Fitness Motivation

So at the end of February i won the Pure Gym #bringingit photo challenge. Yay me! !

Winner!!

This was about posting a creative photo with inspirational, motivational content. For those who have embarked on a fitness or fatloss journey will know too well the discipline and determination involved to maintain and not give up hope.

Why do we sometimes give up?
This could be because we are not seeing the desired results quickly and as such we lose motivation. Its all about patience and consistency. Slowly slowly catchy monkey..

I began my fat loss journey in june 2017 and todate i have lost 28lbs

Before and after pic

This involved a change in mindset, food and exercise. I started with high amount of cardio in the first 5 months and then decreased cardio and increased my strength training. My body shape has changed and have become much leaner.

What keeps me on track?
I create small goals every other month rather than one main goal eg, summer holiday as once thats come and gone its easy for all your hard graft to be undone.

For me it's about moderation. I still enjoy my treats but i know the next day i will go hard in the gym. Clean eating doesnt have to be boring, you can be creative.

Protein, protein, protein

I have used protein shakes by Purition which come in a variety of flavours like coconut, strawberry and chocolate. It is almond based so great if you like nuts but not so great if you dont or have a nut allergy. I found the powder easy to blend with a smooth texture and can be used as a meal replacement. I was also creative by mixing it with greek yoghurt and adding fruit. Delicious.

So my journey continues as i set myself new fitness goals.
