Motivation

Okay, so I didn't promise that I'd blog about this all the time, but I also never said I wouldn't at all either! 

Here I sit, on the couch. After downloading the "couch-to-5k" app, I have been gung ho to start running for a couple of days now. So tonight, although I have a wicked cold, I laced up my running shoes and hopped on the treadmill. I should also have mentioned that I have never ran a day in my life. Armed with my fitspiration playlist and my bottle of water, I did just what the app told me to do... A brisk walk. Hmmm! This is not so hard! But....

After about 5 minutes, a little voice chimed in through my headphones... "Let's jog!" Whoa there Nelly, one step at a time here. But I did as I was told and quickened my pace. It took about one minute for me to start feeling light headed, and as soon as the cheerful lady said "walk" again, it was off the treadmill for me.

So we're back to where we started. Back on the couch, I'm kind of feeling like I failed. Surely it can't be that hard to walk for 1.5 minutes, run for one, and so on... Can it? Only time will tell.

How do you motivate yourself to do something you've really been dreading? Any tips appreciated...

Until next time!

What Does the Fox Say?

Hey everyone!
Welcome back!

This post is going to be a bit of a different, personal one! I was talking to my friend, Kim (check out her blog here) about what I was going to write about tonight. She told me I should write about what I'm excited for in 'Septober'. So that is what I am going to do!

In Septober, I am excited to start getting healthy. I have always been a bigger individual, and I have always hated it. But not quite enough that I really did anything about it. Sure, I have done diets and joined the gym, but I have never stuck to it.

One of my favourite things to do is discover new YouTubers and watch lots of their videos. In the past couple of days, I have stumbled across the various channels of the Shaytards. If you've heard of them, you might know that Shaycarl, the daddy of the family, had a pretty awesome weight loss journey and got himself in great shape. I have to say, this really inspired me. So a few days ago I decided to start getting healthy and in shape. It's not going to be easy, or quick by any means, but I'm really excited to see what I can accomplish and to keep you all posted.

Don't worry, just as I said this was not going to become a religious blog, it's not going to be a weight loss blog either. This is just going to be one of the many lifestyle topics I mention every once in a while.

So, here I go! Well... not right at this moment. I'm currently working on three school assignments while listening to a loop of S Club 7, Luke Bryan, and the ever popular song "What Does the Fox Say".

Until next time!
