A mini train of thought....
Yes, sometimes my body does hurt from working out. Sometimes I do feel like I am so physically exhausted from working out as WELL as doing all of my daily chores, errands, activities, work, social life, boyfriend, etc. This intangible drive exists inside and makes me realize it is all worth it.
Yes, there is some sacrifice to working out and having the REAL results you want: tone legs, flat abs and sculpted arms. I was talking to my friend Sarah on facebook late at night and I was just telling her how I genuinely do not feel like I missing out on a "normal" 21 year old lifestyle, whatever that may be. I feel excited to workout, I feel excited to go to bed sober and wake up without a hangover and work out all over again the next day. Maybe it is because I grew up in a small town and partied a lot when I was younger, maybe it was the fact that I grew up in an active household, maybe it was the fact that I had great fitness mentors growing up. maybe it was all 3.
I get excited to workout and make good meals. I have convinced/transformed myself into this person by choice. I feel fully focused when I am at the gym and I totally know what I am there for and I get excited.
"I always wonder if the people who aren't working out, are going to have a stroke before me."
-Sarah Boyle
If you know sarah, that is suchhhhhhhhhhhh a Sarah Boyle quote, but it is true. Why sit around and wait for your body to start shutting down when you can prolong and prevent it with a healthy lifestyle. What is so fascinating about drive thru's and fried food, etc.? I think it is more the idea that drives people nuts for it.... I am sure I could find someone who is genuinely satisfied after scarfing down a greasy burger and fries... but why?
I feel like being able to be in control of my health and fitness and seeing results gives me confidence in my success rate in other things through out my life. I know that with hard work comes great results, in any and every aspect of life.
School, work, relationships, family issues, etc.
Motivation. Determination. Excitation.
Try changing your attitude into a positive one, give yourself some freakin' credit!
This summer, I think I will be in one of the best shapes of my life. Not only on the outward appearance, but also inside as well. I have been eating so healthy and as many whole/organic foods as I can. I, for once in my life, am looking forward to getting into a swimsuit this year and frolicking around the beach and the sand. I am thankful that I have the physical ability to work out every day, walk to to the store, walk up/downstairs 20 times to do my laundry, and hike the hugeeee hike up campus at CSULB.
Really start challenging yourself. NOW is the time!!! Do more sets, reps, cardio, etc etc. DO MORE NOT LESS! I want everyone to have the BEST body they can for summer.!!!!

Mmmm.. Oatmeal!
Yesterday at Ralph's I found 50% less sugar Oatmeal by Quaker.
Maple and Brown Sugar is my absolute favorite, so that's what I got!!
I took one packet and put it into a bowl.
Add 2/3 cup of fat free milk
Cook in the microwave until desired consistency is reached
(I do 2 min, stir, 30 sec)
After the oatmeal is cooked to your liking
Then I added a handful of fresh, clean blueberries as well as a few dashes of
Cinnamon...
**Note: Cinnamon helps speed up your metabolism (THANK YOU HILDA FOR THE INFO)**
Hope you enjoy!!! mmmmm

Very Wholesome EASY Dinner!
One of my secret weapons that I LOVE is frozen chicken from Trader Joes. I buy the bag of it and keep it in the freezer, it lasts for a really long time! LOVE THAT! So what I did here was I defrosted 2 frozen chicken breast pieces and marinated them for about 40 minutes in Newmans Own Light Balsamic Vinegarette. I cooked the chicken on a skillet w. a lil bit of olive oil until it was completely cooked to my liking.
I made a salad w. mixed greens, baby spinach, fat-free feta, cucumbers and yellow bell peppers.
I also made some brown rice! Which is really really good for you as well.
REACH FOR THESE TYPES OF BALANCED MEALS FOR DINNER!! mmmmmmmmmm soo yummy!
