I started working out again. Now I have started to change my way of thinking.
Working out has become a mandatory part of my schedule. Its hard to do it, cause my schedule doesn't always have room with work, kids, maintaining home and family and friends. But I realize that I have to do it for myself.
Its been so long time since I have done something for me and my well being. So now, I am determined to maintain my health, getting my weight to the right BMI, and putting my self on a workout routine.
Instead of treating as a temporary routine that I will stop once I reach my goal weight. I am making It a part of my life.
The same goes for my diet. Its important for me to not treat it like a temporary diet. But to make a change in my overall lifestyle. Believe or not its a lot more refreshing thinking of it that way. It makes be see it as a challenge for myself.
What motivates me to do it? Its knowing that I am doing it for myself.
This is how I looked in my twenties:

It takes 45 minutes to an hour to complete.
My Goal is to maintain my weight, skin, hair and nails. Its my lifestyle change.
