How to stay MOTIVATED with your fitness goals

The New Year is HERE!!  We are all feeling motivated to reach our fitness goals for 2015, but how do you STAY motivated once February gets here?   Here are 5 tips from me to you to kick this year's butt!  

1. Take it DAY by DAY: If you have a lot to lose (like me) it can be really daunting to think about the time it will take to reach your goal. Focus in getting through TODAY. All of the good days add up to BIG results in the long run!

2. Join an accountability group: Social media makes it SO easy to stay accountable with groups of people who have similar interests and goals as you! Utilize this technology! The extra support and motivation can be MIND BLOWING! What's better than being supported by those who GET what you are going through? (Feel free to contact me if you need hooked up with a group.  )

3. Switch it up: Doing the same old workout routine or eating the same meal plan can get boring. Keep it exciting by keeping LOTS of variety in your activity and menu. You are more likely to stick to something if your mind, body, and palate are constantly being challenged.




























4. GET OUT of your comfort zone!! This one is HUGE. Change doesn't happen when we stay comfortable. Try something new. Do something you never imagined yourself doing. What's going to stop you? What's the worst that could happen? How do you know if you will LOVE something if you never try?? Things I recommend to try: running a 5k, attending a CrossFit class, kickboxing, and hula hooping!

5. Start reading/listening to personal development and actively working on your personal growth: I swear I'm not crazy...I started doing this a few months ago and my life is changing for the better. Focusing on your personal growth will motivate you in ALL aspects of your life. (If you aren't sure what personal development/growth is, or you'd like some suggestions on where to start, shoot me a message!)
