Inspiration

Lately I've been taken back by the fact that I'm inspiring people. It baffles me that little ol' me is inspiring people to make healthy choices. 

I've gotten a lot of questions about what is working for me, where I get recipes from and how to find motivation. I'm always honest and more then willing to share what is working for me and how I'm getting it done every day, but I remind them that I am not a pro at this. I still eat food that I shouldn't, I still dislike working out and I still miss McDonald's and fried foods. I just know that eating those things or not doing the workouts will not get me where I want to be and all they will offer is instant gratification.

I've really had to learn that every weight loss journey is different, just like everyone is a different person. I will not lose weight the same way someone else did. I can not eat things other people can because it may throw me back to my bad habits. I've really had to learn to read my body and know what works for me.

I can share tips, hints and answers all day long but that doesn't mean it's going to work for you or be what is best for you. I want it to work for you though, so badly.

My biggest advice and inspiration I can give someone is to do what works for you. Find the program (Weight Watchers, counting calories or carbs) and stick with it. The hardest part of the journey is starting it and sticking to it. I'll never regret starting this journey again, even if it is my third time.

Third times the charm!

What inspires you?

I read a lot of blogs and through that I have networked with a lot of different people. A few of them have become great friends that I hope to actually meet someday but that's a whole different story. With all the blogs that I read, I have found that they are very similar, a few being giveaway blogs and the majority of them are women blogging about their daily life. All of the woman are so creative, so great with their words and almost all of them take amazing pictures.

Everyday I make time to check in on my reading list and catch up on blogs, and most the time I walk away feeling inspired or feel like I have learned something through them. Other days, I walk away feeling bad about myself. I want to be that creative, I want to learn to take pictures like that and I want to inspire everyone with my words. When I start to feel like that, I shut my computer and walk away and try to do something productive.

I dream of the day where I'll have hundreds of blog followers, and I blog about the project I just finished with amazing pictures, and I inspire someone to create something of their own.

I dream of the day where I'll blog about my family and post cute pictures of my children.

I dream of the day where I can share my knowledge about designing and coding blogs with my readers and I can post tutorials and they learn something from me.

As I walk away from the computer I realize that all these blogs inspire me to be creative and I've learned so much from them. They don't even know it but these woman have given me so many different ideas; from cooking/baking to home decor, to how to organize my life better.

Through them, I believe I'm a better person. I wish I could thank them.

What blogs inspire you to be a better person? Where do you get your creative ideas from?
