The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting sunnier, summer is just around the corner. With the change in the air, a level of excitement may be growing inside you. Beach days, drinks by the pool, outdoor adventures with friends and family.
With the change in the air, a level of apprehension may also be starting to emerge. A sense of dread for swimwear weather or a level of doubt if you can actually keep up with your friends as they explore the great outdoors.
We get it- summer can bring a number of mixed emotions. And with this mixed emotions, you may want to make a decision to give you an immediate result even though you know it’s probably not the best thing to do.
*You may restrict your carbohydrate intake to help you feel less bloated
(but in reality that’s just a bullshit excuse to justify your actions).
*You add more training sessions in order to start pushing your results faster.
*You may sign up for a cleanse or a detox because it will give you the initial kick you need to get motivated to see some results
(you promise to yourself that you will start to eat sensibly after that).
The pull to engage in behaviours like this can be alluring and powerful. Many of us have been there before. You don’t have to jump down that rabbit hole and get lost in a world where it can feel like there may be no coming back.

Simple strategies from one strong women to the next
Set yourself goals (and be realistic)

Book in your training sessions just like you would an appointment. Your health and fitness is as much a priority as your next hair appointment. Results come from consistency. Consistently showing up and putting in time and effort.
Get yourself a program (and preferably a Coach)
The allure of the next Bikini Body Booty Blast Online Program can be forever real. Meet a human being, talk, connect and start a training relationship with someone that understands who you are. What your struggles are, what your strengths are and what you need in your life to move forward.
