stephfitblr: [don’t give up on yourself anything worth doing is...



stephfitblr:

[don’t give up on yourself
anything worth doing is hard
and you can do hard things]

I’m not gonna lie to you. If you want to lose the weight, you have to put in the work. you have to move your body, accelerate your heart rate, get sweaty, get uncomfortable. your methods may change but the principles don’t. you lift heavy things until you can lift heavier. you do one rep but soon you can do two. you can’t stay the same and expect new results.

you have to work work work work work. maybe your work is spending an hour at the gym. or running a couple miles. or getting 10,000 steps on your Fitbit. or doing jumping jacks or Zumba or yoga. maybe you workout alone to a video or following a plan like @crushfit, or in a class like crossfit or a martial arts school, or in a crowd at the Y. maybe you’re walking your dog through the park, or maybe you’re going two rounds in the ring. doesn’t matter. pick something and do it a lot.

you have to work in the kitchen too. learn to cook meals, not just pizza rolls. pack your lunch to avoid the temptation of takeout. there’s nothing wrong with making small changes at first. you don’t have to go straight from fast food to clean eating. maybe instead of McDonalds and Taco Bell everyday, you switch to lean cuisine prepackaged meals. maybe instead of freezer lasagna, you make your own. maybe you switch Starbucks frappes for iced coffee. it doesn’t (and shouldn’t) have to be drastic. but if you want long term results, you must begin making changes. small, deliberate, constant decisions that build into greater ones

you’ll get there, friend
it’ll be so hard
but you are strong
and you can do hard things
and anything worth doing is hard
