Where's Your M

Where's your mind? No... Where is your motivation? Where does it come from? Is it a dream.. is it other people? Tell me... I would love to know where you all find your motivation.
Some people find motivation in setting a goal and accomplishing that goal. Setting a goal weight, a goal date, or even a goal of eating better.
Some people find motivation in quotes... funny sayings... or books to read. I do love to read motivating articles in my Oxygen Magazine. There are tons of motivation books out there.

My main motivation comes from others... strangers in fact. I love a great, motivating blogger or a motivating person on Twitter or Instagram. I am also motivated by my followers. If I set a goal with you all I feel obligated to accomplish it.

There are tons of people on Twitter that I find motivating, but what I have been loving lately is Instagram (@annar31). I think it is the continuous stream of photos that keep me motivated (thinking out loud). I follow people that post progress pictures, clean eats, fun fitness products, and even those that are preparing for competitions. I love it!

I usually check my phone in the morning in order to get myself out of bed. It really is motivating when someone on the East Coast has been up for two hours and has posted a picture of their workout they completed! =)

I have been thinking about competing for a very, very long time. I have never had the courage to start... mainly because I am afraid of what it entails. I am sure there is a fear of failure or no support, also.

While I am still thinking about that... What motivates you? Not even your fitness goals, but maybe what motivates you at work... school... or home. Where does your drive come from and your confidence to do things you wouldn't normally do come from?

Word on the Street...

I am so pleased with the entries for the Chobani Giveaway and I cannot wait for more.
I originally posted that I would be choosing a winner Sunday and announcing on Monday.
Well, I will be on vacation (which I completely forgot about) and will be unable to choose a winner and announce until Thursday of next week (8/23).
Good thing on this is, it leaves more time for more entries... bad news is, we will have to wait a little bit longer for a winner.
Sorry, guys!
I will be headed out for camping a little later today and will be away from my blog.
I will be updating my Twitter and Instagram (@annar31) daily.
If you have entered for the Chobani Giveaway you are already following these.
If you haven't entered yet and wish to enter... you will be following me also! =)

Thank you for all of your support!
I look forward to 'lots of winners to choose from!!

Where Have You Been?

Where to even begin...
I haven't been working on my blog and posts as much as I would like to lately. Between school, work, and trying to stay sane it seems as though time has been getting away from me.
I PROMISE this week I will set my new Weekly Challenge, participate in What I Ate Wednesday and post more informative/inspiring blogs.
With that being said...
It is June 1st...we are now 6 months in to this year. How has your year been? Have you accomplished the resolutions or goals you set for yourself back at the start  of the year?
If not, now is a good time to reevaluate and start fresh. I know I have a few new goals to add to my list and a few that I need to start working on as I believe I may did slack on some. :-/
Perhaps I will set a new 6 month challenge! Post your new or current goals for me. I'd love to have some of your ideas inspire me to create some new goals to tackle.

I have created my new twitter account @fit_insideout and my Instagram @fit_inside out.
I haven't determined which one I will use more than the other, but I though with the new changes Facebook has been making I should start to research new sites to use.
I am LOVING the Healthy Diva Eats blog lately. I am still new to the blog and her Facebook page, but I am loving the various posts Katie does. My favorite blog is one of her latest with her June challenge. Katie sets her June challenge for use with her post Show Me Your {tea}. Go have a look-see and join in the challenge. She has great ways to use your Twitter and Instagram to participate in the challenge this month.
Head on over or let me know what you think of her page and posts.
Until later... I promise I won't take as long as I did this week to post new posts.
Head on over to my Instagram, Twitter or Facebook for daily posts.
I really love and appreciate all my followers and love seeing other posts on healthy lifestyles and fitness.
