I have done my inspiration board like a jigsaw puzzle because my 12wbt journey to date has been step by step like a puzzle. Each piece builds on the last one, and only when i have completed the whole puzzle will i see the end result. Which is the best version of me.
Each piece of the puzzle is needed to complete the whole picture. I cant lose weight if i dont exercise and eat clean. These are very special and important pieces to my puzzle. My 12wbt journey has been fun and satisfying just like doing the puzzle. The harder you work on the puzzle the quicker it will be completed and sometimes i have had to move pieces around to fit. It has also been frustrating because I haven't been able to find the correct piece and nothing seemed to fit. We all know how frustrating weight loss can be, some weeks 12wbt just does not seem to fit. When all the pieces are in place, the puzzle is complete and there is an end result and success. When you finish a jigsaw puzzle you feel a sense of ahh, a wholeness, a connection, a completion. My collage shows all the pieces I have fitted in the right spot so fare and all the ones that i will complete by the end of this round. I can't wait to see the finished picture which i will frame and keep for life. |
I saw this post yesterday and just love everything about it. It goes with everything i believe. This journey is forever and it has to be sustainable. Its forever. I am also a massive believer that you cannot out train a bad diet. A bit of chocolate on Easter Bunny day is not going to set back your goals unless you go on a long weekend hot cross buns and easter egg binge. Also i doubt if you would put on 2 or 3 kg for having a couple of eggs or hot cross buns if you are training the right way and you have built a healthy metabolism. I believe that we need to enjoy special days as long as we keep them in to days and not extend them into weeks and months. (The time of year has come where Facebook is flooded with posts about how much sugar chocolate has, how many calories your favourite Easter egg has, and how long it's going to take to burn it off. Of course, it's a great idea for our health not to consume too much added sugars in our die...

I loved your inspiration board. Definitely a little out of the 'square' and unique!
