Recommitting

Remember how I made that 25 Before 25 list? The number one thing on my list was to lose weight and get in shape. In order to do that I have started working with a trainer, whom I absolutely adore. I meet with her every 2 weeks and she gives me a routine and plan for the follow 2 weeks. She has been kicking my butt let me tell you! Recently though, I have hit a rut where working out is hard for me. I go by myself a lot since mine and Alan's work schedules don't match and I just feel lonely at the gym haha. BUT. I came to the realization that if I am going to do this, I can't do it for anyone else but me. I used the have the mentality that I would get a bikini bod for Al but then I remember that he loves and married me for me- even without being super skinny. With that in mind I realized that I need to do this for me because it is something I want for myself. I have recommitted to this endeavor with a better game plan and 2 key things: Good playlists and incentives for myself. 

I have always loved making mixes and am hooked on my "Workin On My Fitness" playlist I made a few days ago. Here are some of the tracks that play while I am at the gym:

As far as incentives go- I have decided to break it down into 5 lb increments until I reach my goal weight. Here are just a few of the things that I have set up for myself for every milestone I hit:

// Shellac Manicure // Sonia Kashuk eyeshadow //

// Colored Wooden Bowls // Ban.Do Bobbi Pins //   

// Ray Bans // Chunky Bracelet Set // 

// Monogram Necklace // Best Day Ever bag //  

The final prize to myself is new photos of Al & me. I am excited to put my new found dedication to getting fit into play and would love to hear your thoughts on what motivates you and how you stay fit and healthy!
