Motivation Monday

Welcome to Motivation Monday! Maybe this is the day you decide to start your own exercise journey. Maybe it's the first day of your exercise week like me. Either way you're doing an awesome job!!! Because it's Motivation Monday I wanted to share some of the most inspiring pictures/quotes that have really helped me and I hope they'll help you stay motivated as well.

This was especially helpful to me when I first start exercising. I was easily frustrated by not seeing instant results and feeling like I wasn't doing enough. We knew we had to start out slow so we could build up to being stronger and exercising longer.

I am constantly having to remind myself of this. Especially when I'm waging war with my scale!

I wish so badly that I would have started 4 + years ago. I have given up a lot in the past because of how long it was taking. I could have just gotten healthy then! I am changing now though and that's what counts.

This is very, very true. I have said before that I have to fight with my mind. I thought I couldn't do it, but I can!! The more I can, the more I do! 

This one has helped me recently. I've been in a funk I guess. I cannot give up now because all of that hard work will have been for nothing. Gotta keep looking forward!!

This is the last picture for Motivation Monday. I used to think, "Oh I ate that bag of chips so I blew my healthy eating for the day. I'll just eat an entire pizza and try again tomorrow." WRONG! You get a second chance every SECOND!! Just two days ago I had a beer and decided, "Well I already screwed up and drank away a bunch of calories I may as we'll enjoy my night..." I was wrong. I ended up dumping the other half of my second beer down the sink. I know, I know.... precious beer!! And having A beer isnt entirely bad at all. It wasn't about the beer though, it was the choice and self control to change my second chance. I ended up working out instead. :-)

I would love to read some motivational quotes that have helped you, or any feedback you may have in the comments below.

I hope you will all have a fantastic week! You're doing great!! Thanks for reading.
