Hi Friends,
Some of you may have seen a few days ago where I talked about how I'd be using 
Instead of just tracking my steps though - I've been having fun taking some kind of photo for the thumbnail image that day that really represents something fitness related that happened that day.
Here are my first few!
The Daily Health Highlight Reel
I also added a segment to my Actifit report called the health highlight reel where I keep track of healthy wins from the day and add them into the report. Things like making a smoothie, or going for walks throughout the day, or trying to spend less time staring a screen etc.
To be honest - tracking this kind of stuff has probably been more motivating than just tracking my steps alone. I don't want my highlight reel to be empty on a given day - so it motivates me to make little healthy choices throughout the day so I can build out my list.
Just Lace Up and Get Out the Door
Ok... now onto the real reason for this vlog. It's one thing to keep a healthy highlight reel of all these great things...but that's definitely not the whole picture. The real picture is me sitting on my ass trying to convince myself to go for that run.
Even though my body feels great afterwards and I know the exercise is good for me... it's still hard to talk myself into it after a long day at work. I mean I should probably make some content or work on 
One of the best pieces of advice I've ever heard on the topic of fitness is the idea of simply lacing up and walking out the door. Instead of spending time thinking about how much a 25 minute run is going to suck or how I don't have the energy... I just have to take that first step and trust the rest will follow.
It always does. Once out the door and actually running... it's really not that hard to just finish my run at that point.
Cheers to you all on your own journeys of health and I look forward to chatting with you below!
XO, Lea
