What's stopping you?

The past few days I've been thinking about what's really stopping me from reaching my goals.

The answer is simply my mind.

Sometimes you just have to think, " My long term goal is more important than what I want right now."

I do this every morning when I want to hit snooze and miss a work out and every afternoon when I have a sweet tooth and want candy.

Constantly reminding yourself that you are STRONG willed will get you to your goals.

I'm realizing now with every passing day that nothing is stopping me. It's all in my head. Do I slip up? Heck yeah all the time! I'm human! But I just remind myself of my goals and carry on.

So now I ask you, what is stopping you from achieving your goals? Whether it's to lose weight, run a faster mile, lift heavier, or eat better food. Nothing is stopping you other than your mind!

I challenge you to take a few minutes every day to reflect on your goals. It can be when you wake up over coffee or a pre work out drink, sitting in traffic, before bed or whenever you have time. I end up doing this a few times a day because that's how often I need to remind myself that candy isn't worth it! Can you say sugar addict?! Haha.

I hope this helps some of you. Just take it day by day. Set short term and long term goals and when you slip up just keep going!

I hope you're all having a great week and in honor of fit Friday here are some back progress pics:

Have a wonderful weekend!
