This is not a position of defeat or weakness but one of a person that gave it their all. 👆🏼
I’m literally less than a pound away from reaching my 25 pounds weight loss mark. God knows I visioned, planed and workout my ass for this. Life happens and we stop focusing on us sometimes. I totally get it cause it happened to me. But at some point, we have to pick up the pieces and get going again. Hey, our health and happiness depend on it.
I often get asked especially lately where do I get my motivation from??MOTIVATION?? S**t, that’s not what gets me out of bed at 6:30AM to go sweat or doing double workouts after work. It’s anger that I let the ball dropped on the most important person in my life and that’s me. That should be you too. Cause when you’re happy and healthy everyone around you feels it too. What gets me going is the need to feel better in the skin I’m in. Not just at a confidence level but also physically and health wise. It’s awakening the badass that I know is inside of me. Motivation is temporary. Like the feeling, you get after you watch an incredible and inspiring movie. Or watched a P90X infomercial but then you do the first workout and end up crying cause s**t just got real and you’re looking for motivation but that bitch ran out the door the moment you pressed play and found out you can't do 1 push up. Yeah, that was me the first time I pressed play to a workout. I was literally crying in the floor feeling like a loser.. but I tried again this time around with the help from a coach and little by little I got better. Sometimes we need a little support don't you agree?? If you know my story then you know that I got so much better that I ended up losing over 90 pounds and helping others do the same. Incredibly since I've never been a fitness j***y and was hoping to lose maybe 40-50 pounds at my best. One tip I can share with you if you've been struggling in staying consistent with your journey is this. Rome wasn't built in a day and you sure didn’t gain all that weight in a day either. So be patient and enjoy the journey.
Back to what has kept me going. The urgency for change and a deeper why and reason why I'm doing it, not motivation. I now wake up often even before the alarm goes off and I’m so not a morning person trust and believe that!!! I'm going to be honest about some things and some of you might not like it but need to hear it just like I did when I checked myself. I had to be honest and had to stop playing the victim game. In that very moment that we stop telling and believing all the fu***ng lies, we've been telling ourselves to why is it that we can make a change. The moment you/me stop playing the victim is the moment that we get real with yourself and start making a plan as to how we're going to get started and taming the monster. Another quick tip this works for everything in life, not just health and fitness. You can apply this to relationships, finances and more. If you’re in charge you can change it and baby girl, and you’re in charge and control of your body and what you eat. If your health and fitness are one of your current monsters you're the Boss Babe so make a move. I hope that you too wake up angry and desperate for a change soon enough. Hey, maybe that day is tomorrow. I want you to know this much, things can always get better but that’s only if you want them to.
