Happy Memorial Day!!
So, I'm baaaaaack! I have apparently forgotten how much I love blogging and chatting with everyone! Cannot believe its been almost 5 months since my last post! And my last post was about resolutions and wanting to post more each month lol... shame on me!
...Anyway...
I was on my way to work this morning and listening to my favorite show on XM, Wakeup With Taylor, on the Starz channel. Yes... I have become a weird talk radio person!! This show is really what makes my 1 1/2 hour commute to Columbia possible! The special that was running today was all of the interviews that they had during their month-long series called "Brain Over Body." This was to help women see that we don't need to be so hard on ourselves, and that being happy within needs to come before being you can be happy with the outside. This is something that I struggle with daily. One interview really struck me and made me think about why it is that I need to get myself healthy. She said that if you focus on your "why" for being healthy it will help to combat any temptation and guilt that may come along during the journey. I haven't ever really sat down and thought about "why" I need to be healthy. Is it for me? Am I more worried about what other people think? WHY do I want to lose weight and be healthy?
The woman that they were speaking to, Jennifer Jacobs from Biggest Loser Season 2, was explaining that, for her, it really helped to sit down and write out her "why." She was able to have everything written down and she could see why she wanted to make this lifestyle change. I need to have a "why" for myself!
So, I have decided that tonight I will sit down and challenge myself to write down my list of whys for making the decision to change my lifestyle and become a healthier and happier me. Better late than never, right?!
