Hi everyone!<\/p>\n
The other day (actually, the last two weeks) were rainy and dreary. It really affected my mood and motivation. I had been working hard at eating clean and working out regularly, but \u00a0I was feeling really down on myself because I was not seeing results from it. I didn’t want to do anything all day, and most of all not work out. All day I was trying to get myself in a different frame of mind. I kept telling myself that the main reason I started running was to be more healthy than I was before. It took a long time for me to feel comfortable in my body and when I finally got to that place, that is when I was able to get in the right frame of mind to commit to workouts and eating healthy. Because I wanted to be healthy. I figured the results would follow, and fast. However, I still do not feel that is the case.<\/p>\n
I have had many health issues over the years, nothing too serious though. I do have hypo-hypothyroidism though. My thyroid is sluggish, I struggle with energy levels constantly, I gain weight easier than others my age, and it is much harder to lose weight than it is for others my age. I am on medication for the rest of my life to help my thyroid. In addition to having that, I also had to remind myself that everyone’s body is different. People gain and lose weight in different places. Where I may gain weight may not be where someone else gains most of their weight. There are a lot of different factors that go into weight loss.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To keep myself from getting upset, I decided to not weigh myself as much anymore. I would weigh myself daily and I would get down on myself. I know you should only weigh yourself maybe once a week, but it was addicting because the scale is right there in front of me. So instead of weighing myself, I decided to take my measurements every other week. I also try and pay more attention to how my clothes fit and I say to myself “Remember why you got started,” “Remember how you feel after a workout,” and “Remember how you feel when you eat healthy.”<\/p>\n

Wherever you are on your fitness journey, do not give up. It gets hard, especially when you do not see much of a change in your weight, but it is worth it. Since I changed my eating habits and added exercise into my life, it has become 10xs better. That is what you need to remember.<\/p>\n
Keep going!<\/p>\n
