If being fit was easy, then everyone would be healthy!
Getting up day after day takes work and determination. You can’t set a time limit on how long it will take you to be fit and then quit once you reach your goal.
Being fit is a lifestyle; when you begin your journey, you will hate it. And that’s when you have to fake like you love, putting on your workout clothes and sweating for 30-60 minutes every day.
No one, and I mean no one, can make you love fitness or even like it. You have to have a come to Jesus moment and realize that you NEED to change.
Yes, changing your lifestyle is going to be hard
Yes, you are going to be emotional because your body is tired
Yes, you are going to want to quit after two weeks
Yes, you are going to think you deserve a cheat day after 30 days
Yes, you are going to think of every excuse why today is not a good day
Yes, you are going to want to take the easy way out (quick-fix diets)
Yes, you are going to restart day one until you get your nutrition together
~AND~
Yes, you are going to have to pretend to love working out
Yes, you are going to work out for 30-60 minutes every day
Yes, you need to surround yourself with like-minded people
Yes, you need to move in order to lose
Yes, nutrition is the key factor to being fit
Yes, 10-minute walks are crucial for your digestion 10 Minute Walks ~Down 10 POUNDS~
Yes, weights will speed up your metabolism
~AND~
Yes, you can do it
Yes, I believe in you
Yes, you are stronger than you think
Yes, YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS
Just say yes to starting again today!

Belladonna’s Flashlight 
Even if it is the afternoon, stay motivated. I am most motivated in the morning but sometimes life doesn’t let you do pt, so you do the exercises in the afternoon. Yes, walking in the morning.

I’m with you, I love working out in the morning but sometimes my day gets away from me and I have to force myself to do an evening workout 😣
They aren’t as effective but it’s something 😊
Can’t wait for the weather to turn so I can walk in the morning while the birds chirp 💖💖💖

Yes. I admit. Working out is hard. No matter how long you’ve done it, it’s still hard every time you begin your session. I’ve worked out for 10 years 3 days a week roughly 30-40 mins and every week is the same challenge. But i still do it though. Thanks for the message
