Wellness Wednesday – Fluffy to Fabulous – 3 tips to keep you motivated along your fitness journey

Fluffy to Fabulous - Forearms today, something else next week. Working it out one body part at a time.

Do you remember my new motto…? Fluffy to Fabulous. Feel free to take this journey with me. Write down what fabulous looks like for you. It could mean fitting into a dress that has taken up residence in the back of your closet for months or making healthy food choices.

Did you write down your “fabulous statement”? If not, do it now, I’ll wait…daydream…and wait some more….

Okay, ready? Close your eyes and visualize yourself at that fabulous state. Keep that picture in your mind when you feel like you’re veering off track from what you want to accomplish. What will it take to keep you motivated? Here are 3 tips to get you started

1.      Read something inspirational every day. It could be a quote, a favorite scripture or a mantra that you repeat though out the day.

2.      Reward yourself – treat yourself with something special each time you experience success. For example – maybe walked away from that chocolate chip muffin in the break room at work (on wait, that’s me). Your reward could be a warm bubble bath with your favorite music filling the room.

3.      Accountability partner – have someone you can talk to about your journey. Rest assured, somebody has been where you are. For the challenge that I’m participating in, we have a Facebook group where we can share recipes, talk about our struggles and share sound advice.

4.      Take a selfie…at a long angle, so you look slimmer. This is called “fake it until you can make.”
