inspirational friday

Jordin Sparks in 2009

Jordin Sparks today

 Friday at last folks! After such a crazy week I am SO looking forward to sleeping in and watching reruns in my pajamas. Today's inspiration to avoid binges is none other than the very talented Jordin Sparks. According to the Huffington Post, she lost 50 pounds (YIKES!) in about two years, and can now rock a tiny blue bikini on the cover of a health magazine. What better inspiration than that? She confessed that her trigger to changing her nasty habits was realizing she was always feeling sick and tired. That is SO relatable! I got to a point where I was falling asleep all the time and getting these nasty headaches every single day, and I'd be all cranky and annoying; it sucked. And to think that so often you don't associate all those symptoms with your lifestyle, you even start thinking its normal. 

BUT IT'S NOT.

Changing your diet and exercising is not just about fitting into a smaller pant size or being able to flaunt a bikini body, it's also about treating your body the right way to live a better life. Feeling exhausted can be directly related to how how much exercise you do, and the probability of you ending up with a serious disease can be greatly reduced by eating balanced meals. Committing yourself to exercise and a healthy diet will make you beautiful on the outside AND on the inside. 

So how about it girls? Hop on the healthy lifestyle boat and begin your journey to a sexier, healthier you. I hope you all have an amazing weekend, and remember to keep yourself constantly motivated! We'll meet again for Weight In Sunday, you should all keep your fingers crossed so that scale delivers good news, I'll need all the help I can get to bring that bastard down at least 1 kg...
