Motivate Me Monday

I find Instagram to be such a great source of inspiration for my Motivate Me Monday. I follow loads of fitness accounts and find myself just scrolling through their images whenever I get a craving for naughty food or need something to motivate me to exercise. 

Incorporating health and fitness into what would be my usual social media time, really does help to get the message across. Here are a few of my favourite images from browsing on instagram this morning.

Motivate Me Monday

Is everyone else loving that the sun is out again today?

I have had SUCH a lazy weekend. But I've loved it, I was eating well last week so felt I deserved to just nap and chill all weekend. As you do. 

So my fitspiration today is a warm welcome to the week I feel. I'm ready to eat well again and now that the sun is back out, might even be tempted to start up my walking/running again. 

Motivate Me Monday

This week is a new start! I've already started it pretty well by switching my wholemeal toast breakfast for half a grapefruit. Salad for lunch and probably something equally as healthy for dinner. It's a new day and I am ready for some fitspo!

How have we all been getting on?

I made steps, although small, towards getting back on track again. I was a little naughty, but that's normal. You can't restrict yourself all week. So it's been a mixed bag this week but I feel better for it. I hope that all of you have all been feeling more motivated again too!

Motivate Me Monday

I don't know why, but I've found getting myself motivated over the last few weeks very difficult. It might just be because its so groggy at the moment and I hate being stuck in an office all day, but I dunno, does anyone else find this?

So this week I want to get back on track. I've planned in my meals on MFP today and I plan to go for my walk/run for 30 minutes tonight. Let's get back into the swing of things again! 

Motivate Me Monday

I find fitspiration from so many places. From fitness bloggers to fitspo tumblrs, I am all over them to keep myself on track. But I've found my biggest source of inspiration to be from Instagram. 
 I follow a fair few accounts on instagram and I'm on it every day, so why not incorporate fitness and health into my regime into this way as well. I've listed a few of the fitness accounts I follow underneath this pictures, so you can check them out for yourself.

Motivate Me Monday

This weekend started out well, but I already knew I'd break anyway. I went for a run/walk, cooked all of my meals for the week and then headed to my friend's house for a catch up. Which then lead to Starbucks, chips and cocktails. 

This week is a new week though and I'm ready to get going again. So here's some fitspo for both me and for you as well.

Motivate Me Monday

This week's Motivate Me Monday is a little different to the usual. I just thought that rather than having some fitspo up, I would let you in on a fitness trick that you will not only enjoy but see great results from. 

You might have seen some blog posts on dog walking I do with Elliot's two bichon frises', so when I went up to his last week I decided to switch on my MapMyRun app and take a look at just how much you can get from such an enjoyable task. 

After walking, running and playing along the beach for an hour, we had travelled 2.2 miles and burned 371 kcal's, which I'm sure will have been a lot more considering we were walking on sand. How amazing is that?

So before you think that fitness is a drag, get yourself out this Bank Holiday doing fun activities like beach walks. With or without a dog, you'll still be getting the benefits. Even better, when I'm out burning these calories, I can get some great shots of the dogs to feed my photography needs.
