Do You Struggle to Stay Motivated?!


How many of you struggle to stay motivated?! I know that I do!!! It’s so difficult to keep your eyes on the prize and focus, because let’s face it…..it takes time to results, and when we are getting instant gratification, we lose interest. Believe me, I know!!! I have been “dieting”  and trying to lose weight my entire life! Yes….seriously my entire life. I would get real motivated for about two weeks, and just lose interested. So guess what…..I never achieved my goals because I never gave my body a chance to change. This time around has been completely different. I started this journey about 5 months ago now, and I am still as motivated as I was on day 1. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve struggled along the way. I’ve cried and screamed when I didn’t get the results I wanted. But each time I have had a setback, I reflect upon how I can change my habits and improve my results. As part of this journey, I have learned you have to be your own critic. If it’s not working, face it, and change it. Don’t continue to keep doing the same thing and expect results.
I have become part of one of the best fitness families I could ask for. These coaches are amazing and inspire so many people. They are literally there whenever I needed them. I am so happy to be a part of their coaching team now! I also found such amazing and inspiring people on Instagram. I kid you not, my feed is filled with words of encouragement and before and after pics. If there is a day I’m struggling, I literally start scrolling through Instagram and refocus my mind on my goals! I take pictures almost every day of myself working out, or showing progress. This is to remind myself of just how far I have come.
I am a completely different person than I was 5 months ago. I have a clear mind, I am focused, I am driven, and I am succeeding. I honestly didn’t know if I could do this, but look at me now! I am kicking butt! I am a happier, healthier version of myself. The old me would’ve never stuck with something this long!
I am not only improving my health, but family’s health as well! I started cooking a healthy dinner for them every night, and it’s really paying off! Just yesterday, my mom sent me an email from the doctor’s office telling me she lost 6lbs since eating clean. How awesome is that?!
Shakeology has been a huge game changer for me! Watch for my upcoming post about how Shakeology has changed this journey for me!
So here is the secret to staying motivated:
  1. Make a list of your goals
  2. Send me an email, thebulkyb@outlook.com, and I can be your coach for FREE!!!
  3. Jump on Instagram, and become a part of the #fitfam
  4. Join one of my challenge groups
  5. Get up, and start movin’
It’s honestly that simple! You have to take baby steps before you can start running. But you CAN do this! Trust me, if I am getting results, you will too! I believe in you!!!!  

XOXO
