Nicole's Healthy Life

[nicolegetshealthy]

So I haven't really been doing anything healthy lately. But this weekend I finished my first half marathon since 2011. Only four minutes slower than my personal best, with an additional 50 pounds on my body. It showed me that even in this state, my body is a wonderful thing. And it made me wonder just what I could do if I actually put in the effort. So I'm pretty happy :)

“I like clothes now. I have more energy. I sleep better. My sex drive is up. Blood’s flowing. I’m less susceptible to impulse. I’m in a different mode. When I was way out of shape, the idea of using whitening strips on my teeth seemed terrible. I have to do that every day? I’ll never do it. What you want is instant results when you’re out of shape. You want your teeth whitened in 45 minutes with the use of lasers. But when you’re in shape, you know it’s the result of doing a little bit every day. Moments aren’t just moments. A moment might be a week or a month. So instead of Boy, I’d love to eat this hamburger right now, I’m considering a little further into the future. I’m thinking, I eat that hamburger and that’s 1,200 calories, and I’m gonna work out tomorrow and lose 800 calories. I may as well eat a salad here, still do that workout, and then I’m actually making progress.” — Chris Pratt

This just motivated the fuck out of me.

Hey Nicole! I just saw your post about doing weight watchers and your first meeting, does it really help? Because I think I could use some help too, but do you have to pay for these meetings? Because I don't think I have the money for it. And 2,8 pounds in one week is definitely great imo ;)

I think it helps. The idea of someone seeing how much I weigh and how much weight I've lost in a week motivates me. For example, I had a pretty bad week last week, but I made sure to get it together yesterday because I knew someone would be looking at my weight. That's really the biggest part for me.It does cost money, and it's not cheap. I think it's usually $40 a month, with access to all their online tools, or something like $11 a week if you pay weekly. I bought three months when they were having a half off sale, so I figured I'd stick it out for three months to help me get started again and then see where it goes from there.
