Inspiration

Sometimes its hard to find motivation to work out and eat healthy. Its so much easier to stop by Taco Bell and get food for $1.00. It doesn't take any planning or any effort. You just sit in your car and let somebody give you "food". But like everything else in life, easy doesn't always make it worth it. I am in a constant endless cycle of eating good, working out and then something happens and I have to start from scratch again. I guess the fact that I keep starting over means I am never giving up right?
There are lots of reasons why I keep chugging along in this journey. First of all lets just put this out there. Its pure vanity! I would love to walk into any store and find clothes that are cute and don't cost extra because of my size. I would love to be called the hot chick instead of the hot chick's best friend. If you don't think you are in this for the way you want to look, you are crazy. Even if you are skinny, you work out and eat right because you don't want to get fat. Its not a sin to admit it. It is what it is
Second I want to be healthy. I have been lucky and have not had any major health issues. But lets be honest I am not getting any younger and I would still like to have children. I have admitted to myself that If that does happen for me I will be an "older mom" but I can get my body healthy and looking good and be the "hot older mom" right?
Lastly I would like to say I live life to the fullest and I think I am mostly happy. But there are things I don't do because of my size. The water park my nephew wanted to go to this summer was off after I talked him out of it. Water parks are not my thing, but would they be my thing if I felt and looked better?
Anyway the long rant of this whole thing is to get inspired in the month of September.
Shay Carl who is a youtuber actually from Idaho (living in California) lost over 100lbs. He is such an inspiration for me because he lets you know that he understands how you feel and that there is a way out if you just stick to it. So for the month of September he created this "Shaytember" Challenge,30 days to a better life. If its health, if its educational or personal, it doesnt matter. Its about changing your life in 30 days.
