While talking to a few clients this weekend, I noticed a common trend among those having a tough time, and I know I can be guilty of this too.
.
It wasn’t their fitness getting them off track. 
It wasn’t their nutrition.
It was their MINDSET.
.
Truth is your mind will often give up long before you actually need to.
.
As soon as things get challenging, or even worse, we think “we’ve failed” we beat ourselves up, and call it quits.
We tell ourselves we’re not good ENOUGH, or other people are better.
When things get TOUGH we blame ourselves and settle.
.
One thing I’m learning though is there is NEVER a reason to settle and the only way to fail is to completely stop showing up.
.
It’s all in the stories you tell yourself.
You are in CONTROL of every situation.
You get to decide to PUSH through.
Every behavior you can ALLOW to continue or stop.
.
Start telling yourself YOU CAN. You are WORTHY. You DESERVE it.

Someone graduated at 21, but waited 6 years to get a good job.
Someone had no education, but was a millionaire at 21.
Someone got married at 20, but got divorced 5 years later.
Someone got married at 30 but found everlasting love.
You’re not late.
You’re not early.
You’re on time. 💛

These shorts…
.
I remember the soul crushing feeling of having to buy these this past summer.
.
Nothing fit me and I wanted to hide in the baggiest of clothes. 
.
The one thing I had always loved, working out was the most frustrating thing in the world.
.
I felt slower. Heavier. And started to isolate myself from everything I loved.
.
When I decided enough was enough I took it one step at a time.
.
I focused on the 24 hours in front of me.
I found clothes I would be comfortable in now.
I worried only about the next meal, and not the weekend, obstacles ahead, or all the things I couldn’t have.
.
I didn’t see progress as quickly as I wanted to but I continued to take it one day at a time.
.
I share this because I know the fitness journey can be frustrating.
.
I know your body may not always change as quickly as you like.
.
I know the scale can move much slower than you want.
.
But I promise if you’re taking steps forward you’re making progress.
.
Notice the small stuff.
The clothes that fit better.
The workouts that feel easier.
The energy you have that wasn’t there before.
.
Results will come.
.
Take it one day at a time. 💛
