I love this quote from Tony Robbins!
“The only thing holding you back is you. No more excuses. It’s time to change and take your life to the next level.”
It reminds me that we each have the POWER to create change in our lives. We can choose to use our power or waste time. It’s our choice.
I remember a time when I gained 20 lbs. Those pounds snuck back on after successfully losing 30 lbs. I had allowed myself to get lazy about my eating habits. Those choices eventually showed in my energy level and how my clothes fit. I didn’t feel great and I didn’t feel great about my appearance.
The sad part is I let those pounds stick around for way too long. I KNEW I needed to recommit to living a healthier lifestyle to lose weight. But I lacked the drive to make the changes that I knew I would help me. How screwed up is that?
Thankfully, I finally stepped into “my big girl pants” and began to take steps with support from a coach/trainer. I stopped listening to my excuses. I put my energy into consistently eating well (not starving) and training with intention. I took the power back! And guess what? I lost those pounds and continued to drop body fat. The best part is I now feel less stressed, more energetic and feel more confident about my body.
Make no mistake about it, it won’t feel comfortable trying to make changes to your habits. You’ll have to get out of your comfort zone. You’ll need to try activities that you feel awkward doing. But make the changes you need and you’ll soon reach a new level.
I’m cheering for you! XOXO
