Truth Tuesday!

When I first started this blog and this journey that I"m on, I had decided that Tuesdays would be more dedicated to Transformations.  How I have transformed, how friends have transformed, random stranger I've met, etc.  But today, I think I need to work on Truth Tuesday. 

There have been so many times that I've decided that I'm going to work on improving my fitness and more often, my nutrition.  You see, I'm pretty good at being consistent with working out.  It's the food that goes in my mouth that is NOT consistent.  I love food.  I love sweets.  I love salty, crunchy things.  So, when I say that I'm going to make a change, it lasts for about a week and then something happens and I get stressed, or annoyed, or just bored and decide to grab something that just isn't good for my body.  The 21 day fix is such an awesome program.  I did great with eating for the one week, and then honestly, I was frustrated that I hadn't really lost anything during that week.  So, instead of sticking with it and seeing it through ALL of the 21 days, I quit.  That's right, I quit.  Why?  Why would I think that quitting gets me closer to my goal?  It doesn't.  Plain and simple! 

That's why, I'm writing this post.  For once, I want to be accountable to not only myself, but also to those who rely on me to hep them with their fitness.  So far, I'm two days in to following the 21 day fix nutrition.  I've been consistent with my TurboFire workouts (which I LOVE).  It's going well so far.  I'm just waiting for that moment when I get too stressed, or annoyed, or whatever.  This time though, I don't want to just give up and grab that chocolate, or chips.  I want to fight through and know that I'm doing this to better myself.  God gave me this body and I need to take care of it.  Not only for myself, but for my family too. 

So I'm asking you, hold me accountable.  When you see me, ask me how I'm doing.  I want to be held accountable.  I want to live my life in truth and really follow what I encourage other people to do.  Together, we can do this.
