Struggling to stay motivated?

Once you start on a journey of a lifestyle change, how do you stay motivated?  



Motivation is what got you started...  but HABIT is what is going to keep you going...


Here are some tips that I have practiced that have helped me stay motivated.



1: Plan for an event. If you plan for a vacation a couple months out , it gives you prep time and a goal to strive for. Setting that short term goal helps you stay accountable because you know you'll be in a swimsuit or hanging out with people or wearing a little black dress. 

2: Publicly tell people what you are doing. Sure you'll get resistance from some people, but most people really want to see you succeed! Plus, this helps keep you accountable!! People will notice changes... They will ask you how you are doing with your results and if they see progress, I guarantee they will join you and you will then have added support. 

3: Get on a program. There are tons of programs, some for free, others with a fee. Regardless, having things plotted out for you keeps the monotony at bay and provides a different style of training. You'll be more educated and well rounded in your own program design after that.
