I'm doing well how do I keep it up?
October 19, 2021
I'm so glad you asked! Sometimes when you're on a roll you get scared you are going to lose your momentum and I'm here to tell you how you can keep it.
1. Keep doing what you're doing but make sure you do not burn yourself out.
I'm so excited that you're excited but running fast at the beginning of the marathon does not guarantee first or that you can even finish. It's about pacing yourself and knowing when to take a day (or three) off.
2. Make it balanced.
If you're following my meal plan go off of it once a week - utilize you're dining out feature. If you're just workout/stretching then make sure you do not cut out your favorite foods cold turkey. Eat what makes you FEEL your best mentally and physically.
3. Habits.
It takes 21 days to build a habit and habit trumps motivation almost every single time. Why? Because you know how good you feel if you do it vs when you don't.
4. Do it for the right reasons. Workout for your mental and physical health. Your body shape could be/is a bonus. What I want is to go to the gym for a clear mind, happy/healthy heart, purpose, feeling good, because you like what you're doing, self accolades, and accomplishment not because you hate the way your body looks - that is not sustainable.
5. Switch it up. If you're part of my DFit programs I change your program every 4 weeks so you get stronger and have different exercises! I also encourage my clients to get active and their 8- 10k steeps a day in fun ways! It's about getting moving! Go hiking, biking, swimming, take a Zumba class. Do what makes you happy. Getting active is what's important.
