Going Through the Motions

If you follow my Instagram you saw that yesterday was a hard day for me to get my workout done. It was really cold that morning and getting out of my nice warm bed and jammies was not something that I wanted to do.


Lucky for me I made a BBM VIP friend that is an hour ahead of my timezone. She had already messaged me so I finally turned off my alarm after 5 times got up and turned on the light and hopped right back in bed. I started chatting with my friend and telling her how much I didn't want to be get up and do my workout. What does a workout buddy do but encourage you to just get it done right?

So I grabbed all my clothes from the comfort of my bed, thank you tiny house, and got almost all the way dressed to workout without stepping foot on the cold floor. I took it one step at a time just thinking about what the next step was to get to my goal. Not the end result because I wanted to do anything but workout.

Step 1: Get dressed
Step 2: Get shoes on
Step 3: Turn on YouTube
Step 4: Fill my water
Step 5: Get my BBM workbook out

You get the point.

So finally my workout was done and you know what I felt so much better. I was glad that I got it done. Then I got to enjoy a shower before the kids got up so we could get ready for the day.


Sometimes when you're making new habits you have to just take one small step at a time even when you don't feel like it. You know that each step will get you one step closer to the end result you are working so hard for so take that first small step no matter what that might be and reach your goals!

Thank A Farmer

Do you ever stay at home and avoid going out on cold days? I still do this but I was much more successful at it before we moved to our farm. Currently our farm isn't much. We have about 30 chickens and 2 pigs and 3 dogs. But every morning and evening I have to go out no matter the weather and feed and check on our animals. If you have paid attention to the weather here in the south we are getting some nasty cold weather. Here in Oklahoma we have avoided that ice that Texas is getting but it's still been close to zero degrees when I've had to be outside.  For my farm it only takes me about 10 minutes to quickly feed and water the animals as long as they don't need any special attention. But this week we happen to be 'farm sitting'. So after I take care of our animals I have to drive to our friends farm and take care of their livestock. They have many more animals and many more chores.  Yesterday I dressed warm even though it was below zero when you...

Why does this always happen?

Last week Briana with Bikini Body Mommy was hosting her last surge before Christmas and I was excited and fully on board to bust my butt and lose a few pounds before the holidays. I started the workout ready to have a great week. Then BAM...finishing up and my shoulder decided I pushed myself to far and I was done for at least a week. I wasn't sure how long it would take to feel better I just knew I needed to not push it further because 7.0 starts in a few weeks and I need to be 100% ready. I have a 50 pound loss that I want to achieve this year. It's actually a realistic goal and it feels like that I could actually achieve it this year but it seems every time I want to take a step forward towards making this goal a reality something like this happens. Back in September when I had successfully completed 2 surges and dropped a pant size I was motivated...then I had a vacation that helped me go back to old habits and all the progress and motivation has contiuned to go out th...
