Hey there, lovely ladies!
We’ve all been there: pumped up and ready to start our fitness journey, only to find our motivation fading after a few weeks. It’s a common struggle, but don’t worry – I’ve got your back! Today, we’ll chat about some tips to help you keep that fire burning and maintain motivation throughout your journey.
1. Set realistic goals
It’s essential to set achievable, specific, and measurable goals. Instead of aiming to lose 20 pounds in a month (unrealistic and unhealthy), try setting a goal of losing 1-2 pounds per week. Remember, slow and steady wins the race!
2. Find your “why”
Dig deep and figure out the real reason behind your journey. Is it to have more energy to play with your kids, or to feel confident in that gorgeous dress? Whatever it is, write it down and keep it visible as a constant reminder.
3. Break it down
Break your big goal into smaller, more manageable milestones. Celebrate each milestone with a small, non-food reward. This way, you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment, which will boost your motivation.
4. Surround yourself with positivity
Surround yourself with people who support and encourage you. Join a group or find an accountability buddy. You’ll be amazed at how much more motivated you’ll feel with a tribe of like-minded women cheering you on!
5. Mix it up
Boredom is a motivation-killer. Keep things fresh by trying new workouts, experimenting with healthy recipes, or setting new challenges for yourself. The more fun and variety you incorporate into your journey, the more motivated you’ll stay.
6. Visualize your success
Take time each day to visualize yourself achieving your goal. Imagine how amazing you’ll feel, and let that image fuel your motivation.
7. Don’t dwell on setbacks
We all have setbacks, but the key is not to let them define your journey. Instead of dwelling on a slip-up, acknowledge it, learn from it, and move forward. You’ve got this, girl!
8. Be kind to yourself
Lastly, practice self-compassion. Your fitness goal is a journey with ups and downs. Remember, you’re not expected to be perfect – just committed. Be your own biggest cheerleader and celebrate your progress, no matter how small.
So, ladies, let’s keep that motivation alive and kick our journey into high gear! With determination, positivity, and a little self-love, we can achieve anything we set our minds to. Let’s do this together!
With love and support,
Coach Sharon
