Motivation & Determination

This past week has been very tough for me. My personal life is consumed with high stress levels and anxiety that has lead me to some bad food decisions and a negative "I don't care" attitude. Probably more so this week than any week in the last 4 months. Yesterday I sat on the couch and watched tv most of the day. I was being lazy and just sat there craving ice cream, I literally contemplated for about 20 minutes whether or not I should get up and eat some. Finally I started to go through my phone and pictures and saw a quote that someone posted that really made me think. "Motivation keeps you moving, Determination keeps you going". I realized that this past week is making me back track, if I continue with this attitude all the progress I've made is out the door. I jumped up grabbed a peach and ate that instead of ice cream. As I ate my peach I started to write down my July goals and mapped out my food prep for the week. Life can get really busy and there are a lot of bumps in the road but you have to keep going. I need to stay focused. I'm not willing to throw it away just yet.

Here are my goals for the month of July. I know it's July 8th but it's not too late and it's a new day and a fresh week. 

July 2013 Goals

July Goals
- Try new foods (going to google new recipes to try)
- Pull-ups 2-3 (need to work on this....major weakness of mine)
- Leg day 2x a week (legs & booty need some work)
- Juice 1x a week (I loved doing this and have stopped going to pick it up again)
- Carb Cycling 
- Lose 1 lb (I'm not really concerned with the scale that much anymore)
