Where is the Motivation?!

Where do you find your motivation?!  

As a stay at home mom of 3, there is no shortage of things to do.  What there is a shortage of?  Energy, and time. 

 So where do you find your motivation for things that are outside of the "scope"  of being a stay at home mom? We all have to do dishes, laundry, cleaning, cooking, wipe noses, clean hands, entertain children...etc.  The list really goes on.  So where do you get the motivation to do things like working out?  Something that is really hard, but enriches your life and make you sigh with happiness as you lay in bed exhausted...

A.)  You need to plan. Even if your day does not go as planned, at least you have a blueprint.  Something guiding you towards your next task. And your plan needs to include your workout!  If you don't schedule a time to workout, you are less likely to workout!

B.)  Get a coach.  Someone who is tuned into your needs, and can help you when you lack the motivation.  Because working out is hard.  And when your significant other looses motivation, and you lose motivation.  Who is going to push you?!  Your coach!!  Why?!  Because they have your health in mind and they know what your goals are.  If you feel like you are alone in your fitness journey, reach out to me or another coach- you aren't alone!  

C.)  Find motivation in the progress pictures, in the changes in your diet.  Find motivation in clothes fitting you in a new and better way.  You can also find motivation in the change in the scale (not my preferred method, but we all check!).

I am going through my own fitness journey, but I need motivation as well.  I have my own personal coach, who pushes me and helps me to be better (and guess what... we have never even met in person but she pushes me to be a better person).

Everyday is not lollipops and rainbows in the land of spandex and sports bras.  It is hard work.  But the hardest work gives the greatest satisfaction.

Life is hard, but we can choose how we view it, and whether we sit by and watch everyone else be happy.  Everyone can be happy, everyone can be better, and we can do it together!

I would love to be your coach! email me: laurenjanu@gmail.com
