My point is this… when things get tough & you make the difficult decisions and sacrifices to workout & eat right anyway, you are also showing others what’s possible despite struggles…
Your kids are watching, your parents, friends, family, co-workers, your followers..People are watching and you have an opportunity to inspire. Someone needs to take lead; let it be YOU.

What keeps holding you back??
Stress? Time? Food? Wine? Work??
Making progress is all about making changes!
☝Your past and current situation only affects your progress as much as YOU let it.
Identify the triggers that stop you from making progress, create an action plan, and commit !✨👊
For those on a good path, what got YOU unstuck ?
All I know is you have to make a difficult (possibly scary) decision & then COMMIT like never before! If you feel like you just keep repeating the same vicious cycle, it’s time to take action.
You’re not stuck in your job.
You’re not stuck in your business.
You’re not stuck in a bad relationship.
You’re not stuck in your fitness.
I used to think “I could never attain that life” and I made up all kinds of excuses due to my introvert personality, my work hours, my disorganization, & my financial constraints. What I finally said was “I need to CREATE that life for myself”. No one is responsible for that but me. 🙋
There is always SOMETHING you can do or try that will give you a positive and exciting change. #JustDoIt
You find the solution.
You bring the motivation.
You create the time.
You develop the discipline.
You persist thru failure.
You envision success.
It’s all up to you✌
Whatever it is you’re pursuing, stay the course and find a way if it’s important enough to you!
Quitting is the easy way out. It’s what “average person” does when things get tough.
You weren’t created to be average☝️
Shoutout to all the parents, teachers and coaches who understand the impact their words and actions have on kids!! 🙌🏻
But we can’t shelter them from everything because they have to learn to deal with so much in the real world🌎

Avoid saying these things to yourself:
1. I’ll start tomorrow
2. I could never be that fit
3. I’ll never have that kind of success
4. I’ll do that once I’m happy with how I look
5. I can’t do that, I tried once
Listen… I’ve said all these things at one time or another & then I immediately snapped out of it!
Repeatedly say these things:
1. I start now !
2. With discipline, I can be as fit as I want to be & fitter than I’ve ever been in my life.
3. I can be as successful as anyone else. I’m in control of my success. I solve my own real & perceived barriers.
4. I respect my body NOW & I won’t take for granted what I CAN do.
5. Nothing worth doing is easy. The average person quits. I wasn’t created to be average.
Lovvvve this quote! So spot on!🎯🎯
Are you your biggest fan or biggest critic??
Don’t self destruct. Talk yourself into starting that workout. Talk yourself into eating the salad (next pic☺). You know you can accomplish whatever you set your mind to and sometimes setting your focus on getting #fit is the catalyst to success in so many other areas of your life.
So set your goals, plan your attack, and show yourself you’re in control and worth it .. slip-ups are simply are a part of the journey that gives you experience
Love this! Feel free to share!
