Feeling Accomplished!
Today I accomplished 1 hour on the treadmill! GO me!! That is a personal best. Even when I was training for the State Police, I never spent an hour on the treadmill. Maybe 30 or 40 minutes but never an hour! Granted, most of the time was walking at a 6.0 incline but I'm still moving my body!
With that said, accomplishment is something that is important and everyone's got to feel some sort of way when they achieve a personal record, goal, or task. Think about what makes you feel accomplished? Crossing off all the bills at the end of the month as paid? Your child getting all A's? Losing that nagging 10 lbs that's been hanging around since college? Getting a promotion? I'll share some things that make me feel accomplished:
Weight loss
Paying off a bill
Getting house work done (even though it just cycles back around)
Putting the laundry away
My family enjoying something that I have cooked
Finding a new recipe that is in line with my changed life style
And keeping with my progression theme here... I decided to try losing weight. I am just like everyone else that has wanted to start something but gave up because I thought I couldn't do it. The truth is, you CAN do it. Anyone can. I am living proof that anyone who has the desire can do it. Losing weight ultimately starts with the fire inside yourself to want to be healthier. The next step is in the kitchen. I found that I was eating and drinking so much CRAP that my body didn't need. I would buy icecream just to satisfy my sweet tooth but it was only calories that didn't do anything for me. To satisfy my sweet tooth, I drink Shakeology! Shakeology feels like you're cheating but you're really not! I have it with a cup of coffee and ice. Boom! Mix that baby up in the Ninja and I have the same tasting thing I'd get from McDonald's or Starbucks! Who needs that $5 coffee when I have a shake that comes out to be about $4 and loaded with everything my body needs to get off on the right foot.
So that's what I've got for right now. Think about what makes you feel accomplished! Go out there and get it!
