Keeping it Real

This blog is a collection of my thoughts in no particular order. I vow to always keep it real....can you say the same?

Let's Get Physical

Recently my sister decided to be a Team BeachBody Coach, and has elected yours truly to enroll and begin a fitness regime. I am such the procrastinator. I should be 100% motivated right? I should be gung ho to start building a new and better me right?....but what do you do when the old you has a firm grasp on your mentality? How many of you are sitting here reading this thinking that you would like to make a change in your appearance? but then you counteract that thought with "People should just accept me for who I am not what I look like?" Ok, that's true, but honestly, you are going to be viewed on the outside as well as the inside it is just a part of life and sometimes life sucks...now I am not saying you should care about what people think of you...by all means I am NOT saying that. What I am saying is that YOU should not only be HAPPY you should be HEALTHY....you and I both know that being Obese is not anything to be happy about no matter how much you try and convince yourself...it's just not and YES I said OBESE...meaning you are just carrying an unhealthy amount of weight on your frame.

It is time to remove the Old Self....the one that tells you "Oh well you can have this doughnut/twinkie/cookie/fried chicken/BigMac/Whopper/etc. today and start that diet tomorrow" LOL..you know you do it...hell I am NOTORIOUS for thinking this way...and then tomorrow comes and I think oh well what's one more day? The hardest part is going to be getting rid of that person or at least silencing her long enough to get some things accomplished.

The next hardest thing for me to do....the DREADED EXERCISE....I hate it with a passion...probably because I am just straight lazy...yep...lol..I will admit it...I will "Keep it Real" I find nothing fun about running laps.....however these videos that Team Beach Body sales look interesting...especially Hip Hop Abs. So I think I will take a dive and shake off the "Fat Girl Mentality" and take a step towards a slimmer HEALTHIER me. I have two children that expect me to be around for a while...I best not let them down.

So now I am thinking to myself...I NEED to do this...I SHOULD do this...I WILL do this...but I need some support...My sisters and I are launching a little competition called "Weigh To Go" and I am fashioning myself as the underdog because I have a longer journey to my goal than they do. So I need some help up in here! If you are interested in joining TEAM ERICKA on the journey to a HEALTHIER YOU.....please hit me up and together we can get it Tight and Right. I can also send you the link to my sis's FB page so you can sign up and get it poppin! I have a birthday coming up soon...and a certain little outfit that I want to wear.....so let the games begin!!!
