Day 129: How to Stay Motivated



Too many people go through this each day! Suck it up and just go today and get it done.  Stop procrastinating!


Hey hey hey yall!

I am soon departing to sunny Florida for my best friends graduation from Law School (Go Shakema...So proud of you).  I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ready for this getaway!  It is much needed and deserved.  I have been working so hard professionally and physically and this break will be a great time to relax mentally and physically.  I still plan to have healthy breakfast's and maybe at night do some crunches, push ups and squats but nothing to hard core and I may not even do anything hahahahaha! I made sure to get in intense workouts since Sunday since I knew I wouldn't be doing all that during my vacay and know I plan to induldge in Bahama Breeze's key lime pie! Can't wait to hang with my bestie and enjoy the time away from home.  This all brings me to my point of today's post....MOTIVATION. 

When you are motivated and work hard it is okay to take time for yourself and have a break every now and then.  Treat yourself and no when you need to take a break!  I have had a little issue of feeling guilty when I have a treat but I do not deal with that anymore.  I work very hard and you just have to find a balance between the things that you love to do, eat, engage in and the things you need to do for yourself in order to make sure you are doing what you need to have a healthy life of exercise and clean eating.  So do your best to stay motivated and when you don't feel motivated find a way to do the right thing.

I found an article that is a good read on how to stay motivated. You can find the link below.  It suggests things that I have heard from others.  For instance, if you want a piece of cake at a party instead of having the whole thing, have the discipline to take a very small piece or only have 2 or 3 bites and be done with it.  It helps you get the urge away and you feel satisfied as well.  I have done it and it was a little tough at first but it does work.  I think about where I want to be with my fitness goals or how hard I have worked out.

So keep up the hard work for those who have been on track and for those that haven't get on it and start!

I will be posted next week! This is my last post until I get back from my vacay to Florida. Until then...workout and keep it up.  Only you can make that change that you want!
