Hello lovelies!
I can't believe that it has actually been 1 month since I started Insanity, because it feels like forever - then again it feels as such a short period of time and right now I truly regret that I didn't push myself even further. However, I know I shouldn't be so hard with myself because for a person who never ever ever did sports before Insanity, I'm pretty damn proud that I even took the challenge! I must have been insane, haha. The first month was maybe not even such a challenge physically, it was more of a mental one. I really struggled with myself trying to find motivation, the willpower to change my lifestyle, to start taking care of myself. It seems so weird, but it's not easy to flip those 19 years upside down and start living in a totally different way! I'm such a sucker for being lazy, staying in bed, eating cookies, candy and chocolate and doing nothing. I did that for 19 years and it's a miracle that now I'm still size 10, not like size ... 30 or something. My grandparents weren't really helping me with all of that because every time I visit them now they just take all those cakes and pastries out and try to stuff me like a Thanksgiving Turkey! I visited them this weekend too, I had even 2 workouts during that time and oh how difficult that was. Next time when I visit them, I'll be sure to stay even healthier and not to pay attention to their tries feeding me like I'm a sugar-girl.
As finding motivation has always been my biggest struggle, I am trying now to find different ways to do it and be more successful in my workouts! Today, I realized a little thing. There are way more reasons to DO workout, than not to. I don't want to be on that lazy side, because it's just childish. It's immature and only destroys my health, my well-being, my mental stand and my confidence. Who would like that?
Now whenever I want to quit doing the workout, when I feel like I just want to stay in bed and do nothing, when I feel like I have no motivation to work my ass off - I look at these pictures. The big question is: Do you want to look good and feel good or do you want to look like a potato? I have decided that the last one is not something I want to be. I want to be all of those things that represent reasons to do workout & therefore I will keep on pushing and getting only better with the workout!
Another great source of inspiration, is my Fitness Tumblr (or call it Fitblr) that I created when I started Insanity. I find so many great tips for eating, exercising, motivating myself, pushing myself further and every time I look at the blog, I feel the rush of inspiration flowing in me. Every time looking at it I just want to go out running or doing something good for myself! I want to share some pieces of my inspiration with you too :)
Don't allow yourself to wake up with yesterday's issues troubling your mind. Refuse to live backwards, see every day as a new chapter.
You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.
Whether you think you can or you can't, you are right.
The only bad workout is the one that didn't happen.
Believe you can and you are halfway there.
I hope you are all having amazing week and April will bring only the best for you! Take care <3
