Self Motivation is Key

 Have you ever had to rely on someone else for motivation?  I think everyone has had to at some point or another.  I want to tell you about something I have learned.  Having self-motivation  is vital in your success. 

Am I saying that if you don’t have that extra push that you won’t be successful?  Not at all.  What will happen is eventually you will have your own motivation and won’t need someone there to push you at all times.  By the way this doesn’t just apply to fitness.  This can apply to anything that has a goal to it.

What brought me to this?  Well, a few things.  For one, I realized myself that when it comes to my goals nobody is more responsible for them than myself.  

Second, I got a chance to hear one of my mentors say, “If someone has to motivate you, you’ll probably fail.”  Ya know what my first thoughts were when I heard this?  Ouch!  That’s a bit harsh don’t ya think?  But no, he was right.  Think about it, when you have someone that is there to , for example, be your gym buddy.  Well that person will not always be able to go with you.  Maybe they have a family emergency, or just don’t feel like going.  Has that ever stopped you from going b/c your gym buddy didn’t?  If you said yes, then you may lack self-motivation.  

Self motivation isn’t going to come over night.  Take small steps.  Keep reminding yourself that YOU are responsible for accomplishing your goals in life.  That YOU are the only person that can let YOU down.

I can't afford Shakeology!

Yep, I hear it all the time.  "It's just too expensive."  "It's how much?!"  "No way am I buying that."

Guess what?  I even thought the same way.  But I'll tell you something, if you sit down and really look at what you are buying at the grocery store I guarantee you can afford it.  

"I want to lose weight, but I can't afford too."  I hear this one ALL the time too.  You CAN afford to lose weight you just may not be looking in the right places. 

Think of it this way.  What is on your shopping list every week?  Or better yet, what is not on your shopping list that you grab while you are at the grocery store?  Chips?  Cake? Soda? Boxed freezer meals?  Pizza?  Popsicles? 

If you answered yes and you are trying to lose weight then you aren't going to lose weight eating these foods on a daily basis.  How much does a bag of chips cost?  Let's take Doritos Cool Ranch: $3.79 Let's say you buy 4 bags in a month.  That's $15.16 a month.  What next, cans of soda. (Prices may vary store to store I realize this, prices are found from Google Search)  A 12 pack of Coca Cola can cost $5.99.  Let's say you drink a good amount of coke and buy 4 packs a month.  That's  $23.96 a month.  So for just the Doritos and Coke we are at a total of $39.12.  Ok, Moving on.  What else did we say?  Oh, Boxed freezer meals!  Let's see.  Usually people really stock up on these.  From Hot Pockets, to tv dinner meals, to small pizzas, etc.  Let's start with Hot Pockets.  A "4-meat and cheese" box of Hot Pockets is $3.51.  Again, just for fun let's say you buy 4 of these boxes a month.  That's $14.04.  So now we are at a total of $53.16.  Now onto America's favorite!  Boxed Pizza.  Let's say every Friday you like to throw a pizza in the oven.  A DiGiorno 4-cheese pizza is $9.45.  So 4 times a month is $37.80.  So now we are at a total of $90.96.  I completly forgot, but a lot of people like to buy cookies.  So for example let's take oreos.  Say you buy 4 bags of oreos a month.  No I take that back let's say just 3 bags.  (I hope you aren't buying 4 bags a month at least)  3 bags of Oreos can run you $11.17.  (3.99 a bag) So now we are at $102.93.  Now, onto tv dinners.  Let's use Hungry Man dinners for example.  Let's say you are on the go a lot and eat 5 a week.  For 2 weeks that's 10 dinners.  A Hungry Man dinner can cost $3-$4.  Let's say $3.  That's $30 for 10 dinners.  (Some people may even eat more than that in a month)  So now we are at $132.93.

$132.93! That's a month of foods that do not need to be eaten on a regular basis.  Shakeology cost $119.00 a month.
That's $4 a serving.  You can replace one meal a day, say for example lunch, and cut out all the above junk foods and still afford Shakeology.  If you were a Beachbody Coach you would just pay $89 a month for Shakeology saving you even more!

So I challenge you to take a look at what you buy at the grocery store.  See what you can cut out of your diet that is causing you to gain weight.  Take hold of the reins of your life and make a change.  Trust me, I know from personal experience that you will be a happier person in the long run.  :o)

I hear it ALL the time. I'm sure you do too.

"I don't have time to workout!"  Is the one sentence that people love to use.  I understand that people are busy.  Busy careers, school full time, kids running around, a house to clean, etc.  Know how I know?  I used the same excuse once.  All it takes is a little planning.  For some people waking up early and getting their exercise in first works.  For some it's squeezing it in right before bed time.  Or maybe on their lunch break.  There is no perfect time to workout.  YOU have to find what works for you.  Once you find it you have to stick to it.  If someone tries to disturb your workout time, politely explain to them how important it is that you get your workouts in.  They may not understand.  But you know that you do. 

So now I have another point that kind of goes a long with the first point because I get this a lot too. 

"You stay at home so you have all the time in the world to workout." 
WRONG!  I have a busy day too.  Maybe not as busy as some.  But I still plan my workouts.  I still have kids to raise, errands to run, a house to clean, pets to take care of, my Beachbody Business and more.

In fact it's harder for me to maintain and lose my weight I believe.   I'll tell ya why.  When I get up, sometimes I schedule my workouts first, sometimes later on.  But as soon as I get up I go head and clean my house and get the kids up and ready for school and make them breakfast.  After that I can workout if I haven't already.  I can run my errands if need be and work on my business.  Then get supper ready to be put on the table.  After all that is done I then have to keep myself busy otherwise my mind wanders and I start to think about grabbing foods I don't need to eat.  Or I think maybe I'll want to watch some tv and sit down for a bit, when I don't need too.  If I had an 8 hour job where I was on my feet all day PLUS having to deal with my workouts, house cleaning, supper, errand running, kids, and more then to me, it would be easier to stay on top of my weight.  When we aren't distracted sometimes is when we fall off the horse.  If I end up sitting down watching tv, or eat something my body doesn't need, that's when I gain weight.  I have to stay moving, and there is only so many times I can clean my house, after that I have to come up with other ways to stay moving.  So to me, in my opinion, is why it can be harder for those that do stay home with kids, stay home in general, or work from home.

Just say NO!

Okay.  Here we go!  I've been living in TN for a couple of months now.  TN is where ALL my family live.  I have not seen some of my family in a very long time due to living in other states the past nine years.  So they are REALLY excited to have us back home.  So excited that they want to take us out to eat all the time.  At first I let them.  We have gone to Chilli's, IHOP, numerous Mexican restaurants, fast food, and more.  It's so easy to fall of the horse when you don't put your foot down and say NO!  Okay, maybe not yell it, but politely decline.  This is what I have had to do.  I keep getting asked to go out to eat with family.  Even some of the healthy meals on the menu aren't so healthy.  Some people just think that they are.  Most salads at sit down restaurants have over 800 calories in them.  800!  So from this point on I am politely declining the invitations to go out to eat.  I will cook at home where I know what goes into my food.  I will only go out to eat on occasions.  I will also stick to my workout routine with Turbo Fire daily.  I may hurt someone's feelings when I decline an offer, but that is me thinking of my health and my kids health.  If we don't have our health we have nothing.  Without our health we wouldn't be there to go out to eat on occasions.
