There are so many programs out there that have catchy titles that include words such as: "5 Minute Abs" or "Melt Your Muffin Top in 7 Days" or "Build a Booty" with a list of 5 exercises and a picture of a girl who has probably worked years to get her booty or she was blessed with a butt! You see, none of these programs actually work in 5 minutes or 7 days.. it takes time!! More than 5 minutes unfortunately! I am not saying these programs don't help your results BUT it takes more than exercise to melt a muffin top & it takes more than 5 exercises to build a booty…
I often find programs that would actually work if I dedicated myself to the 3 month time span. At first I'm gung-ho and ready to do work! Then, slowly the motivation for the program fades and I get bored usually at the one month mark. I don't stop working out but I always vier off the plan for about 1-2 weeks then I'm like "Oh man, I should get back to that!" My problem is I start over.. all the way from the beginning because I feel like I have to, so it turns into a vicious circle!
Here's my question: How do I get over the hump & just stick with it?! I know, I know most of you are thinking "Duh, just keep going with the plan!!" I know that.. I'm talking about my motivation for the plan.. where do I find that at the 4 week mark?!
I know many people that have their certain body parts that they work out on the same day every week. I can't do that, I constantly need change in the gym!! I need new exercises, new routines, new classes.. unfortunately this is not working and I think I know why… MY DIET! (insert dramatic gasp here)
People think working out is the hard part, FALSE! Meal prep & what you eat is the hard part! I watch my husband meal prep almost on a daily basis.. Man, he's got the motivation of a beast let me tell ya! I know what needs to be done, I just don't have the self discipline to do it.
Now for the real test: Can I stick to an 80/20 meal plan?! You will find out! I will be posting my "before" pictures in my next blog to help keep me accountable & in 1 month of "clean" eating I will post my "after" pictures.. The struggle is real people, stay tuned to see if I make it!!
