is still lost.

So what do you do to find motivation again..... Really....I need help.

Jeans

No matter how stores try to candy coat it, there is a certain stigma around the plus size section of stores. They can call it curvy or misses or whatever, but we all know what it is. There is an imaginary line in the middle of the store where no one wants to cross. At least that's how I feel about it. I'm sure the girls on the "regular" side could careless, or the workers for that matter, but I always feel self conscious when shopping on the side of the store. Sure, you get used to it and laugh when you're with your skinny friends and say "I'll be over on the big girl side" and saunter on your way to the plus size section. While you began to search through the racks on your side, you secretly long to be on the other side of the store, where there is double, sometimes triple the selection of clothes. You find something, take it back to the dressing room to try it on. It doesn't look right, it's too tight, it's not what you thought ...

Transformation Tuesday

Good Tuesday Morning to you all! I am up bright and early to go to a workshop today. It was hard to get up, which is funny because I get up early every other day. Anyways, this blog isn't about my workshop, it's about Transformation Tuesday.... I literally just read a quote on facebook while I was looking for a picture to use, that sums up transformation: Transformation is not easy. It starts on the inside before you see it on the outside. There are struggles. It comes with pain. It comes with a lot of hard work and effort. Without going through the tough stuff you aren't able to enjoy true transformation. Don't be discouraged but the rough days. Greater things are on the other side! ♥ That's the honest truth. Transformation isn't easy, but it is the most enjoyable thing I have experienced. And the thing about transforming your body, you also transform your mind. Everything changes. This is me. This is me before...

Last year during a book study at school we were reading The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon. One of our assignments during our study was to pick one word for our year which is also based on a book, My One Word by Mike Ashcraft and Rachel Olsen. Long story short, instead of making a resolution for the New Year. You pick a word. If you go here you can read about that. Basically, here is a simple three step introduction. Step One: Determine the kind of person you want to be. Step Two: Identify the characteristics of that person. Step Three: Pick a word. Last year, I picked the word consistent. I felt that I did a good job being consistent. I started thinking about what word I wanted to use for 2019. I have been thinking for a few weeks. I have still been thinking about the person I want to be this year, and for every year for that matter. I have thought about those characteristics of that person. And today, on th...
