MOTIVATE ME!!!! What you eat in private you wear in public

"People often say that motivation doesn't last,  Well.. Nether does bathing!  That's why we recommend it daily!

-Zig Ziglar

So... Here ya go!

One of the things I hear the most, (and used to believe myself) is... "I've worked out sooo hard!  I can have a few brownies.... or some Pizza.... or a plate of cookies, and still lean out!"

NO!  Not true!  Get it out of your head! NOW!  :)

The true problem is that when most of us eat unhealthy we do not view the AMOUNT of unhealthy food we eat accurately.   We say in our mind that we've just had a "few tiney unhealthy things"  but in reality we've had much bigger portions than we realize, or we've eatin a small unhealthy "something" but we've eatin that small thing 5 days out of the week!... etc etc.  

Eat HEALTHY!   MAKE IT A LIFESTYLE CHANGE, SO... That's just what you eat.... HEALTHY FOOD!

Once you start eating good clean food you'll start to LOVE the way it makes you feel... LOVE the way it tastes... and LOVE that you're teaching your family to live a healthy and happy life.  Then you won't really want to eat unhealthy food.   It takes a little time, but if you do it, you'll get there!

NOW, I'm bringing out the brutally honest Hard-Core trainer in me to leave you with this last little bit of info.... Here comes "TOUGH LOVE ERIN!"

If you can't make it 1 week,  JUST 7 DAYS! Without putting something unhealthy in your body, you need to sit down and have a tough talk with yourself about your eating habits and why you eat what you do.

AND

If you are trying to lean out, and you are eating an unhealthy meal more than once a week, and THEN expecting to drop fat... you're kidding yourself.  Don't step on the scale and be disappointed when it doesn't move, if you're putting bad food in your body.... even a little.

Like my dad used to say, "The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing, but expect different results!"

ENOUGH TOUGH LOVE!  

The biggest reason I LOVE healthy eating and LOVE to see other people do it, is how AMAZING YOU FEEL!   

My favorite thing in the entire world is when someone comes to me after a month of clean eating and says, "Erin, I had NO energy for my kids, and now I have TONS!"   Or, "Erin, I used to be on tons of different anti-depressants, high blood pressure medicine, I had Joint problems, back problems, Shots for diabetes etc etc... and NO MORE!"   Of just simply, MY FAMILY AND I are so much happier and enjoy life so much more because we FEEL AMAZING!"  

Try it, YOU'LL LOVE IT!
