This week was my 3rd week in my new job, I have set up 8 houses fully with all items needed to live in them, its been so full on and pretty tiring, but at the end of each day this week I have made my way to the gym and I can HONESTLY say that I havent had BURSTS of motivation (apart from Wednesdays weigh in which was 89 kg! Finally back in the 80's!).
This weeks' mindset lesson is on motivation. Michelle talked about not needing to be wound up and pumped to exercise or eat right, she talked about needing to be CONSISTENT. Take the emotion out of exercising, take the "I dont FEEL like exercising" and turn it into "this is just part of my routine". I'm proud of myself for making exercise simply a part of my day, finish work, get changed, drive to the gym, exercise for 1-2 hours, come home, prepare healthy low cal dinner, clean up, shower, bed.
This has become a part of my life and I now dont NEED to be motivated to get fit (then stay fit), after I achieve my goal I wont have the same motivation I have now which is to get fit and toned, once I'm fit and toned having the attitude that EXERCISE is a part of my life and I will consistently turn up to exercise.
TOOLS for Success:
1. Flex your willpower muscle (didnt know if I could keep going some days this week during a class but I FLEXED my willpower muscle and did it anyway!)
2. DONT THINK! - Go into ROBOT mode! Dont think about things, just make things a habit
3. 10 MINUTE RULE - Days I dont feel like training, adopt 10 minute rule, just do 10 minutes and if I dont really feel like training - its all about turning up and getting it done
4. JFDI - Just Freakin' Do It!!
Anyway, will post again in a minute with my goals for the last 6 weeks. So far I've lost 4kg and now fit nicely into my jeans and denim short skirt.
