About this episode
When it comes to your fitness, do you tend to follow a plan..or your mood? Maybe you’re not feeling motivated to work out, track your macros, or drink more water. Maybe you’re just not seeing the progress you thought you would by now, so you’re ready to say ‘f*ck it’, and throw in the towel all together. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this from ladies over the years; I’ve felt like this many times too, but I’ve still showed up, and put in the work anyway. When it comes down to it, you should NOT be making decisions on your fitness journey, solely based on how you feel! There are some factors to keep in mind here, like following a fitness plan that allows for flexibility so you actually CAN be consistent with it. When you start something that is doable for you in your current season of life, you’re way more likely to stay committed to it. Perfection is never required when it comes to your health and fitness, and it’s vital that you look for positive progress outside of just your body weight (like your nutrition, workouts, water intake, sleep, mindset, etc.). Getting into the habit of doing the boring and ‘unsexy’ stuff really matters, and even more so when you’ve hit a plateau, or just aren’t ‘feeling it’. Yes, your feelings are very real and valid, BUT..that doesn’t mean they’re facts. I hope this episode is a valuable reminder for you to not only give yourself some grace (we all need it sometimes), but also, show up regardless of how you feel. I want you to get shit done so you can enjoy your life - this is how you unf*ck your fitness, friend!
