There are only 2 directions you can go
When it comes to hitting your health and fitness goals, there are only two directions you can go…
Forwards or backwards.
The question you want to ask yourself is, a month from now, six months from now, a year from now…
Do you want to be closer to your goals (or maybe even hit your goal by that time)...
Or do you want to be further away from your goals?
That’s up to you…
And that’s a good thing because it means you’re in control of what happens.
Every time you choose to move your body - whether it’s for 5 minutes or 30 minutes - you take one step closer towards achieving your goal…
Every time you choose to eat an egg omelette for breakfast instead of a bagel with strawberry cream cheese - you take one step closer towards achieving your goal…
Every time you choose to drink water instead of cracking open a can of Pepsi - you take one step closer towards achieving your goal…
All of the choices add up and they’re all steps in the right direction…
The reverse is true, too…
When you choose to skip your workouts or to hit Taco Bell on the way home from work…
You don’t just “stand still”...
You move backwards and further from reaching your goal.
Life can be unpredictable sometimes and there may be days where you can’t get to your workout…
And there are some days when you just want to say “screw it” and order a pizza and drink a couple of drinks…
But the goal isn’t to be perfect…
It’s to make more choices that bring you closer to your goal than choices that drive you further away from your goal.
Yeah, “perfection” is going to help you get to where you want to be, faster…
But if you aren’t perfect (I’m not) then even though it might take you a little longer to get to where you want to be…
You’ll get there eventually as long as you are making more positive choices than negative ones...
And if you’re interested…there is a way to start being more accountable to moving closer to your goals. I have 3 spots open for online nutrition and/or fitness coaching and all you need to do is fill out this no commitment application...apply here.
Listen, I get it, you know what do to, you have done it before and you are sure you can do it again, but WHY are you having to do it again, and again, and again. Why are those habits not sticking? Why do you keep falling back into your old ways? A piece of the puzzle is missing and that is where a second set of eyes comes into play.
I use invest in a coach every time I want to get ready for a photoshoot or competition, why... accountability, I always learn something new about my body and nutrition and someone to rely on to get me to where I want to go.
The choice is yours to move closer or further away from goals. Will your future self thank you or no?
