SCREW THE SCALE

I am sharing this with you today to point out one simple fact.  Things take time.  All things take time.  Patience is the only way to succeed anything great and worthwhile.  

Yes I look great in both, and I am not showing this as a typical before and after.  I wasn’t even trying to change my body after the first photo.  I just started shifting my diet a little more by not drinking any beer haha (I am serious haha), and staying away from added sugars, and simply just putting in more effort in the gym with the help of my lovely guides!  

To the left was BEFORE I started my guides, and to the right was AFTER a year or so of doing them.

I do and still do my 30 DAY AB CHALLENGE and LOVE HIIT BODY GUIDE religiously.  Not the 5 days a week all the time on my ab challenge, but I do at least 3 days a week.  Sometimes I will just do 3 rounds instead of 4 rounds

 My LOVE HIIT BODY GUIDE, I repeat that program every 4 weeks, and challenge myself to get better every month, by upping my weights a little or adding a round.  They’re 4 rounds in each work out, and sometimes I didn’t finish all 4, but I can tell you doing it for over a year now, I complete 4 every time.  

You have to do it at your own pace, and chip away at it little by little.  I focus on 2 muscle groups each day.  That is when you will start to see the biggest change in your body.  AND not just your body.  You will feel so much better, have more energy, have a clear mind and just flat out awesome.

Just a little more effort every single day.  Little by little I will chip away.  Still living life and enjoying myself.  I don’t completely restrict myself from foods I want either.  My 7 DAY MEAL PLAN, has helped me discover new ways to eat.  I talk a lot about my MACROS in this post you can read up on.

The whole point of this post is, that change happens slowly.  Progress happens slowly.  If you put in the time little by little everyday, make healthy choices,  you will start to see your progress slowly happening, and then all of the sudden you look back and realize how much you have changed.  

Another reason why I HIGHLY recommend taking progress photos.  We become blinded by our progress if not, then we start looking at the scale and blah blah.  Do me a favor guys?  Just stop getting on the scale.  Don’t get on it.  If you want to, then limit it to once a month.  

Muscle weighs more than fat, plus water weight happens and the scale… it just doesn’t matter! Can I also tell you another thing??  To the left I weigh 121.  To the right I weigh 126.  I feel better at 126!

K going to wrap this up guys, but I just wanted to share this because I want you all to see that it takes time!  Don’t get overwhelmed by it.  Just take it one day at a time.

I recently asked what are some of your struggles with your fitness and health journey, on my instagram.  I am going to be covering those topics within the next week!

I am going to start with “How do I keep motivated?” I got this question a couple times, along with feeling to tired to work out.

 

Okay so there are things that can keep you motivated,  you just have to find those things that keep YOU motivated.  I am constantly having to keep things interesting, or else I do get bored.

I will share some ideas for you, that keep me motivated to give you ideas.

  1. Cute work out clothes.. I know but this really does work.  That or some cute nikes. LOVE THESE, and my favorite pants EVER are THESE.
  2. Bikini Season is around the corner.  So that is a huge motivator for me.
  3. I constantly remind myself how good I feel after a good sweat session!  
  4. I have more energy and I am in a much better mood throughout the day, if I start if off right!
  5. Stay eating healthy, and you will want to get moving everyday!  My Meal Plan will help give you tons of healthy recipes!  
  6.  The harder you work, the more results you’re going to end up seeing so I always keep that in my mind!
  7.  Guys I LOVE my LOVE HIIT BG because I NEVER hit a plateau.  It is constantly keeping me on my toes haha.  I continue to see improvement every month that I do it!  I have been doing it for a year now!  Read about it by clicking that link.
  8.  Hold yourself accountable with your goals by sharing them with say, your husband or a family member or friend.   Check in with them weekly and tell them you want their help!
  9.  Do it for someone!  For example, I want to look good for my husband and I always want to keep him on his toes haha.   Lets be honest, men are visual.  I want him to stay attracted to me always and want to be sexy for him.  Not that he is just attracted to the only fit Sara haha, but I like to keep things spicy.
  10.  Lastly, take progress photos!  Get in a the same swim suite every week, or bra and underwear, in good lighting and take a photo of your progress.  This totally is such a motivator!  You will be amazed at the difference you see by doing this!   Sometimes we become blinded by our progress because we look at ourselves everyday, so try this out!

What are some things you guys do to stay motivated?  

Have a great day!
