"The voice in your head telling you that you can't, is a lying bitch"

Hey ladies!

So as you can guess from the title of this post, it is all about motivation.

I mentioned in my new years resolution post, one of my goals this year is to run a half-marathon. I really like (sometimes even love) to run, but I'll be the first to admit that my bed is just oh-so-warm-and-comfy in the morning and after a long day, the last place I want to go to is the gym. Though I also must admit I have never, ever regretted a good workout or run. When I have my days that I just don't want to workout though, I head over to my Fitness board on Pinterest. I found a great 12 week training schedule for my half-marathon (see below) and here are some of my favorite pins to keep me going!

Here is the sched:

And here is some motivation:

I literally repeat this in my head when I start to get tired on my runs.

I must say, the best part of this fitness journey is getting to know my body and learning just how far I can push myself. Kind of cheesy? Maybe! But I still love it!

What do you all use for your fitness motivation??

Pinterest Obsession!

A few months ago, after seeing so manyother bloggers began raving about this whole Pinterest thing, I decided to check it out and see what all the fuss was about. It is now safe to say that Pinterest is my number 1 visited website. Unlike Facebook, it is constantly changing (I mean who wants to see the same people onyour newsfeed over and over?) and you can do more than just creep people you mayor may not know (and lets be honest, we probably don’t know half the people we're facebook stalking). With Pinterest however, there are recipes, makeup tips, jokes, outfit ideas, really there is no limit to what you can stumble across on Pinterest! So, I confess, I am addicted.
