I forgot to mention this earlier, and I certainly don't want to knock personal trainers or workout gurus, mad props to them for keeping us all motivated and for changing lives.
But if you're anything like me, chances are a size 0 Brazillian model working out in front of you while you try to sweat away the pounds is doing the opposite of motivation for you. When I see a size 0, Brazillian model type doing a crunch... my crunch looks worlds different from hers. Like say for instance you grew up in a family where there was always the pretty one and you were like the awkward one... yea. Kind of like that. I lose motivation, I even begin to loathe the poor size zero chick simply because of the fact that when she works out: A) she's not even close to being out of breath, B) she's wearing something that I could maybe fit on one leg, and C) she's sporting the most ripped abs and tightened glutes I've ever seen... and I'm sporting a lot more jiggle and a delightful kangaroo pouch.
I don't know that I am built to look that way, in fact, I can assure you that my bones probably don't wear a size zero and so, I don't recommend viewing videos where model types are working out in front of you, if that just makes you feel more like CRAPOLA! Working out is supposed to make you feel GREAT! Emotionally and physically. So, if you're feeling down while watching hot model chick, memorize the workouts... play some music in the house, find a nice quiet place, and workout to the beat of the music! Have fun with it. Now, you're not feeling like you're competing with size zero.
For those of you who love size zero model workout videos and feel entirely motivated and fabulous while working out, I say... Men! Get off my blog. LOL nah, just playing. Sometimes seeing your "goal self" is a good thing and I can't knock you for it! Keep it up!!!
But size zero is not a realistic "goal self" for me.
Step: 10 is it? "Workout to your own beat, get fit for you and don't compete!" Yea, I'm totally aware of the fact that I just rhymed :)
