If you can BELIEVE it you CAN do it :)

Many of us give up our "new years resolution" within the first month. Don't make resolutions such as I want to lose 10 lbs or I want to cut out soft drinks. Make a new lifestyle. You can do this ladies :) it takes 4 weeks to begin to see change. We easily want to stop if we don't see a pound of the scale or can't finish your first mile within that first week. Do not give up..

Working out and running is totally a mind game when it comes to giving up. I finally got over my mind game with running. When I began training for this marathon I could not even run 3 miles due to the games playing in my head. The past week I ran 10 miles without stopping. I promise there were many times when my legs were sore, but it goes away. I continuously tell myself, "Kayla you aren't dying, hurt, or vomiting keep running". I want each of you to fight through each run or work out. I promise you will be so proud of yourself when you fought through the burn. I remember someone telling me when you hurt it's your fat crying for help. Work hard. Set goals for each week. It is easier to keep short goals than long. For those of you who want to begin running their are training plans for every kind of race. If you normally don't run try the couch to 5K challenge. It's a weekly running plan to get you to the point to run 3.1 miles! I promise once you accomplish that you will want to continue to increase your mileage.
Other way to encourage to meet your goal is to have a workout partner or running partner; this helps with amazing accountability. Other ways to encourage a goal is to sign up for a race. This way you have to start training so you can finish a race.
Ladies lets start living a healthy lifestyle. Encourage each other to stay active and eat healthy. If you don't give up you will be able to have that body you wanted or reach the mileage you want to. If you stop you are going to get to summer and say why did I give up! Surround yourself with healthy habits. Don't go down the candle aisle at the grocery store or the brownie aisle at that. Remember that feeling of how bad you want to be on the best shape of your life!
