How to stay motivated
longer... together.
1. Set goals
Make sure when you are
setting goals there are both long term and short-term goals. For example my long-term
goal is to weigh around 135-140 lbs. This is a long term goal because it does
not come easy to loose weight, I also have to take into consideration that my
body fat percentage will change, and I will lose fat and gain muscle which is
more dense than fat. My short-term goals are to exercise daily, drink my
shakeology daily, and also practice healthier meal options. I am doing all of
these everyday to make sure that I can stay on track. Your nutrition is 70% of
your results stay on track with your eating and you will do great.
2. Get together with a
group or a friend.
Get together with some
friends, join a challenge group, or do it with a family member. Layout what you’re
looking for, and what they are and be each other’s support. Challenge groups
are a great way to stick to it because there are often times incentives.
3. Make physical activity
apart of your day
Do anything you can to
get MORE activity into your day. Take the stairs, do some squats at your desk,
do anything and everything you can to get your hear rate up a little bit
multiple times a day.
4. Write your goals down
This is a fun one. Get a
big piece of tag board, and split it in half, now on one side (at the top)
write long term and on the other side short term. Write your goals big and hang
it somewhere you will look at it and READ it everyday.
5. Be flexible
Yes, you can schedule
your workout and make your meal plan but also plan for your plans to fail, be
flexible. Make sure you have healthy options that are quick and easy to eat,
and make sure that you have time to fit your workout in at another time incase you
miss your time scheduled.
6. Make it fun
Try new things! There are
all kinds of programs, or classes out there for you to try; a lot of the trial
classes are free. Get off the couch and pop in your new Brazil Butt Lift DVD or
go out and try that yoga class. Make sure you don’t feel bad about doing your
workout. It is all about your mindset. Go in motivated and positive; come out
with even more results.
7. Reward yourself
All those little
milestones you will be hitting along your journey are going to be HUGE looking
back, so make sure you are rewarding yourself. For example you stuck to your
scheduled workouts for the week. That is great work! Go out and get a new pair
of grip socks, or a new sports bra. Anything that will motivate you to do it again,
do it!
