Fit-Spiration Diary #1 | QueenBeady

I only started my diet & exercise regime on Monday but already I’m starting to see the results, maybe not on hips & thighs but in my mindset.

Yesterday I posted something of a diary post here, it felt so therapeutic to just write it down and not hide behind the happy persona I portray. It actually made me deal with it head on. And for that, the last month I have been comfort eating, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol on a weekend and it’s had a negative effect on not only my body but my mind too. It was time to take action and really make me feel good about myself.

Last night I did 45 minutes of swimming and was under my calorie goal on MyFitnessPal. To see it written down gave me the boost I needed. I’m a person that likes to see results clearly so keeping fit by using the tools such as MyFitnessPal has really helped me get into a mind set to achieve something. Not stopping there, this morning I made my way down to our brand new local, outdoor gym. Not only is it great for the community, it’s free & it makes gym equipment accessible for the masses. I really think this should be championed in places where transport links aren’t great to those huge, branded, well-known gyms!

After a successful #HappySelves chat on Monday night we actually were trending on twitter! Despite feeling down & out over the last month this chat has really helped me when feeling low. The chat wouldn’t be what it is without it’s participants and for that I am truly grateful to you all. I feel like I’m going down a road now to making myself feel good about myself. Everything starts at ”ME”, it may sound selfish, but having that told to you is the biggest feeling of relief you could even possibly imagine. It isn’t selfish to want to feel better mentally and physically so I have taken that advice and fingers crossed, in a months time both you & I will see the results!

I’d love to hear what you use to keep motivated? For me it’s using MyFitnessPal and reading inspirational quotes. Also, getting off my bottom & just moving is the biggest thing too!

    I’m starting a new job tomorrow, so I’m hoping the routine and lack of stress will really help me get my motivation back! It’s been gone for so long, bloody stress. I don’t know what specifically motivates me, just once I’m motivated I’m super motivated!

    I love this post and it is such a great contrast to your previous post <3 So happy to know you have already taken that first step and it is already paying off. I find that exercise is the best way to get me out of a funk – totally changes my mindset and gives you somewhere to work out all of those emotions and frustrations without taking it out on a loved one. I used to use My Fitness Pal and thought it was brilliant – really helped me feel like I was making progress and easy to monitor – makes you think more about what goes into your body and what you are capable of! It worked so well that I pretty much just work it out in my head now! Good luck with the rest of your fitness plan xx

    Oh my god I love myfitness pal haha it is so handy, seriously! Although when I write down what I have actually eaten it is a tiny bit scary, but adding the exercise part is fun and I love swimming! Glad you are feeling a little better hun, don’t feel too guilty about the naughty indulgences now again though xxx
