Inspiration -7th blog writers vitural symposium-

Inspiration -7th blog writers vitural symposium-

This is the definition I prefer.

Inspiration: to produce or arouse (a feeling, thought, etc.):

Inspiration comes in different forms for me. Sunshine and warm weather, seeing pounds lost on a scale, or realizing my jeans are now loose are big motivators. When someone you haven’t seen in a while tells you that you look good, like you lost weight, it is the best form of inspiration. Inspiration is also great from a friend who acts as your cheerleader when you are trying to eat healthy.

I have been very inspired lately to eat healthy and get some exercise. I cut Coke, cookies, cake, and donuts out of my diet. I’m trying to cut any added sugar out completely. I have been drinking fruit smoothies for breakfast. Fruit is considered a metabolism starter.

I have added vegetables to my daily meal plan also. I try to eat lettuce or salad with my lunch and dinner meals. When I cook a protein I always have at least one vegetable on the side. I have also tried to cut out starchy vegetables and starches such as rice. Variety is the spice of life and I have tried very hard to vary my foods.

The results of my Inspiration and my lifestyle change shows every day. Today I had a big surprise when I stepped on the scale. I have now lost a total of 12 pounds in the 2 months I have been “Inspired”

A couple weeks ago when I was walking, I noticed I had to keep pulling my jeans up. That was a great motivator to keep going. My jeans are now baggy. I need to take them in a bit in the waist!

I have had 2 slight drawbacks in my new lifestyle. First of all my knee started hurting me. I haven’t seen my doctor yet, as her appointments are booked more than a month in advance. Secondly, the weather has really sucked. It has been very cloudy, rainy, dreary, and cold. I have noticed that I am definitely a fair weather walker! I need sunshine and warm temperatures to be outside. I did walk today with a knee brace on. I hope that I can keep walking and get exercise.

Inspiration produces positive feelings and thoughts. Inspiration produces creativity. Inspiration is wonderful.

Twelve pounds in two months is pretty terrific, but... all this healthy activity! Are you trying to outlive your fellow bloggers?

Wearing baggy clothing can be damned satisfying... may you continue to know that pleasure as long as is healthy! And thank you for sharing this, and potentially inspiring others!

Thank you for your kind words and thank you for having the writers symposium each month. Sometimes I don't like the topic, but I am still "Inspired" to write on it. {=}

Your inspiration should be an inspiration to others here on AF*F.
I was just commenting on someone else's blog that I did a hard stair work out today with my 15 yr old daughter. Yes, she could have run the stairs, but she chose to wait patiently for her huffing and puffing mama. I know that I will feel better when I can do the stair workout without having my heart rate go over 170 and to be able to do it at a steady rate.
Kudos to you lady and a great post!

The observant make the best lovers,
I may not do right, but I do write,
I have bliss, joy, and happiness in my life,

Kudos to you! I am inspired to do the same. I started walking again now that the weather is nicer.
