Ms. Blueyes' Life

It has been a crazy month full of sickness running through my household...son had the flu and acute ear infection for a week and I've been fighting through head congestion... HOWEVER , this did NOT stop me from working out just about daily, focusing on nutrition, and my gallon water intake. So here is an update... Same dress, different woman! Minus 70 lbs and counting how many inches. Left is at 348 in May 2019. Right is just now at 283. About 90 more to go ... Here is to keeping going on my goals that I would LOVE to crush THIS YEAR  #GoalsToCrush   #FitAt50   #HealhtyMama   #HealthyFamily

So it's ALREADY in February! How are things going with your health goals? How are we being consistent?  I have to admit that I have NOT been very consistent with my exercise; however, been pretty good on the nutrition. The Super Bowl of course DID NOT HELP me stay on program, but it wasn't a total loss (sorry 49ers - my team!) :( But this is a new day and a new month. If you, including myself, have "fallen off the wagon" or not been consistent with either exercise or the nutrition, we pick ourselves back up and keep going. Keep putting forth that effort. What I am being consistent on is not just nutrition, but logging in my food and exercise in my fitness journal (found a Wal-Mart for $5! ). Here are some pics/memes that I have come across that I've really taken to heart, if you will. They have encouraged me, made me laugh, and some reminded me of my reason I'm on this journey. I hope they can do the same for you. ...

How are we doing with keeping up with our goals? We are 20 days in the new year... how are we holding up? I know for me personally it's been ROUGH! !! My consistency for my workouts as been lacking, that is for sure.  Nutrition has been on very well, with minor detours, but back on track for greatness! What are the areas or area that you really struggle with to be able to reach your goals? Nutrition? Movement? Water intake? Logging? Sleep? You can always RE-START ! If you mess up on ONE meal - pick better choices on the VERY NEXT meal!! Exercise lacking? Get some stretching/yoga in before you go to bed - (I'm preachin' to myself on this one)... JUST KEEP GOING!!!

Here it is... only the 8th day into the new year, and I see all over social media that people need to stay encouraged, motivated, etc. to keep on track with their dreams! Nothing is going to happen within a week of making up your mind to do it. Sometimes, it takes a few weeks, months, and yes, even years. But if it's something that you are always wanting to accomplish, do, or go - isn't it worth the effort it takes to get there? THAT REQUIRES TIME and WORK to be put in ! It takes time to change bad or old habits and create new ones. I'm guilty of this! I want it NOW! Not in a few months or even in a year... I wanted to be skinny/healthy last decade! However, I have to keep reminding myself that it took time to put the weight on, it's going to take time to take it off. Here are hopefully some motivational sayings or memes that can help you along your journey:
