Think of all the self hate, or maybe the spilling headaches from too much sugar, the dehydration from too much salt, or not enough water, the staggered breathing after just bringing in the shopping. This all happening EVERY DAY, now compared to that, is being healthy REALLY harder?

So maybe instead of waking up tomorrow and going ‘Ok still need to be able to run this much faster, eat this much less junk… just pause for a second and go ‘Wow, I’m actually running! And it used to kill me to even walk that!’ Or ‘Today I said no to McDonald’s drive thru when most day’s I’d go in, now THAT’S progress’. Just sit back for a bit and… be happy.

Present moment of laziness: 1 seconds, 1 hour, 1 day maybe. But being healthy for the future, that’s forever.

Wouldn’t you rather have created a habit to crave healthy foods for your body, rather then having to constantly feel like your denying yourself the junk food you’re craving right now?

So remember, do this for YOURSELF

What keeps you going?

Maybe one of my favourite motivational quotes. Hint: Each day / week change your desktop / phone background to your most inspiration picture, that way you are constantly being reminded, and hey, it might get you out running instead of facebooking!
