Motivation
Challenge yourself
There's nothing I hate more than seeing women in the gym using weights a fraction of what I know they can really lift. Give me a break. Challenge yourself! If you don't, you're never going to see the kind of results you want. My general rule of thumb is, when you feel like you can't do any more reps, do two more.
Stop making excuses and find the time
Everyone loves to make excuses as to why she can't do this, and why she can't do that. If someone asks me for help and in the same sentence tells me they don't have the time, I stop right there. I value my time in the gym; it's the one time during the day that I give solely to me. It's my time. It is as much a priority as going to work or to school. There are so many benefits to exercise other than getting into shape, that depriving yourself of this journey would be a shame. So stop making excuses.
Mind over matter
And, finally, this is where I truly get on my soapbox. There are so many obstacles to overcome when attempting to adhere to this program. I'm not going to lie; it isn't easy. You must be strong and stay focused on your goals. As my mother always likes to say, nothing tastes as good as thin feels. Well, I don't know about that. But surely there is a powerful message here. Sticking to your goals and following through with the plan has its merits, and the benefits far outweigh all the little cheats along the way. I know when I succeeded with my program, and I was standing on stage at my first fitness show, there was no better feeling in the world.
When I meet with friends I haven't seen in eight years and they're amazed at how much better I look, I feel great. And when I can help others attain the same goals, feel as good as I do, and make lifestyle changes for the better, I know I did the right thing
