Finding the Motivation to Get Healthy

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of wellnessdaily.com. All opinions are 100% mine.
Since getting pregnant, my weight has been yo-yoing nonstop. Sometimes I puff up and other times I seem to be on my way to my healthier weight. Just on my way, I haven’t actually reached that point yet. This is frustrating as weight had never been an issue with me when I was younger. I guess “younger” is the operative word. The old metabolism just ain’t what it used to be. Although if I were honest, I’d also put it down to less self-discipline of late. What drives me (inconsistently) to work at being healthier is the fear that I can’t be the best mother I can be for my child. Because I try to give my daughter a healthy and natural diet, it’s easier in my case to eat healthy too. The workout part is harder to keep up though. It’s really laziness pure and simple. I have an exercise bike here, workout DVDs, a hula hoop, 9 flights of stairs… I can’t find the chance to utilize any of them because I’m up to my chin with excuses: I don’t have the time, I don’t have the energy, etc. It’s like a chicken and egg thing. If I’d just exercise, I’d probably find myself with more energy… For now, keeping up with my daughter accounts for any strenuous movement I may do. It’s easy to inspire me though. I just need something that will keep me inspired. I found www.wellnessdaily.com and it has everything to keep me motivated to regain good health.
