How I Stay Motivated

I get asked so many questions about how I stay motivated and get up to train every day, how I don’t binge eat junk food and how I turned to healthier eating habits. Well these are my 3 top tips for how I stay motivated.

#1. I post on Instagram to make myself accountable and motivated. My kids also help me stay motivated, I want to be fit and healthy so I can play and run around with my kids. And the big one is I buy new active wear to keep myself motivated.

#2. I think about my future self. At night we normally reflect on the day we have had and all the things we wished that we did or didn’t do. I want to reflect on all the things I did do, I am only going to have positive things to reflect on if I get up and train in the morning, I will be happy that I pushed myself to move my body and not feel bad that I sat on the couch all day.

#3. For me food prep is key to healthy eating. If I don’t have food prepped ready in the cupboard or fridge that’s when I tend to binge eat or eat junk food and order take away. So meal prep your lunches and snacks for 3 days at a time, as this will help stop the unhealthy eating. Also chocolate and chips is still okay to eat just in moderation. Don’t eat a whole block of chocolate in one go, have one or two rows each day. It’s taken me 5yrs, 2 kids and 1 stepchild to finally stop eating a whole packet of tam-tams or a whole bag of MnMs in one go.
