I really want to do this too and it is so hard to start! I'll start for a week, then inevitably get sick or something will come up, and I fall off the wagon. How did you get started and stay focused?
Here is my answer:
i was fed up and wouldn't let anyone or anything stop me. it was a change of frame of mind. i have great support from my trainer and my huny and blogging it helps too. it keeps me accountable. at first i didn't think anyone was reading them..., but then i looked at the tracking and it shows what countries are reading your blogs and how many views.... that helped alot! i didn't want to fail! now i am almost 6 months into it, i am within normal range for BMI (I was in the upper 30s now 25) and i am a size 14/12 (lost 4 dress sizes)
a lot of it is figuring out how to work around life/food/work/etc with food and working out for you. i have people offer me food all the time and i just think to myself- if i have that.... how far will it set me back in how far i have come and is it worth it. the answer is always NO. even at restaurants- i order salad with everything on the side. at buffets- stick to the salad bar and fresh looking food (aka not canned) after time your frame of mind changes to think- hey! this isn't so bad or too hard!
as for work out.... i have said it before and i will say it again- i work out a lot compared to the normal joe or jane. it is different for everyone depending on ability, time and finances but luckily i have an awesome trainer who works with me :) i am lucky that she takes payments too!!!
So here is what i have been doing lately- working with a trainer 2x a week (1/2 hr sessions), cardio 2x a day (before & after work) 3-5x a week, eating clean and sticking to it.
this blog has also helped me a lot in keeping on track. i feel that i have an audience to keep me honest and in that a reputation to live up to. as for the pictures.... it is always good to have something to compare to and see the journey you have taken.
