Motivation, goal, dedication

To becoming successful to losing weight, or accomplishing any goal. Set a goal for yourself, find motivation you can tie to it. Whether Idols or public speakers, quotes, pictures. When I decided I wanted my goal to be becoming a fitness model, I researched how realistic my goal could be. I found many idols that bring different scenarios. Some were just over weight that changed their lives and lost the weight and became fitness models. Others had medical problems that motivated them to become fit. One of my all time favorites is a mother of 5 that is a fitness model. That inspires me. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sarah-Camryn/175216092539597 The same goal I have, and seeing that my goal is very much realistic and can be accomplished. It's the same for anyone; pianists look up to Mozart or Beethoven,  painters look up to Michelangelo, singers to their favorite artist... so on and so forth. You're dreams are never too far out of your reach, it just depends on how hard you are willing to work to getting there. I don't only workout and eat healthy for my goal, but for my health. I want to be able to experience everything my life has to offer.
I'd say the steps to motivating yourself would be 1. Set a goal, a realistic one even if it seems small. 2. Find inspiration, and Idol something you can look up to to remind you that your goal is possible. 3. Surround yourself in positivity, friends and family that believe in you but if not you don't need anyone but yourself.
4. Find the tools or path you need to follow to make your dreams come true. 5. Consistency, Every day and every hour think over what you could do to improve your ways of life to get you closer to your goal. 6. Believe in yourself, know that you are good enough and that you deserve to have your dreams come true.
At the end of the day no one can do it for you, You have to get yourself there.   I'm a completely different person than I was a year and half ago, And I couldn't be happier.

Introduction & Background

So I decided to start a blog. Mostly because I get asked a lot of questions about my makeup techniques, How I'm a mother of 2 that lost so much weight and just because I've gotten really into fitness and want to be an inspiration to people.
I'll start with my background. I had my oldest at 16, I walked daily so my body bounced back. When I had my youngest son though, I didn't work or exercise or even leave the house really. I gained SO much weight with my last pregnancy. I was 165lbs and stayed that way up until my son was 1 1/2, then I thought to myself I have got to change. I slowly started losing weight for doing workouts off of youtube, and then in Oct. 2011 I finally found a job working as a lunch lady. That job showed me how out of shape I was. I only lost about 10lbs over a 5 month period. The summer of 2012 I started running and doing circuit training with a friend. I lost about 25lbs total by the end of the summer. Before I went back to work I went to have a physical and I ended up finding out I had Hypothyroidism (Underactive) finally it made sense to why I gained so much weight and why it was so hard for me to lose. I knew I probably didn't have a metabolism from not being active through my pregnancy and obviously not caring about my diet. So slowly with medication and hard work, cleaning eating and dedication I've lost a total of 37 lbs. I have a new outlook on life and my body. I have a dream of being a fitness model. I've always wanted to model but then I thought to myself any skinny girl with a flat stomach can model. I want to model something I worked hard for. I want my kids to see that I work hard to be healthy and fit. The saddest thing I hear is when Mom's say "I've had kids my body is ruined." And they settle with an unhealthy body that holds so much more potential. You have to look at it like, This is the only life and body I've been given why not make the most of it. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Turn your can'ts into cans and your dreams into plans.  Find what motivates you, give yourself a goal and go after it wholeheartedly.
