Change your MINDSET

I have to work out today….
Correction: I GET TO workout today. 💖
•
I talk to so many ladies who say they just can’t find the motivation to workout. One thing I’ve found though is practicing GRATITUDE in any situation can almost always be a solution.
•
What if you stopped looking at fitness as a chore?
Instead saw it as a privilege.
Something AMAZING your body is capable of doing each and every day. ✨
•
Today you get to workout. You get to increase endorphins, feel more positive, improve your health, and move your body in a way that not everyone is capable of.
•
Will you take advantage of that?! 💪✨

Your MIND affects your VIBE. 🙌💕

Confession: Whenever I get stressed, anxious, or depressed, my mind defaults to one thing…
I HATE my body. I’m GAINING weight. I don’t look good.
.
Now, this is not healthy, and is something I am ACTIVELY working on changing, but one thing that does always help is a little reality check.
It’s really easy to SPIRAL a thought in your mind. True or not you start to BELIEVE it. It becomes FACT. Truth.
.
Reality # 1: Aside from a tan (please come back summer) these two pictures look the exact same. One is 6 months ago, when I felt just fine. One is last week.
.
Reality # 2: Disclaimer: I usually HATE the scale. But it is a good measure of REALITY.
Well this past weekend I HAD to step on it (for a really EXCITING project I can’t quite tell you about yet 😉 ) and to my surprise I was the same weight I always am.
.
PROOF that I was creating my reality solely in my HEAD.
Remember what you think you will eventually BECOME. Change your thoughts, and you’ll change your life

Transformation PSA

Reminder on Transformation Tuesday:
Every body reacts DIFFERENTLY to exercise.
Every body loses weight at a different PACE.
Every body BUILDS muscle in a different way.
Every body REACTS differently to food and diets.
.
Just because you don’t look like her doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.
Just because you don’t have a six-pack doesn’t mean you’re not working hard.
Just because you haven’t lost weight doesn’t make you unworthy.
.
Run your own race. Be proud of your own accomplishments. Compare yourself to your past, not other people. 💕💪

What to do when you’re not motivated.

Confession: lately I’ve been struggling with some serious LACK of motivation with my workouts. This is typically never an issue for me BUT no one is motivated 100% of the time, and it’s been more of a struggle for me lately.
.
Does that mean I’m skipping my workouts?! Absolutely NOT.
.
Here’s what’s been working for me:
I’ve been scheduling my workouts like appointments. Legit, writing them into my planner. I treat them like I would a doctor’s appointment. I can’t cancel, can’t move things around, I have to show up.
I tell myself to get through ten minutes and if I’m not feeling it, I can stop. Most often the hardest part is getting STARTED and once I am moving I am just fine.
I constantly REMIND myself that I will feel 10X better AFTER I workout. No matter how tired, anxious, or busy I am, I will never REGRET getting it done.
.
Lastly, I cut myself some slack. I know I’m not perfect and if I miss a workout here or there, it’s not the end of the world, or the start of a new diet. I simply learn from it, and make sure I don’t miss another day. 💕

Do you struggle with motivation to workout? What helps you stay on track? 💪

Important Reminder for the Ladies

Listen up Ladies…
.
In order to “tone up” you need to Build muscle. 💪
.
If you’re wanting to “slim down” you are going to want to strength train. 💕
.
In order to build muscle you need to eat enough to FUEL your workouts 🍓
.
The only way you will get bulky is from eating more calories than your body needs. 🍪
.
Lifting weights… even heavy ones will not make you bulky.
.
That is all 👌
