It’s amazing how much you need support when moving towards accomplishing your goals. They don’t have to be weightloss goals, it can be any goal. You need people around you who will support you. The best thing would be to have those people in your own home, but we all know that can’t always be the case. I just posted my before pics. My before pics that my husband took for me. (it was either him or my 5 yr old) So as he just saw me post them up here, he’s like ” you want to post those pics online?” I’m like, I didn’t just take them for me. I took them because I’m not afraid to put it out there. I’m doing it to hold myself accountable so that I’m getting up everyday and pressing play to make sure that my next round of pictures shows marked progress.
It’s like the one thing in my life right now that I feel I can control is my workouts. I may not be able to control work, marriage, kids, the whole lot of it, even down to my eating, but I can control my workouts. I wish I had more support from him, but let’s face it…I’ve started so many weightloss journeys that I don’t expect him to believe me. But it does hurt to know that he expects me to fail. Not that I’m doing this for him by any means. This is all for me baby. It just sucks that’s all.
The other day he was at the computer while I was doing a workout. And Chalene was talking about Tonya in the video who has 7 kids ( a single, set of twins, set of quads) and all he could say, was wow how can she look like that after 7 and you’ve only had 2??? Yeah, crap like that sucks. But it’s all good…I just keep it moving. You can doubt me all you want, just stand back and watch. And when you see me making the changes, you’ll say so. Until then, it’s all about the progress that I see, and even that my friends see.
Just because your support system isn’t so supportive, you can create your own support system. I have friends who are supporting me. I have my readers, my facebook family, and my Team Beachbody community is there with just a click of the mouse. I’m upgrading to Club Membership tomorrow. It really is a pain filling out that form to enter the sweepstakes everytime I workout! lol But aside from that, they have great groups and message boards with people doing the same things you are, or who have already been there before. It’s so helpful to get advice from others who are there to help 🙂 Here’s the link for more info: http://bitly.com/eaMtwF For now, just getting this out helped me out.
