Goals...

"It's not what you loose it's what you gain"- Kassi Isaac

While I was at the gym tonight I was focusing on a quote that was written on the wall. Yet I do not totally agree with the version... so I modified it! I think it's more inspiring to 'gain' something than to 'loose' something. flipping it around from feeling you have 'lost'... to you 'have more of.. or been rewarded'. When you loose weight in general and eat healthy their are many things to 'gain'... General health! ENERGY! Encouragement, Recognition, looks, motivation, respect.. and much much more!

Sharing with you a picture I found on the internet of a girl who I'm visually setting my motivation and goal towards. She's a size 14, not skinny yet toned and healthy looking... this is my goal! I hope to gain it! :)

Week 2 : Day 4

And there is more...

Its quite funny actually.. just when you think you had it as painful as it gets... you wake up in the morning and the pain has just migrated! My upper stomach muscles and thighs were really sore today!

But even thought I've only been doing this for less than a week I feel at least 120% better.... I actually feel 'Alive' I feel more excited about life in general I have even noticed an increase of brain function? (hahah) I'm a really creative person and I love coming up with new ideas/ concepts/ resolutions. It's great having the time to be with myself while I'm training and just think about all new things... getting the blood pumping to my brain has been fantastic... I'm on fire! Can't wait to share with you some fantastic ideas I've been thinking up.

Still struggling a bit with the water intake.. I think sitting down all day behind my computer working doesn't necessary create much of a thirst or mental need to drink water. But I am conscious of it all day and I try to take a mouth full of water every now and then. I bought a 1.5 litre bottle the other day which is great to keep track of the water intake.

Also just having two glass fulls of water as soon as I wake up to kick start my system.

Water: 2 Liters
Exercise: 30 min treadmill
Work out Energy Level: 6-7/10
Mood: yep still sore, feeling good with all the good food and exercise
