Hi, I’m Tash from One Broke Girl. I’m
a 20 something living in Western Australia. I live in such a
beautiful state, although there’s not much to do here. I live about
5 minutes drive to the beach and only 2 minutes to two excellent
shopping malls (lets be practical here people – shopping matters).
When I first started out on my journey
of weight loss on June 28th, 2013 all I could see was the
road ahead and how far away my goal looked. Losing 116 pounds was a
daunting task and I wasn't looking forward to it. However, I learnt
early on to set yourself little goals and celebrate when you achieve
them.
Like in the first two weeks when I lost
4 pounds, gosh I was so excited I just had to get someone to take a
photo of me. I then set myself small 10 pound increment goals. I
found it really easy to look at reaching another 10 pounds than
looking at my overall goal and being like, well I still have 50
pounds to lose.
I have now lost over 80 pounds. To help
keep the motivation alive I take regular progress photos, I also have
a F I T board on Pinterest where I go if I am lacking the inspiration
to keep going.
I’ve also started focusing on getting
fit rather than losing weight. Because you can still be skinny
and unfit. Working out gives me a sense of empowerment and in a way I
become my own inspiration and motivation. If I can walk that 5 km
then I can certainly aim for 6 km next time, or even a run.
If you’re
looking for lose weight, or get fit I suggest finding yourself a nice
planner and start scheduling in your workout times like you would
anything else, but don’t forget to be flexible with yourself. It’s
easy to cancel a workout because you were running five minutes late
and you give yourself the excuse that you already missed the start of
your ‘appointment to work out’. No excuses, just do it!
If you want to hear more about my
journey you should pop on over to my blog One Broke Girl or follow me
on Instagram. I’d love to hear your success stories and journeys so
please share!

i'm all about planning your workouts. i make a workout calendar for the month and hang that up. that way, i don't have to figure out what i need to do the next day. it really does help with keeping yourself on track

Weight losing is a very nice thing as it not only helps to keep the body fit but, it also helps to reduce extra fat from the body.
