5 WEIGHT-LOSS MINDSET TO ADOPT

-

Loosing weight has been my journey since 2013 and I haven't gone back on my pledge to remain healthy and fit. I decided to loose weight when I turned 21 because I felt skinny was more sexy than fat. I had several  people refer to me as ''Fat'' and that hurt me badly so I decided to start working out and watch what I eat. 

At first I started off for the wrong reasons and with time I got better at setting my priorities right and fixing my mindset. That was when I began my fitness journey and not weight-loss. I wanted more than just loosing few pounds. I wanted to be fit, I wanted my body toned and most of all I wanted an overall healthy body and mind. As this mental shift helped me, I decided to share with some persons who has been struggling with loosing weight or achieving a sustainable weight loss.



  • Make healthy living a lifestyle: You should understand that when trying to loose weight, you are not just whipping up an easy fix that is momentary. Once you understand that eating clean and working out is going to be a lifestyle for you, your mind adjusts to exercising every morning and you don't see it as what you have to do to loose weight only, rather you see it as part of your morning routine for a better life. I personally work out 5-6 times a week and I enjoy everyday of it.

  • Change your goals: I told myself my goal was not to loose weight. My goal was to be fit. Therefore, fitness is continuous, its a lifestyle. I found it interesting and I enjoyed the journey towards being fit. I got fitter every single day and the results wowed me. Let your goal not be a ''NOW'' thing but more of a long term sustainable goal. 

  • Ditch the ''Don't Eat This And That'' Mentality: There are so many myths about eating or not eating some certain kinds of foods. Some say Keto dieting is the best, some say don't eat carbs at all etc. I have a problem with removing an entire food group from my diet because I'm on a weight loss journey. Exactly how long can one sustain that? That's exactly what the quick fix methods advocates. However, when you have lost weight, wouldn't you go back to enjoying those foods? That  is exactly one reason why some keep fluctuating from slim to fat. I advice moderation of everything. Eat in moderation and in small proportions. Your body needs all the food groups and you shouldn't deprive it of those vital nutrients. The only thing you should cut off should be refined sugary drinks, junks and fad foods.

  • Stop stepping on the scale every now and then: This is one way of pressuring your body and overtime when it seems the weigh isn't coming off, then you resort to the ''quick fix'' so as to get a fast result. Those fast results would also go fast. Forget about being on the scale always. Focus more on eating clean and working out. You will see the result in time. 

  • Starvation is not the key to weight-loss: You don't want to harm your body to gratify yourself while looking in the mirror. It would tell on you on the long run. Take it a step at a time. Finally, surround yourself with people of like minds that will motivate you to keep going on until you can be a motivation to someone else. 

Do you need help with loosing weight and most importantly be fit?

5 Ways To Get Out Of A BAD Mood

-

We sometimes get into a really bad mood either after having a conversation that didn’t end well, a work meeting that ended on a sour note, a bad hair or dress day or even having a bad mood that you have no clue at the moment as to why you feel so moody or sad.  These feelings can longer and end up ruining the whole day and disrupting a great opportunity for us to live this wonderful life. After the words “Once today goes by, you can NEVER get it back” sank deep into my consciousness and even my sub-consciousness, I take the most of each day and try to enjoy this life.  So here are my 5 ways to snap out  of a bad mode quickly.  1) Acknowledge the reason that put you in a bad mood. Now this is not the time to address it. It’s just for you to recognize that you are in a bad mood and what is causing it.  2) Change environment. Stepping away from the surrounding or change of scenery is the next best step to take if you want to get out of a bad mood. Remaining at the ...

The War Within

The brown rusty leaves rolled over her legs as she sat helpless on the grass. The park was sparsely populated which made it very easy to stay unnoticed. Lifting her head, struggling to see through the heavy clog of tears welling up in her eyes. The day was getting dark, darkness has become her place of solace. She kept a steady gaze at the kids running freely, playing catch while she battled with the decision of either staying back or going home. Home? That house didn’t feel like home and it hasn’t felt like home in a long while. The mind drifted to when she was a child with little or nothing contending for space or attention in her head except for love and the ‘’can do spirit’’, which spurred her to fly without wings and run without shoes to distances that were unimaginable. She lived as free as the wind and that was the bliss of childhood which she fought to get rid of and step into adult shoes. Since stepping into those overly talked about shoes, its been filled with ...

ARE YOU READY 😇😇😇

Recently I just discovered something about relationships. It had not really occured to me but I started noticing it lately and I just had to address it. The way people take relationship these days is so baffling. They wake up one morning and out of nowhere they want to be in a relationship. (like it's a child's play or it's worth nothing). The way people prepare for marriage should be the way they should prepare for relationships, since its the first step to marriage. In my own opinion, marriage and relationships are basically the same thing except for the intimacy/sex (which happens in most relationships now and that does not mean it's right) and the blessings from a Priest. The other things are basically the same thing. Being in a relationship entails so much. It's not just a fling, hearts are involved, emotions, ideas, sharing of visions and goals. People in relationships virtually plan their lives together and impact each other directly or indirectly. Am ju...
