Okay, here is something that hopefully will inspire and encourage some of you. This is not to shame you guys or to make you feel bad about yourself. With the cold season being here, it is hard to get motivated because all we want to do is hibernate and eat. Yum! But, we gotta keep on moving and stay healthy and strong. It is not about being skinny so we can look like a bikini model, but it is about our health. I admit I have some bad days and some good days when it comes to workout. Just three days ago I didn't want to workout and I didn't. I stayed home instead and baked with my kids. And that is okay, because sometimes our body needs a break. But be sure to get back to your workout routine and keep on moving. You don't really need to do what I do, but just keep on sweating and moving. It is good for our body, heart and soul. The video consists some of the exercises I do while at the gym. By all means, I am no expert, but I learned a few things that works for me. Stay Healthy!
(Geez! I need new workout clothes and something in fun and bright colors this time.)
There are days I feel light and sexy, but there are some days I feel heavy, awful, and bloated. Oh, my body. You are something!
Do you want to know what is one of my secrets to getting through a workout? SMILE. I know! You must be thinking right now, "What on earth are you talking about?". I am working my butt off, about to pass out and you want me to Smile? Well for me, when you smile, you are happy. And why you are happy, you have more energy. You have a better attitude towards your workout and you are more likely to do it. Be happy and be proud of the work that you have done. There is no point in working out and you are not happy about it. Be Happy. Enjoy Your Time. And don't forget to Smile. You'll be glad you did. Have a great one!
You're motivating me....to smile at least. You sure look good. Can not tell that you are a mother of two.
ReplyDeletehahaha.. that's a good one! Well, glad I made you smile today, sis Covina. When we got back from the vacation, I feel heavy and huge. waaaaaaaa.... but that is okay. It was a great vacation. :)
DeleteYou are one of my inspirations when it comes to keeping fit and active Mommy Adin. You look great! You started going to the gym na pala.
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic. I workout every single day. I like to eat, though, and if I don't workout, I gain weight.
ReplyDeleteOnce i am off this diet, i need to get back into the gym.. the diet i am on will not allow me to get back yet.
ReplyDeleteWow I wish I had your enthusiasm!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! You're right, we need to keep the momentum going even during the winter months!
ReplyDeleteI stopped working out in May and still haven't started back up. I just can't seem to find the time!
ReplyDeleteAll I need is the motivation to do a workout...once I get going...there's no stopping me, and it feels so good afterwards. The wintertime is the worst for me because I love outdoor workouts. I wish I could go to a gym in the wintertime to have access to a wide range of equipment, but I don't like working out in front of strangers.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Way to sweat! =-) Thanks for the motivation.
ReplyDeleteI always love to work out in winter too - it really does keep your mood up in those dark, cold winter months. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteSmiling does a everybody good.. even during a work out!
ReplyDeleteGood ideas!
ReplyDeleteI can usually miss one day and be ok, but if I miss a few it can throw me out of my routine.
ReplyDeleteEverday I say I want to workout - and then - well, lol...... I need someone to inspire me and this helps!
ReplyDeleteI know for me I am motivated by buy some new piece of clothing and how it will fit and feel...lol. I think half the time during my workout I want to to cry...lol
ReplyDeleteMaking yourself smile is definitely a good mood booster! Whenever I'm feeling down I try to smile and it usually helps my mood.
ReplyDeleteWow, nice to know a blogger from the Philippines. I'm a Filipina blogger and I'm amazed with the mommy bloggers here that's I why I make sure to join the comment threads. Nice to virtually meet you Adin.
