It’s going well..

So far this week the only agreements I have broken is eating in my car and at my desk. This came out of necessity and tried to be super present to when I had eaten enough. I feel good. Proud of myself for keeping my word. I still have three lots of exercising to do this week. Thank goodness it is only Wednesday. I feel a last minute dash on Sunday coming on, don’t you. But I know I will get there. Even after two 1am nights in a row. A massive change in my workplace and missing my hubby to bits. I feel empowered.
Speaking of empowered… Seriously, don’t you love this Nike Women ad. Great bum, great legs, great ad. I am finding myself more and more looking towards fit healthy role models. Real women with bodies that thrive. And what a nice place to be. I think I had it for a long time that the only way I could lose weight was to do it in an unhealthy way. As I have in the past. And I saw this week, that that just wasn’t true at all.  
It’s nice to be observing these little thoughts and opinions I have in my head around health, fitness and weight. My little voice tells me I can’t do it, that it is hard, that I will never, ever get there. It says that others are obviously smarter or better than me because they can maintain their weight on their own. It tells me I’m a loser. Sometimes I wonder why I listen to it. If someone that was real said these things to me, I’d kick them in the shins and not speak to them again. Why do we, as human beings, do this to ourselves? The negative self talk. 
What do you say to yourself that isn’t helpful when getting fit and staying fit. Is your voice a meanie too? Or have you reined it in?

  1. My 'silent voice' is a big meanie to, it teamed up with a mirror make a horrible pair. I find if I stay clear of the second mentioned then the voice is not so loud… well if I stay clear of that and the three pairs of jeans hiding in my closet that I get out every now and again to see if I can squeeze my bum into them.

  2. Your little voice needs to be told to shut the heck up. I like that ad, from purely a professional standpoint of course.

  3. Great ad! The only down side for me (no pun intended) is that the beautiful model appears to be Latino. I have absolutely NOTHING against Latino women, but they seem to be the only ones allowed to have big butts!

  4. Tell that voice to fuck off bitch. Seriously. I have had it with her and her silly whine of a voice. She bugs the shit out of me too. Just tell her to bugger off, get out of your head and stay out. Or at the very least, argue with her, argue with her so passionatly that she just gives up.And remember, when all else fails, your actions will always speak lounder than her words…….xx
