We all want quick results. We want to get stronger faster or lose weight faster but the problem with this is it isn't realistic.
Progress takes time so when we set a goal we need to understand it will take time to accomplish. This is where people get overwhelmed and quit.
So this year when you set your goals I want you to try this.
🏋️♀️ Set your large overall goal
🏋️♀️ Break that goal into smaller goals
🏋️♀️ Work on achieving the small goals 1 at a time. Once you've accomplished 1 move to the second.
🏋️♀️ Keep your focus on the smaller goals rather than the overall goal
We continue to be motivated and excited when we have success. If your goal is to lose 50 pounds breaking the goal into 5 10 pound steps gives you 5 chances to celebrate your success!
Anytime I see someone promising quick results a red flag goes up. If we are talking weight loss than a reasonable amount of weight to lose per week is about 1/2 a pound to a pound. If your original goal was to lose 50 pounds that is about a year of work.
I'm not saying this to discourage you but I want you to go into your weight loss goals with a realistic expectation! Choose a path that allows you to build healthy habits while losing the weight!
Happy Saturday! I wanted to hop by and give you this important message for this weekend because I hear a lot of this going around!
Do not punish yourself with exercise. When you get into that mindset you will start resenting working out because you will associate it with something negative rather than all the positive it brings.
I totally get not wanting to lose your progress but it is not going to happen with one meal or in one day or really one weekend!
If you can relate to this I want you to do this...
Each morning when you get up be intentional about how you will show up that day. Will you do your workout? Will you focus on your nutrition? Will you go to the party and have one margarita and then seltzer? Pick your one way to show up and stick to it and let the rest happen. Remember this is for a day, not every single day. One day letting yourself eat outside your plan is going to be ok!
Have fun and make good memories, and please be safe! Uber is a fantastic ...
