Z's Fitnezz Quest: October 2012

Reason # 1

I will be a positive health and fitness role model for my family.

I confess I have not kept up with this blog. I want to assure my 5 followers that they have not missed much. I once again am fighting with weight. I feel like I let everyone including my family and my self down. I am back to my starting weight. I know what I need to do and I am doing it. When I was losing the most I was blogging and keeping close track of what was going into my mouth. I also want you to know that I write this blog for me but if anything helps you please feel free to use it in you quest to a healthier you.

Sometimes we get to involved and get lost on the way to our destination. We take a wrong turn and have to backtrack. This is where I am starting at the beginning. I have gotten discouraged and let food take over my life again.

So, after sliding back down the mountain how does one get back up to the top. The answer is one step at a time. You have to do the work. When you look at your favorite role models what do you see that impresses you. For example mine, is Chalene Johnson, Creator of Turbo kick, Turbo Fire, Piyo Strength, Hip Hop Hustle, author of the best selling book Push many more. What impresses me is she has done all of this and become successful but has not had to sacrifice time with her family to get there. I want to be this type of role model for my children.

The first thing I need to do is to start by taking care of me. I have to love who I am to do this I have to get over what other people think. Here are some things about me that I think are funny some people might laugh at me about. For example I love all kinds of movies form Disney Channel Movies to Horror movies. I love all kinds of books also and I think it is rude for anyone to dis a popular book just because they think it is beneath them. If there is a book out there that gets millions of people reading what is wrong with that? I love to dance everywhere and with anyone. If you wanna dance call me up I am game. I love food. If I didn't I wouldn't be here. I love cars, my favorite part of the day is when my hubby wakes up so we can watch car shows together. Who here is a Fast and Loud fan? I think an awesome date is to go to a car show. I like to get dirty. Mud doesn't scare me and I think that there is good in everyone. I am not going to bore you with more about me, my point if there is one is that you can let other people who think that girls shouldn't like cars, or Disney movies are stupid get you down. You love what you love for a reason. Embrace it and love your self. That is when you will start being a positive role model for your family.

Second, I have to commit. I can not let things get in the way. I have to commit to me. I can not accept excuses, this how I got here. I have to take responsibility for it and deal with it. I am tired of being scared, that is not me. I am bold and direct and optimistic. I am not one to shrink in the corner.
