Fit Beautiful Life

Hello Fit Beautiful Life Followers!! Just a quick post to let you know that I am going to get back to posting on a more regular basis. I have been on a bit of a hiatus for the past few years due to an injury and other set backs. In January I started working with an online trainer and am now fully committed again.  Even those of us "in the industry" get into a slump, mine was longer than I would have liked it to be. I can't go back and change the past, but I can change what I do today, so that's where my focus is. I'm down 17lbs from January 31st and would like to lose about 8 more. My bigger focus right now is building muscle though, not so much on the weight loss.  I hope that you will join me in the journey and find something that motivates you to keep at (or get back to it)!! Thanks for listening! Be sure you're following me on social media too: Facebook: Fitness Motivation for Ordinary People IG: Fitnessmotivation_fmfop

I've been struggling to find the balance lately and wanted to vent a little. I find it unfair that some people can eat "whatever they want" and not gain weight. I find it unfair that many people don't have to weigh/measure their food or count their calories. I find it unfair that many people can get away with doing NO cardio and still maintain their weight. I find it unfair that men can gain muscle MUCH easier than women. I've been having a hard time finding a good balance these last few weeks. I'm tired of eating the same meals all the time, tired of doing cardio, upset that my work travels have interfered with my schedule, mad that I can't eat froyo, blah blah blah. I have a photoshoot coming up in about 10 weeks so I'm supposed to really be giving it "all I've got" and I just don't feel like I've got that much to give. I don't know what the deal is but I'm just not in the mood like I usually am. I don't kno...

I just have to vent. and also warn you ahead of time that this blog post might offend some of you. That is not the intention, I just want to have a real "conversation" and put my thoughts out there... I have been noticing lately that more and more people are obese. What is going on? I've always noticed the obesity problem but it seems lately when I'm out shopping and pay attention to those around me, that's really all I see. There is so much free information out there these days that I cannot believe we still choose not to do something to improve our health and well being. I have some over weight friends, some don't want to be over weight and "try" to change it. I have other friends that claim they are happy that way because they want to enjoy what they are eating and "live" life. I get it.... I too enjoy eating a bowl of ice cream but if I ate that way every meal, everyday, I'd be sick to my stomach.  I enjoy what I eat. I love the way...
