Today’s post almost didn’t happen. I know. I feel like such as slacker. I’m definitely in the downhill slump. You know the kind where you get discouraged, want to give up, and call it quits. This weight loss thing isn’t fun, and sometimes it’s downright disheartening. Thus today I decided to call in the troops from my Pinterest Healthy Inspiration Board. Below are some of my favorites. If you’re on your weight loss journey and need some healthy inspiration to keep on keeping on, feel free to check these out. Hopefully they will be an encouragement to you too.

2. This “How to Get Skinny” infograph provides great statistical inspiration. Did you know that novelty eating makes you eat more? Maybe that’s part of my problem–I like trying out NEW recipes all the time!

4. This is just the quote I needed this week.

Straggling to Strong Challenge Update
Last Week’s Goals
I let my schedule and travel plans get the best of me again. Thankfully there will be no more traveling this next week but that still doesn’t account for my lack of enthusiasm in seeing this through to the finish. I admit it. I’m discouraged. I did cardio when home but gave up tracking my calories as I had no clue exactly what I was eating. Aw well. Thank goodness this is a journey and not a one-time event.
Pounds lost this week: 0
Total Pounds lost: 6 lbs.
This Week’s Goals
- Do at least 3 hours of cardio this week
- Complete 7 Weeks to Fitness Week 5
- Track calories on My Fitness Pal.
What’s your plan of action this week?
