I’m so motivated!!

First, let’s roll back to Saturday. My momma & I went Goodwill shopping! I bought a big ugly sweater, a heart shaped cake pan, some drinking glasses that kind of go with my cupcake theme for my future kitchen, a melon baller thing…some other stuff, but I forgot. Anyway, our Goodwill shopping turned into “Hey let’s go to the rich area 25 miles away. So that’s what we did. & it’s beautiful. Their “downtown” area has an old timey feel. & it’s very artsy. We FINALLY went to Trader Joe’s! I didn’t even know their was one close, but there is & we went & I got all sorts of yummy things. I’m pretty excited about it. Momma even loved it & wants to go there more often. I love Trader Joe’s, but the shoppers were ALL assholes! They were like “rawwwwr, I’m better than you!!” & I just looked at them like “haha, you’re dumb”. This one girl in particular (well, older lady actually) decided she was cool in her celebrity like outfit. I was checking out their ice cream, trying to find something somewhat low in points & she literally walked right in front of me, but like sort of pushed me back with her shoulder. I walked away & over to the milk, she came up & literally stood RIGHT in front of me, so I scooted down a little to the butter & she effing came down & stood right in front of me again, so I had to get my bitch on & was like “uh, excuse me!” & she looked at me like “omg bitch, did you really just say that?!”, so I gave her a dirty look & walked off. Why do people with money think they are better as a person? They really aren’t…they just have more money that’s it. Anyway… we then went to this little frozen yogurt place. It’s like a buffet, but with frozen yogurt & toppings & stuff. Yummy! All of the yogurt is nonfat or low fat. You pick a regular bowl or waffle bowl, pick your yogurt, pick your toppings, & then they weigh it & come up with your price. I got red velvet & cake batter mixed with berries on top. Delicious. I had a great Saturday!

Now on to my getting healthy journey. As I told you all, I had gained a couple of pounds. I thought I had gotten those few pounds off that I gained, but I didn’t. Not all the way. I have a couple more to get back to where I was, but it’s not much at all. Less than 5 pounds! Well, after going to Trader Joe’s this weekend & seeing all the healthy foods, & talking with a friend, & buying a beautiful pair of shorts & a dress that both ALMOST fit…I am totally motivated. I seriously feel like I did when I very first started this journey. I’m ready to get the rest of this weight off & I know that I can do it. I feel so great about this. 
For breakfast, I had a slice of wheat toast with spray butter, Greek yogurt with honey from Trader Joe’s, & 8 ounces of orange juice. Oh & water!
I’m so excited to be motivate again. I’ve missed it. I did do okay the past couple of weeks, just not as good as I know I’m going to be doing! I know my work schedule, so I know when to fit in my exercise & what not. A friend of mine said this weekend, “Make exercise a priority” & that’s what needs to be done!
Who else has gotten their motivation back?! So excited. (:

I love you all & hope you had a great weekend.

PS: If you need help getting your motivation back, trying printing off pictures & posting them on your wall. I got cork board at Wal-Mart for like $6 & started tacking pictures up.
I also bought glass jars from Goodwill for 50 cents a piece & two bags of marbles for 99 cents a piece. For me, each marble stands for 2 pounds. I have one jar with weight lost & weight to lose. I’m sure you’ve seen people doing this lately. It really does help with motivation.
Also, talk to people. Admit if you haven’t done so great. If you’ve gained weight back, just admit it & then focus on losing it all again & keeping it off for good.
Write on sticky notes & post them on your mirrors, fridge, walls, where ever you want! Write on them things like “Make exercise a priority”, or write down your goals, tell yourself you are beautiful, capable, & you are worthy. Get your motivation back. You can do this. We all can. Let’s get to it! (:
