Let’s get something straight. Motivation is unreliable. Let me say it again for those sitting in the back and need to hear it louder 📢 MOTIVATION IS UNRELIABLE! If you’re waiting to feel like it…You will always live in inconsistency. Motivation rises and falls with: – Sleep – Stress – Hormones – Workload – Kids – Mood I can't count the number of zoom calls that I have set through where the client has told me that they have lost all motivation and they were looking at me to help them find it. I can't help you find motivation BUT I can help reframe the conversation so that you can actually see from a different perspective that motivation is an ILLUSION. It's not real. I'm not motivated every day to show up and go for a walk. I'm not motivated every day to lift my dumbbells. I'm not motivated every day to get in my vegetables and make sure I eat my protein. But I do it anyways out of HABIT and because it's a part of me and a part of my identity. It's who I am. The reason some women stay consistent with workouts, protein, steps, sleep isn’t because they’re more motivated. It’s because they see themselves differently. They don’t ask:“Do I feel like working out?” They say to themselves:“I don't really feel like working out today, but I know how much better I will feel after I'm done doing it?” They don’t ask:“Should I eat something healthy for lunch?” They think:“I need to find a source of protein & some veggies so that I feel good and have good energy .” Your brain is wired for congruency. Whatever identity you claim…Your nervous system will try to prove it true. If you believe: “I struggle with consistency.” “I have no willpower.” “My metabolism is broken.” “I always fall off.” You will unconsciously create evidence for that story. The story that you tell yourself over and over again is the story that you will live out day after day. If you tell yourself you're fat, unhealthy, unmotivated, sad, ugly, whatever negative thoughts you have, if you repeat them to yourself, you will LIVE THAT LIFE. Day in and day out!!

Does breaking and shoveling the snow plow ice at the end of the driveway count as weight training type of workout? I was doing it for 45 minutes.

Chicken, veggies and brown rice. Going to add some buffalo sauce and a couple tablespoons of blue cheese.

I have done pretty good so far this week. I have been in bed by 10 every night so far. Even if I don’t sleep the full time it has helped! 😴 😊

I got 8 hours of sleep! 😴 I don’t remember the last time that happened. I was in bed at 9:30 and I didn’t get out of bed until 6! 🎉
