My life. My Story.

I have been so unmotivated to work out the past couple of weeks. You would think that this blog would have been enough to keep me going... but nevertheless, I've been stuck in a rut. Add lack of time into that equation and you get one lazy girl. Now that football season (my cousin Ray is a senior in high school and  plays for his school...we are hardcore Bobcats fans!!)  has started it seems like my life has been extremely busy... every single day. However, I've decided to not let my busy schedule control my life and my efforts to get fit. It's a goal that I want to achieve, so it's something that I will have to work at every single day. Of course there will  be obstacles along the way. My first obstacle is time management. I have to figure out a schedule that works for me and work as hard as I can when I can.

I've been extremely lucky to have some amazing women motivating me lately. My FIT671 partner, Emilie posted some very motivational quotes and pictures on my Facebook wall. They were awesome! My favorite quote was "Someone who is busier than you is running right now." Thanks Em. I'm back in the game now!

My sweet Aunt Nelwyn also encouraged me through a text message a couple of weeks ago. When I told her that getting fit is hard work she said, "You'll do great. When you make up your mind, it's done." I love it. I guess I hadn't made up my mind yet.... But now... I'm ready to get it done! Thank you Aunt Nelwyn!! :) I love you!

My friend Grace Moore is absolutely INCREDIBLE. She is on an amazing weight loss journey. Her goal is to lose 100 pounds. She is AMAZING. She's already halfway there... and this girl is UNSTOPPABLE. She has a very motivational blog.... click here to check it out and get ready for awesomeness. Yesterday she blogged about how other people word's can actually have a negative effect on you. Why do people feel the need to share their negativity with you?

I was really inspired by her closing lines... She said, "You have to write your own story. Your handwriting may suck, you might not be a good speller, and your hand will probably get tired sometimes…but DON’T YOU DARE hand someone else the pen."

With that being said, I just picked up my pen again and I'm ready to start writing. My story won't read, "she tried really hard," it will read, "she worked really hard and accomplished her goal." Let's get FIT.
