My Story: Getting Into the Fit Mentality
One thing I really struggled with when I made the decision to lead a fit and active life was maintaining relationships with people who were used to the old me—the carefree girl who preferred spontaneity and partying to routines and workouts. What they didn’t understand was that my decision impacted all aspects of my life, not just the time I spent at the gym. And to accomplish the goals I set for myself, I needed a change in mind, not just a change in body.
You absolutely need to surround yourself with positive influences and keep an upbeat, can-do attitude to achieve your goals. Chances are, friends and family may not be the most supportive-tempting you with familiar foods or activities that are not a part of your new lifestyle, making fun of the time you spend on working out, or not supporting you in your new decisions. But there is a reason they are part of your life, and you are part of theirs. So by being patient and keeping the lines of communication open, you can save your relationships and keep making progress in your quest to be fit.
Make it a Salad Summer
Summer is a terrific time to take advantage of lots of nutritious foods that are in season. To truly make the most of this opportunity and maximize health benefits, consider packing (or carefully purchasing) a salad for lunch! A salad every day may sound boring, but you can jazz it up with fresh fruit, vegetables, and small amounts of nuts to make a flavorful treat. Salads are also an excellent way to introduce new foods or foods you may not want to eat on their own, such as spinach or kale.

Where do you fit in FITNESS?
Yesterday, I saw someone who hasn't seen me in about 3 years. Number
one, she came right up to me and starting talking to me, and she did
not recognize me at all. Number two, when she realized it WAS me, she
nearly fell over. I seem to have that sort of reaction from people a
lot these days. She made me turn around and around and kept saying how
she couldn't believe it was me. After the initial shock is over, people
always ask the same thing. How do you stay motivated?

Back at it again...
After a month of not caring what I eat, (I ate clean for the most part) I am back at it again and going for an attempt to get on stage yet again. Disappointed by not being able to compete at the last one, I have found an organization that will let me while taking the thyroid meds.
Just over 3 months and I am going to do it this time. I hope everyone else is keeping up with the training, and eating clean so those results will keep heading your way.
Go Team Mo.
::Why are we our own worst critics?::
::Hello Team Mo. Hope you all are doing ok. I've been M.I.A for awhile. As I continue to work on my fitness I still wonder why I'm not all that happy with what I see when I look in the mirror. Even when people tell me that I have a "gym formed body" and compliment me, I don't really see what they see. I'm sure we all have this problem, atleast I think we all do. So why are we so hard on ourselves??::
P.S. Happy Sunday!
