I guess you could say I am still in that “slump” where I feel..or after looking as this progress picture I should be saying felt.... like I am not making any progress. I am sticking to my meal plans, working out like I should be, and pushing myself every day to get better and better. Not only physically but mentally. I have always been so hard on myself and how I view my body, but I am still working on it. I am the most confident now than I ever have been my whole life. Not just because I feel like I look good, but because I FEEL good!
I was asked the other day how I stay motivated through this 10 week challenge, and as I was thinking about it dawned on me that a huge portion of it was that my goals are bigger than my wants at this point in life. The positive influences I have kept in my life are also a huge factor. This goes beyond close friends and family. I am talking about the people even on social media that I follow. I noticed I went through every now and then and removed the people who were “fake” to me. You know what I mean by this if you have an Instagram account too.. the girls who promote their Skinny Tea, only taking their booty pics to show their “booty gains”
–YES I just rolled my
eyes there-
or the girls who have their boobs hanging half way out of
their shirts while they workout. Sorry not sorry but that is FAKE and
unrealistic to me. I don’t want that in my life giving myself those unrealistic
expectations. I crave the real people who you know work their asses off day in
and day out to better themselves for themselves.
This was one goal I set for myself among the many, was
that I needed to space myself from all the negative energy around my life. It
hasn’t been easy because a lot of that negativity was the people I surrounded
myself with or the people trying to come into my life. Now don’t get me wrong.
I am not saying these people are bad people, so if you are a friend of mine and
I don’t talk to you nearly as much or we don’t hang out as much DO NOT FREAK
OUT! I have been busy and have been focusing on my life and my goals. You should already know
that by now. If you don’t understand that… as the old saying goes… “If the shoe
fits, feel free to lace that bitch up!”
This whole process has amazed me on the quality of people in the world, and how they will react or treat you once you are no longer benefiting to them. I have people who get irritated when I don’t text them back or am not able to drop what I am doing to accommodate them in some way. I guess in today’s world it is hard for most people to understand the world of a woman like me who works 9 to sometimes 14 hour days. Then commits her time after work to the gym for 1-2 hours almost every day. I won’t apologize to you for my schedule and how I choose to run my life haha. I won’t even apologize to you for forgetting to text or call you back or being too busy to come out with you because AGAIN… I choose this life style and this is what is making me happy and getting me where I want to be in life. If you do not understand that, sucks to suck my friend! It very well could be you are that negative energy I am spacing myself from because I do not need someone who doesn’t support my goals and dreams.

The last couple weeks I have surrounded myself by some of
the most amazing people I know! Just through ReelCamo Girl alone I have met
some amazing girls with the same goals and passions I have. So to end this rant
I have gone on now… My suggestion to you, if you want to succeed in life you
need to surround yourself by positive influences and people who are going to
have your back, will push you, and keep you focused on the end goal. Also if
you are trying to lose weight, CONSISTENCY IS KEY! Take pictures weekly in the
same lighting and take body fat measurements. DON’T ONLY GO OFF OF WEIGHT! I
know that is so hard to do, but weight is not a consistent measurement. Better
yet, go see a professional. Someone licensed and trained- especially these two-
because they will guide you down the right path to a better you.
To my friends who might be struggling, please let me know! I
am more than happy to try and help motivate you or push you to be better. Just
remember, you are only as good as your excuses let you be. We all have the same
24 hours in a day and you are the only one who gets to decide how those hours
are spent.
