Weight Loss.

Have you ever felt like you've been working out forever yet you never see any results? 

If you have, I am here with you. This has been on my mind recently, for more personal reasons. I will explain these to you very soon in another post. 

I've been going gym twice a week and trying my best to eat healthier, yet I don't feel like I'm getting any results. I honestly believe that somewhere along this path I am slipping up somewhere, the only major problem is I'm not quite sure where the slip up is. It could be anywhere from me not eating the right stuff, to not drinking enough water. 

I have to take action and take this completely serious. I don't believe in starving myself of junk food but when I have junk food I tend to eat it at night time, of course the worse time to have it. Because of this I believe it's time to set myself a few rules, no more eating after 7.00pm and once I get used to that I'll change it to 6.00pm. This will hopefully after time stop me from craving foods every hour of the night. 

I'll start getting up earlier and then I'll start making more of my days, from cleaning my room to walking my dogs and I'm even going to try and jog around the block and see how that goes. 

One thing I have never mentioned in my blog posts is how I feel about myself, I judge myself 24/7 I am extremely critical of every thing that I do, from walking to running anything, even talking. But now it's time to stop, because I judge people I assume they will judge me, but why should I care what they think? After all, am I not doing this to prove those type of people wrong? 

I am going to do my best and remind myself of this constantly, another reason why I wanted to share this with you today! 

Of course these changes will not be simple and I'll fight constantly against them, but it's about the push or should I say the mental push through these barricades in my life. 

Lets see if things will change with these little changes I make. 

Gathering Motivation.

This post will definitely be a strange one but I've found a way of keeping myself motivated at the hardest of times. As you all know, I attend McCauley's gym in Plymouth. It's an amazing place, good fun and they have all the equipment I need, I do wish the facilities were slightly larger but that's just because as summer has arrived so has new members.

'Doesn't it annoy you when summer creeps in and suddenly everyone joins gym thinking they'll get a summer body within a matter of days/weeks?' 

Any way, I've always struggled with motivation and being a positive thinker, it's hard to imagine when you meet me in real life but it's true. I've begun a little bank of images that I use to remind me of why I'm doing this, I'm doing this for myself I want to impress myself with how hard I can work on something and achieve it. 

This is in fact a lot harder than I first thought it would be, this is because I can only go gym twice a week at the moment due to money but this isn't stopping me. Illness does get in the way, but I work through illness. 

None the less, it's time to give you an idea of what kind of imagery I keep, this is on my phone so it's with me 24/7, this is not only for convenience but for the sake of me needing it. I need to know what I'm aiming for, I can have them as backgrounds of some kind. Anything to bring the image to my attention to highlight the reasons for me doing this once more. 

She has a beautiful body doesn't she? It's incredible, but most importantly it's healthy! I understand everyone has their own way of losing weight but I think we have to remember to do it the healthy way. Remember you want to improve your body, not torture it. 

Another woman with an incredible stomach, you'll notice they are mostly legs and stomached I have because I'm so desperate to improve these two areas as they are my trouble areas. 

I've also got a goal in mind, I want to improve my mid section to the point of being able to wear these sexy crop tops whilst working out. This will not only help me to boost my confidence but it'll help me be a stronger person. I'll have to work hard to maintain the beautiful mid section. 

I just hope these photos help you the same way they help me, remember you're doing this for yourself and no one else you'll just have to remember that as best as you can. 

Good luck on your weight loss.
