How do you stay disciplined?

You have to want a better life for yourself. You have to want better for your child.
You have to fight through the pain
fight through the stagnant areas even when you don’t feel motivation, be your own motivation.
It’s mind over matter. I don’t mean this harsh in anyway Because honey I go through the same thing.
I’ve been on my fitness journey for a couple of years now and I’m finally at my goal weight, but I have complacent tendencies. So what keeps me going is literally mind over matter and of course my faith in God on the days that I feel like I have no strength that’s where I find my strength. God bless wishing you progress on your journey. Remember, it’s not about perfection


progress over perfection

You have to make it a lifestyle

There are a lot of times when I don’t want to workout but staying consistent is important so you won’t stop after a week. Now I will get on the treadmill on incline when I don’t feel like working out. It doesn’t take much energy and it helps me stay consistent.

It’s a lifestyle for me. I find classes better. I go every week twice a week knowing it’s on same day same time, gives me routine and a break out of the house. I still go to my hobbies on my period, since I don’t get cramps I just feel bloated mainly. Music also helps. I tell myself I’m gonna do squats for 3 songs and I end up going to 5-6 songs doing other stuff like weights coz I’m enjoying the music lol. Try the 75softchallenge, the book for accountability is like $10 on shein. Ticking it off day by day and giving myself a reward at the end of it all (like a big Shein order lol) helps me push through. Because my classes are prepaid (doesn’t go to waste if I don’t go though it just adds up) I look forward on days I have dance class.

I definitely feel back pain more when I’m less active as well! Surprisingly I found a foam roller class on peleton (I’m sure there are some on YouTube too) to help get tightness out of my glutes and legs that helped way more than I thought! Would love to chat more, just message me!

Same with me. But, I stopped making excuses. Even if i am sick or on my period, i still get some movements in. People say that after 90 days it becomes a habit. So, keep pushing yourself. You can do it. I am working 10+ hours a day now because busy season and I have a toddler. I am still exercising 4-5 times a week.

What keeps me disciplined is making my goal tangible. So for example I have this outfit that I want to wear for my 35th birthday this November. Knowing that helps me stay disciplined.
