Keep on keeping on.

I'm all for thinking positive and being as positive as possible regardless of what is going on in your life, so I was reading a blog and stumble over some great information from Helen Keller and I want to share a piece of it with you. When you think of what she was able to accomplish being blind in the 1800's it has to inspire you to do more with your day and to make a true effort to reach some of your goals. So many times I hear people say that eating a certain way or doing a exercise routine didn't work for them but in most cases it seems that the person didn't reach the goal because they didn't stick with it. So if you need a little encouragement to keep pushing toward your goals when things get tough try thinking of Helen Keller. This is an exert that I really like, if you would like to read the entire article go to http://www.positivityblog.com:

Keep on keeping on.

“We can do anything we want to do if we stick to it long enough.”

Now, doing amazing things will probably not happen over a weekend. One big reason that people don’t get what they want may just be that they give up too soon. Perhaps because of a magic pill mentality where their expectations about success are stuck within a too small time-frame.

To get the results you have stick with it. You have to persist. Not all people do. So the longer you persist the thinner the playing field can become. But how can you persist?

Three suggestions:

  • Find what you really, really want to do. This will give you the sustained inner motivation to keep going.
  • List the reasons why to keep going. It’s easy to forget about all the good things that can come out of keeping on going. So you need to remind yourself. Write down all the reasons why you are doing what you are doing and review that piece of paper regularly.
  • Shape your own little world. Choose what you let into your mind. Choose the books, music, movies and people that will inspire and support you. Minimize the negative influences from media, various websites and naysayers. Don’t let other people and influences pull you down and back to where you started.

I hope you are inspired to make some changes in your fitness and eating goals in necessary.

Tip of the day: Fruit is cleansing make it your habit to start your day with a piece of sweet fruit. It will help you push waste through your system faster and give you a little boost. If you are a coffee drinker try it before your coffee it will give you a more sustainable boost!

Have a great day

Sunday Morning's and Green Smoothie

I love Sunday morning, it is great to have a slow morning. I didn't feel like a hard workout this morning so I went for a short jog/walk for 30 minutes and then 15 rebounder session. I picked the flowering weeds on my walk and they made a nice addition to my window. Finding ways to bring simple pleasures to your day is key in this crazy world. Physical exercise and a cleansing drink helps the body get ready for what ever is coming next. Have a great day!!
