Motivation Monday

No one said reaching your goals, whether fitness and health or not, was going to be easy. There will be times where you feel like giving up and that you have to go back to your old ways but you can push through and achieve your goals. Everyone is looking for the quick fix to weight loss or the quick fix to eating healthier or working out more. There are thousands of posts on Pinterest that  say that they can help you lose 10 pounds in a week. As previously talked about in another post (http://theroadtobeinganrd.blogspot.com/2015/12/pinterest-diets-and-detoxes.html) , these diets and tricks really only have you lose water weight which is easily gained back. They don't teach you healthy habits or help you make lifestyle changes. Making small changes to your daily routine can help you change your life! You don't have to completely cut out your favorite food from your diet or change the way you eat all together. You have the power and the means to control what you eat and how healthy you are, you can take this information and apply it to yourself or you can just keep it in the back of your mind. Once you start contemplating making a change, you're already on your way to make that change and better yourself. Getting discouraged at some points is only part of the process. Believing in yourself and having a solid support team behind you; friends, family, significant other, coworkers, medical teams, can make you successful and stay on track with your goals. Surrounding yourself with positivity and support can only add fuel to your desire. So whenever you're down on yourself and feeling like that you're having trouble reaching your goals, look within and find that fire you had when you decided to start the journey and the process. You've got this!
