What Motivates You?

Last night I logged into my blog and I noticed a lady had updated her blog that I started following a few weeks ago, I never check them most of the time but this title caught my eye, " How to be an alcoholic and still lose weight *insert curse word here*". Excuse me?

This particular blog is about a woman who lost 60 pounds twice after each baby. Now I am not discounting what she did, I think it is amazing for anyone to lose that kind of weight on there own. My issue come in with how vulgar she is and yet her blog is famous! I mean thousands of followers. She gets 300+ emails a day. I started looking through her blog yesterday and while some post are encouraging about a runners high, and Ripped in 30, they are still filled with curse words, and she calls her readers some things I wouldn't say in private let alone on front of the whole world. Needless to say, I no longer follow her but now I am curious, " What motivates you?"

I do this blog to motivate others but I also do it for myself. You guys hold me accountable everyday and I am sure you don't even know it. I workout harder and eat better because I know if I get results maybe one other person will change their lifestyle for the better. All of you are motivating me everyday! My husband motivates me, my son's beautiful toothy smile, and of course a bikini! I am curious if just my results and ramblings motivate others? This thought brings me back to the other blog, she has advertising on her blog, and also does giveaways, and gives you her reviews on other topics. For example, she did a review on 50 shades of Grey.

Basically telling women if you have problems in the bedroom read this book! Can you believe it??? I am sure it would have the opposite effect if her husband knew what she was reading! How would you feel if you came in and saw your husband reading some kind of porn? Don't get it twisted that book is pornography and it is the same as a man reading a Playboy just with words instead of pictures. Now I am not saying I haven't read a romance novel, but I don't anymore because I now understand how inappropriate it is! So all the ladies out there, don't read the book! You want a love story? Go read Song of Solomon. For example, here is a few verses from Song of Solomon where Solomom admires his brides beauty.

Song of Solomon 4:3-7, " Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your mouth is lovely. Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil. Your neck is like the tower of David ...Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, that graze among the lillies...You are altogether beautiful my love; there is no flaw in you."

Boom! 50 shades of whatever has nothing on this! Want to read more about the love you can have in a Godly marriage. Pick up your bible and read the rest, it gets even better!

Okay soap box over, stepping down now! Sorry that kind of went in the wrong direction but like I said I ramble! What I mean to say is, do I have to start talking about sex, porn, how to get drunk with no calories, and call you names to get you motivated to work out? If that's what you need? Please stop reading here! I am not going to sell out to get a following, I am hoping that just by being my imperfect self I can show others that anyone can change your body and mind for the better.

So I guess I will continue on this journey, helping anyone who wants it! By the way, thank you to the few of you that have texted or emailed me saying you are going to start Ripped in 30, it is an answered prayer. It makes me want to keep going to get one more person doing this with me :) God is in this, I can feel it! Also, if you have any suggestions on something you would like me to talk about please send me an email or comment!

If you want to keep up with me all you have to do is follow my blog, if you have a gmail it is pretty easy to follow me and you don't have to keep checking Facebook!

Technical Difficulties

I respond to all the comments and I thought the alerts I got in the comments section were able to be deleted, little did I know, if I delete them in my mailbox, it deletes it from the blog!! Double "GRRRR"! So I got your comments, responded, and then deleted them! Pretty smart, huh? Like is said I am figuring this out as I go!

I am going to do Day 4, of Week 2! Have a great day!
