The other day I was talking to my mom and she said, "Liz, you need to make this 'The Summer of Me.' This is your time. Time for you to focus on only you. So take this chance and make it all about you."
Now I don't think my mother was encouraging me to be selfish, selfish, but in a way, yes! I need to look after me, myself, and my health. Which is what I'm doing! It's the first week of summer break, and already I've been doing really good at working out and giving my all. I have so much support, that I don't know what to do with it! I feel so motivated and willing to do this for myself and others.
I hope you all that read this find it somewhat inspiring. Because I'm not just doing this for me. The major, biggest reason is for me, yes. But I also want to do this to encourage others to do the same. Because when you're healthy, you're happy. I've even seen it in the past week! I am already a much happier person because I'm exercising and eating right. It could also be because I no longer have a sinus infection too..... :P
Anyway, back to topic... I have more goals to make this The Summer of Me. Some of the goals are already in effect, but I will reiterate them.
1. Exercise at least 5 times a week.
2. Read at least 8 books this summer.
3. Finish the Book of Mormon with my ward by the end of the summer.
4. Finish reading "The Holy Temple" by Boyd K. Packer.
So yes, I know this is a weight loss blog, but I believe that when you're spiritually with it and happy, it makes it easier to be physically and mentally happier. Not to mention it gives you a little heavenly boost from above. ;)
Now time to CELEBRATE! :D
I have exercised 3 times this week! Woo hoo! Go me! And on Saturday I'll weigh in, and we'll see if we can celebrate some more!
And now for something a little funny to keep you laughin'.
