I’ve reached a point where my coffee needs coffee and sleeping for 3 years feels like a solid plan. . . . . #tired #soverytired #tiredaf #sleepytime #hustle #holidaymadness #didimentionimtired #causeiamHow about a little real talk? . Today I woke up at 4:30am for work after not getting a lot of sleep. I worked my 8 hours, ran errands, did laundry and even though I didn’t want to, I got my workout in. . I was tired. I could have easily justified skipping it. But I made myself a promise and I’m tired of letting myself down. . Any of this sound familiar? . If it does and if you’ve pushed through and gotten it done, then you know how grateful you felt that you kept that promise to yourself. . When I completed this workout I ended up feeling reenergized, I had more focus and I felt proud...proud that I didn’t let myself down. Proud that I pushed myself. Proud that I made my health a priority. . Now I’m not saying that if you’re genuinely exhausted you need to push through. I’m saying that it’s easy to use being tired as an excuse and you know when you’re bullshitting yourself because it’s the easier route to take, so be mindful of that. . If you’re legit exhausted go take a nap or a get a full nights rest...the gym will be there in the morning and you can crush your workout instead of half assing it and injuring yourself. . So raise your hand if you worked out today ...you can raise your hand if you used an excuse today too. Either way, you’re on a path to a better version of you because showing up and owning your shit is half the battle.This sweatshirt might just be my new favorite thing. Be prepared to see me in it often over the next week 👍🏻 . Also, I’m aware I fell off the wagon with my December photo challenge. Life gets busy and I had to sacrifice something other than my sanity. . . . . #ohsnap #oldnavystyle #hollyjollychristmas #sundayselfie #tiredaf #holidaystyle #ootd #aboutme #decemberchallenge #decemberphotochallengeJust because you lose the weight doesn’t mean you’ll forever keep it off. . The photo on the left was taken 1.5 years ago. I allowed myself to slip into old habits and as a result I gained back 30 pounds. . I was so mad at myself because I SWORE I would never return to a place that made me so miserable. I was angry at the situation I put myself in, but I wasn’t doing anything about it and THAT was the biggest problem. . A month after this photo was taken I joined a gym (which is something that scared the hell out of me) and I began researching keto. . The combination was what I needed to find my groove again and get back to being the best version of me I can be. . Weight loss is something you will always have to work at. There will be ups and there will be downs...just remember that YOU are ALWAYS in control of changing the direction in which you are moving. . . . . #transformationtuesday #fitnessjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #progressnotperfection #realtalk #winsomelosesome #fitfoodie #failforward #unfuckyourselfPlaying catch up... Days 7 & 8 a winter sight & decorations. . The decorated Christmas tree counts as a winter sight right?! 🤣 . I love seeing everyone’s trees in my feed this time of year! . . . . #decemberchallenge #decemberphotochallenge #ochristmastree #christmastree #christmasdecorations #falalalala #merrygrinchmasWhenever I’m feeling stuck or like I’m failing at this healthy lifestyle stuff, I look back at old photos and remember how far I’ve come. . You’ll never be perfect so quit adding that extra stress to your life. . Just be the best version of yourself you can be daily. Understand that m&m’s and pizza happen but that’s just ONE meal or snack. It doesn’t HAVE to be a gateway to a binge weekend. . Progress over perfection is the key. Once I realized that, the change REALLY began to happen. . . . . #facetofacefriday #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #progressnotperfection #perfectlyimperfect #unfuckyourself #fitfoodie #weekendmood
