Let’s be honest! Getting fit at any age can be a challenge. Each day you’re flooded with new fitness gadgets, diet pills and get fit quick commercials. We’ve all seen them, you know what I am talking about! The commercials that promises six-pack abs with only 3 minutes of exercise per day! Or what about losing 10 pounds in 10 days while eating all the burgers you want.
Have you ever had one of those days when you counted every second until work ended? The only thing on your mind was heading straight home to put on your most comfy lounge clothes, pouring yourself a tall glass of wine and watching one of your favorite evening shows while cuddled up to your favorite blanket?
If you’ve ever set a fitness or weight loss goal and didn’t reach your desired outcome, you might have believed it was due to a lack of motivation. If this is the case, I’d like to challenge you to re-think motivation was the reason you didn’t arrive at your determined destination.
If we’re honest, sometimes it would be great to turn off all of our electronic devices, not show up for work, tell our families and friends we don’t want to talk and just take a moment for ourselves. A moment free from distractions, stressors and responsibilities! However in our fast paced digital world seldom do we make time for ourselves or our health.
