Motivational Seeker

This is a blog to inspire and motivate myself during this journey to my dream bod.
Also, this will be done the healthy way.
In no way shape or form, do i support any type of eating disorder.

Toe Taps
The, um, lower, looser part of my butt takes a beating from this move. Thankfully.
Do it:
Lie on the floor with your arms on your sides.
Lift your feet, bending both knees to 90 degrees so your thighs are perpendicular to the floor.
Now slowly and quietly tap your left toes to the floor, then your right.
Alternate tapping feet for one minute.
If you feel any lower back pain, don’t bring your toes all the way down.

Hip-Lift Progression
This is an awesome way to relieve tension in your lower back and work your butt at the same time. (A cushy mat will keep your tailbone from crying afterward.)
Do it:
Lie on your back with your arms at your sides with your knees bent and your feet on the floor.
Lift your hips toward the ceiling. Hold for 1 count, and then lower back down.
Repeat the lifts for 60 seconds, squeezing your glutes and hamstrings at the top of the range of motion. Be careful not to overarch your spine.
To make this exercise more difficult, extend one leg at the top of the lift. Keep your thighs parallel and hold the lifted position for about 5 seconds.
Keeping your hips up, place your foot back on the floor and then lower your hips.
Repeat this exercise for 30 seconds; switch sides and do the move for another 30 seconds on the other leg.

10 Reason You Eat When You’re Not Actually Hungry
To cope. But if you turn to food for emotional reasons, you won’t resolve the underlying issues.
Out of boredom. But eating can only last for so long—and then you have an afternoon to fill!
Because other people are eating. Check in with your hunger level to see if you really need it.
Because food is there. If you’re unable to nix the trigger food altogether, move the treats out of sight—you’ll be less likely to grab a handful.
Because it’s a special occasion. Celebrations are about the people, not the food.
Because you’re tired. A change of scenery might be just the ticket to battle the afternoon lull.
Because the clock says so. Don’t just eat when the clock tells you to! When mealtime hits, use it as a cue to check in with your current hunger level.
Because it’s free (or cheap). Always check in with your body’s hunger level before you automatically fill your plate with a freebie.
Because you can’t say no to food pushers. You can always set the fork down or share the cake with neighbors or co-workers, or simply eat just a small portion.
Because you suffer from clean plate syndrome. To prevent overeating, take stock throughout your meal to gauge how hungry you are; you might find that you don’t need those last few bites after all.

To all of my followers that are striving for thigh gaps, look at this picture. These are taken seconds apart. What’s different is how Rachel is standing. 
This is a really important thing to remember. 

so good. its about time a picture like this started going around here…i’m a size 9 and even i can make it look like i have a huge thigh gap!

Anyone can suck in or stand apart. Don’t be fooled.
