Discipline is Doing the Workout Anyway

Image
Early morning or evening , it's important not to skip your workout. Discipline is doing it anyway even when you don't feel like it. Let's face it, we all have these days.  We don't always feel like getting out of bed to that set alarm. After work we're tired and just want to get home to a hot meal and sofa time.   Sometimes it takes forcing ourselves up in the morning and splashing cold water on our face. Having our gym clothes ready to go in the car after work can motivate us to hit the gym.  Discipline is what takes us to that place called success. It's the inner force within us stronger than our negative mental game trying to sabotage our commitment to fitness.  We need to feel stronger mentally and physically and push through the hard. If we only worked out on the days we felt good, it would become a rare occasion. We can always come up with a reason not to hit they gym. It's those days we feel tired, weak, sore and mentally defeated that make for the ...

Sorta Kinda Fitness Doesn't Work

We want to be fit, feel good and look great. You may be trolling the net right now for the newest fad diet or quick fix to fitness . We struggle with giving 100 percent to getting in shape the right way. We are stuck in sorta kinda fitness. Sound familiar? We want results but just can't commit to a fit lifestyle .

We are wasting too much time and missing too many opportunities to get healthy. Why is that? What is going on in our lives where we stop making ourselves a priority? Instead of looking into the issue, we accept it as our normal. This is an unfortunate truth. We have great intentions and even put in some effort to eat right and exercise . This is awesome and to be applauded. Something happens to halt the process. Our mind plays negative games, we may hear a hurtful comment, or not seeing results causes f...

Why I Celebrate New Year But Not Resolutions

Image
Happy New Year everyone and I hope you enjoyed an amazing time with family and friends. I was thinking about resolutions and have to honestly say - not impressed. Mostly because resolutions are often just a temporary condition. Do you know the word resolution in terms of New Years means a commitment to yourself? This is awesome, and I celebrate everyone who is keeping their promise. I hope to help motivate you along the way this year to continue living a healthy lifestyle . I do have my opinions about things, not to offend, but I do like to make points about important subjects regarding health and fitness. If you're a blog follower, you know I am very candid and no BS person and trainer. I hold nothing back when it comes to motivating you with my life. Moving onto the subject of resolutions and my thoughts. I don't feel a special day is required to make a commitment to improving your health. Each day should be a commitment to do your best with making healthy choices. Are we ...
