Motivation Monday!

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!
