Still going

Just look- it's out there. What am I talking about? MOTIVATION!!!!! Everyone gets comfortable and slacks off now and again but how do you get out of that mind frame and back to your top game. We know all the things we should be doing, just do it right? If it were just that simple. So many excuses are so easy to blame when all in all it comes down to one thing. You, You , you and only YOU! I was my own road block from success. Sometimes we just have that feeling of why don't I want this bad enough, why can't I stick to my plan, and the list of frustration could go on and on.
So I have my zone and I'm in it but then the fear of how long can I keep this up? Or when is my next crash day? STOP RIGHT THERE. Do those thoughts sound familar? I'm setting myself up for failure and so are you.
1. Negative thoughts aren't going to help-

You don't have time to fit in exercise because you are too busy feeding your mind excuses, just stop and do what you need to do. Smile and feel great. Plain and simple you don't have time for for negativity. It is your choice how you deal with things.

2. Take one day at a time- Make small goals so you can get into a routine whether you feel like doing it that day or not make it a routine.
3. Visualizing the wrong things-Instead picture yourself where you want to be and how you will feel because the fat sloppy feeling just ain't doing it.

So I have been working on this Paleo diet and I won't lie. It has been tough for me, but I'm still going and with each failure I get right back up. The more I stick with it, the more it pays off. Why am I doing this? Because I know it will get me the results I want.Right now I'm at 122 and strong. I have set a small goal of just 4 days stictly Paleo. I'm two days in and 2 days to go. At first I was just asking two weeks but that seemed to far out of reach. Instead I'm setting a small goal so I can get there and feed off of that accomplishment. Two steps forward and one back is still movement. To start with I took something that I enjoy and look forward to doing everyday and when and only when I completed the 4 days could I get that back. But after just two days I was wanted to break and give in. Mentally it is challenging and our mind is our worst enemy. I needed something more to get me to finish. So what got me motivated? Last night I was searching for something to help get me through the next two days because at any moment I felt I could just give in and say it isn't worth it. And I found this

Here’s an inspiring quote I love to read when I feel like throwing in the towel – believe it or not, it’s taken directly from the movie ROCKY BALBOA

“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!”

At the end of the day, you have to inspire and motivate yourself – And only you know how to do that. Hang in there, don’t give up – If you can persevere, you can get there.
