Motivation

So as I have stated, I want to have a new body. My ultimate goal is to be lean, tone, and healthy. However, being a new mom and trying to make healthy changes isn't a walk in the park. Two word Sleep Deprivation. OK well maybe not total sleep deprivation, but not getting your normal night of continual sleep makes it hard to stick to things. For instance, eating clean and exercising require time. However when your baby is fussing and you are tired it is SOOO easy to do what is easy. Like for breakfast cereal, or nothing at all for that matter (yes I know as a breastfeeding mom I need to eat my breakfast!) is easier than making steal cut oatmeal (which take 30 mins!) or eggs. This is just one way that it is easy for me to do what is easy. But I know that I will never have the lean, tone healthy body and life I want if I don't make the time. So I make a point to go to my closet and look a particular brick red button front knee length dress, and say " If I want to fit in you and look fabulous I must make the time!" I have made this dress my motivation, that and reading the amazing success stories from the Oxygen magazine. So what is your motivation for being healthy?

New Body

So I am ready to get back to pre-baby, pre-marriage, pre-college weight! If you type in "weight loss" in Google, OMG what you will find. Promises of 15 lbs in 15 hrs and other crazy things like that. As much as I would LOVE to loose weight that fast I know it is at all healthy. I have been looking into a lifestyle change not a quick fix. So I was super excited about the Eating Clean Diet. Writer and figure competitor Tosca Reno has some really good books on eating clean. I love what I have read. I know that it will make me healthier and fit. Which is the most important thing. So here it to my new body.

I promise to be kind to the current one, no negative thinking, or criticism. I promise to feed my body healthy wholesome fresh food. I promise to move my body in exercise. And I promise to have a positive and happy outlook no matter how fast or slow the weight come off! OK!
