inspiration

I have never been the girl that can be the weight she wants, have the awesome "cut" arms, abs, or legs and not even lift a finger to have that.  And I'm not trying to be silly.  You know how some people don't have to ever try to eat right or exercise? Well, I am definitely not one of those people.  And don't get me wrong, I am not severely over weight at all.  I am at the top of my weight range for my age and height.  I am not comfortable in my body right now.  I hate being in a swim suit in front of people.  And if I am going to work hard at being on my game with working out and eating right then I want to get something out of it, not just stay the same way I am.  

Today marks the 3rd week of doing Insanity again.  I got on the scale this morning....guess what I found?!  Five pounds heavier?! What the heck?! I've been working out 4 days a week and tracking my calories with every single bite I take.  So, I consulted a friend (a personal training friend to be exact...you know who you are, and thank you!)  that gave me some advice on how to change some things to hopefully help me be able to loose weight.  Her theory was that I was not putting enough calories in vs how many I was burning so my body was under consuming which made it start eating up muscle and storing fat. Starting today I am increasing my calories as well as eating at least 100 calories post work out.


My point to all this rambling is that I continue to need inspiration.  Just like running the half marathon took some mental inspiration, continuing to work out and eat right takes just as much, if not more.  


And here is some of my favorites from Pinterest...

Hope this doesn't offend anyone...I posted this for me. :)
