Eating well and exercising regularly is tough and takes a lot of commitment, so it’s important for us to always remember WHY we do it! I made this little list to help keep me on track. I would encourage each of you to make your own list and refer to it often!
REASONS WHY I STRIVE TO LIVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
- I will feel a sense of accomplishment and self discipline.
- I will have more energy and be more productive.
- I will be a good example of health to my children.
- I will have a healthier body; heart, muscles, mind, skin….the whole shebang.
- I will lower my risk for a million terrible diseases.
- I will like the way I look and feel more confident.
- It will be fun to shop for cute clothes (sounds silly, but it is motivating!)
- I will be more attractive to my husband. Btw, Kev always makes me feel loved no matter what, but I feel like I owe it to him to take care of myself and not just “let myself go”. That’s a hard one to explain, so I hope you catch my drift.
- I will live a longer and higher quality life.
- I will sleep better.
- I will relieve stress.
- I will be more optimistic and happy.
- I will age gracefully; better joints, strength, bones, skin, balance, etc.
- I will have a stronger immune system.
