Hi to all of the new people who decided to follow my page 👋🏻 . My name is Nikki and I’ve been on my transformation journey for 10 years. . I say transformation and not weight loss because I discovered that it takes more than just a desire to lose weight to create results that last. . You have to get into the nitty gritty. THE MINDSET. The what makes you do the things you do. . If you don’t get into those deep corners of the mind and face the shit in there, you’ll have a very hard time keeping any results you see. . I don’t post as much gym/workout stuff as I used to, but if you want to work on your mindset...I talk about that A LOT! (Especially on the podcast...yeah...I have one of those too!) . Photos here are 20 years apart. It took me 10 years and 2 kids to FINALLY make a change. I had to #FailForward a lot of times to learn what worked for me and figure out why I kept falling into the same pitfalls. . Photo on the left is recent and it shows what you can accomplish when you #OwnYourShit and address the bullshit story you tell yourself on a daily basis. . I look forward to learning more about all of you! If you stuck by and read all of this, tell me how long you’ve been on your journey below! #transformationtuesdayIf the plan doesn’t work, change the plan. Don’t change the goal! • We are wrapping up the first week of January! How many of you were working toward a goal this week? • Let me know in the comments below 👇🏻 • Wether it’s weight loss, healthier eating, waking up earlier (or going to bed earlier) this was most likely your first attempt at things. • If you did well everyday...🎉 ...you did better than me 😂 - if you’re like me and messed up, it’s okay! • Today on the podcast I talk about how to weekly evaluation is key to success when working toward your goals. • Link to the new episode in my bio!You are more capable than you realize. . It’s normal to be scared and think you can’t do hard things. . However there comes a moment where you say... . “This is going to be tough. I’m not always going to succeed... but I’m ready to try my hardest and learn until I reach my goal.” . OR . “I can’t do this. I’m not as disciplined as they are” and you’ll go back to hating your reflection or how you have no energy because you’re scared of the unknown or of “failing”. . I’m here to tell you that you NEED to go with option A. . No! You OWE it to yourself to go with option A. . Stop selling yourself short. . Stop wishing everything was easy. . No one appreciates the easy things. And let’s be honest if eating healthy and consistently working out was easy, everyone would be in the best shape of their lives and the Health & fitness industry would be making billions of dollars every year. . So think about that this weekend. Just cause you didn’t start on the 1st or maybe you “messed up” already doesn’t mean you give up or stop. . You don’t need a Monday, the 1st of the month or tomorrow to start. You start NOW. . Own your shit. Identify what held you back. Apply the lesson and keep failing forward!What do you want to achieve in 2020?I did a Top Nine post not too long ago but someone said those are lame (@garycantrell) ...so I made one with some of my favorite moments from this year. . 1. ComicCon with my daughter 2. Scottsdale with @jimmycocoapop 3. Christmas with my son (new place) 4. My new apartment 5. Thanksgiving with the offspring. 6. My new place again. 7. Vegas with James 8. My daughter graduating HS 9. Adventures in REI w/James . It was tough to pick just 9 moments, especially with all of the travel and accomplishments I had this year. But time with these 3 have been the cherry on top of the sundae in 2019!This is the first year I have struggled with setting goals. . I don’t feel like I have a true direction at the moment. You know that big thing to check off of the list this time next year. . 2019 was a year of doing things with purpose and I achieved everything I set out to achieve...well not EVERYTHING, but I nailed the big stuff and I set some lofty goals! . Looking into 2020 I feel confused about what I’m supposed to be focusing on. There’s a bunch of “things” but they didn’t necessarily tie together like my other goals did. . Thankfully a good therapy session and some tears shed via FaceTime, with my accountability partner and biggest supporter helped a lot. . I now have a rough list of goals to develop, verbalized some shit I’ve felt for a long time but never said aloud because it hurt to do so, and I’m realizing that the “things” tie together to my BIG PICTURE more than I originally thought. . Goals can be a tricky thing and setting them can force you to grow in some big ways. (If you allow yourself to be daring) . Tonight I allowed myself to be vulnerable, which is something I am not comfortable with. AT ALL. . But you know what? . It forced me out of my comfort zone and made me take a crucial step toward growth...and that I’m grateful for.
