Inspiration



Last night I was thinking about how I would love to lose 5-10 pounds and firm up my deflated balloon belly. That would be a dream come true. The frustrating thing about it, is that I know exactly what I could do to make that happen. I've always felt like I know about eating healthy, and Nate has really taught me how to work out effectively with weights and everything. So...
WHY CAN'T I DO IT??

That's the question most of us ask ourselves. I think the majority of us know what we could do to get into great shape, with a healthy diet and with regular exercise, but we just don't do it. Why? Are you as frustrated with yourself as I am?

Along those same lines, I have always had certain people who inspire me to want to get fit. Most recently, Jessica Biel is my inspiration. Is it just me, or does she look pretty much perfect? Is there one part of her body that is flabby or undefined? Nope! Way to be, Jessica! Way to be!

Eh... yeah... I'm not happy with my body either. But... part of me likes that--unlike Jessica Biel--I don't have to care if I don't want to.

You have to find something you like to do that way you stick with it and once it becomes a habit it's so much easier. I know easier said than done. I'm lucky that i actually like to work out. You'll feel so much better if you even do just a little bit each day. You should try some workout dvds there are so many different ones you're bound to like one.

keep in mind ashley, she gets paid to look like that, and she has personal trainer and someone making all her meals, and someone makes her clothes for her- or at least tells her what looks good on her and all that kind of stuff..on that note-i'm going to go finish my cookies :) I totally agree with you though....if I could just get off my butt once in awhile. :)

Hey, which Sarah is this? Yes, indeed, she does get paid to look great. But she works her butt off either way and I admire it.
