By tequilakatrina, Friday, July 30, 2010, 1 commentsThis HOT as heck Texas weather is really bumming my daily AM run OUT! I am so bummed BC it is running that gets my day going and on the right track for my general well-being. So, needless to say, I have NOT been running BC I enjoy sleeping in during the summer days, and then I miss my dang window to hit the trails. My motivation is all shot to "you know what" when I miss this window so I needed to figure a way to re-motivate my buns to wake up a bit earlier and do what I need to do to stay fit and stay NOT a biotch the rest of my day!!!
I suggested yesterday to all my clients that they create a personal "reasons list" for why they should make EXERCISE a healthy daily habit and how they would BENEFIT from this new commitment. Below are just a FEW of my reasons:
- to have more energy through out my day
- to be able to fit into all my clothes...most esp. so that I do not have bathing suit OVER-FLOW ;-)
- to be able to live a long, healthy life and to enjoy time with my girlies
- to not be uncomfortable in public/at parties/on the beach
- to have more energy through out my day...yep, WORTH REPEATING!
- to avoid taking prozac
- to feel great/secure while playing/having nookie ;-)
- to keep my heart and lungs strong
- to have more muscle def. instead of "third arm wave!"
- to rid my buns of cellulite
- to impress other people..lol, but it's true
Y'all go for it too! Make a list and see if it inspires and motivates YOU to make exercise a new daily healthy habit! And also on the list, list the activities you enjoy and the activities you would like to start incorporating into your hectic schedules. I swear once you write all this down, YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN! Below is my wish list ;-)
- water board paddling (a new exercise standing on a board down on lake Austin)
- muddy buddies (a crazy race done every 3 mos in Austin in all dif't locations)
- biking creek road (need a bike)
I always suggest too that you ALL exercise first thing in the morning, every morning. Folks, if you're really serious about this exercise thing, then GET SERIOUS about it. Our bodies were made to be active on a daily basis, and when we are, all sorts of wonderful things happen. We even get healthy and fit ;-) People who exercise 6 to 7 days per week first thing in the morning are much more successful at exercising consistently than those who do the 2 or 3 day thing. It doesn't have to be a major one hour sweat friends, just get your buns to the gym, your back yard, or whatever...find 20+ minutes and "sweat baby sweat!" I am talking to myself here friends BC I am working on staying motivated and maybe I can help you too!

Can't wait for this heat to let up!
Okay, I'll make a list and see if it helps. I'm trying to eat better as well, but you know I don't want to be rude to my dear freinds Butter and Sour Cream...
