Remind Yourself of Your Goals Frequently

Thought I'd put some previous gifs together to form a single picture...feel free to share it on your blog or website.

See The You That You Want To Be

Seeing is believing!...and once you believe you can do it, nothing will stand in your way.

Think Of How Strong You're Going To Be

 Don't think about how weak you are, think of how strong you're going to be

You Don't Have To Do It Perfectly

Even though you think you'll do really badly in your next workout, do it anyway. An imperfect workout is always better than no workout.

Move Your Body

Fight that urge to do nothing...some exercise every day, even if it's just for a few minutes, is always better than doing nothing at all.

Just Keep Going

Don't expect to achieve all your fitness and weight loss goals overnight. You will take many steps forward and many steps backward, but if you stick with it and never give up, you will gradually get stronger, fitter and slimmer.

Take One Step Forward No Matter How Small

Small steps lead to big change. As long as you make movement toward a goal, that's what matters most on your journey.

Be Willing To Experience Temporary Discomfort

Be willing to experience a little pain and discomfort on your weight loss and fitness journey...you cannot achieve success without it...no pain, no gain.

Don't Feel Like Working Out? Do It Anyway

When you don't feel like working out....

1. Do it anyway
2. Put on dance music and move!
3. Do it anyway, just not as long.
4. Remind yourself why you started 
5. Put on your workout clothes
6. Look at your before pictures
7. Read some motivational quotes
8. Focus on the rewards
9. Read weight loss/fitness success stories
10. Focus on how good you'll feel once you're done

Make Yourself Strong

Plan What You'll Eat

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. 

Do The Work See The Results

Don't be upset by the results you didn't get with the work you didn't do.

Do Something Differently

If you always do what you've always done, you will get what you've always got.

Make Time To Create The Life You Want

If you don't MAKE TIME to work on creating the life you want you’re eventually going to be forced to spend a lot of time dealing with a life you don't want. -Kevin Ngo

The time will pass anyway...either you spend it creating the life you want or spend it living the life you don't want...the choice is yours.

If It Doesn't Challenge You It Doesn't Change You

Man cannot remake himself without suffering for he is both the marble and the sculptor. -Alexis Carrel

I love this quote because it so aptly explains the struggle we face to 'remake' ourselves into the fitter version of ourselves.
