How To Stay Motivated ( Fit Bomb and Our BOOTCAMP SOLD OUT so why so low?)
Ok, so, I fell off the wagon of blogging. I've made the Fit Bomb videos (which I will be posting several at the end of this little tirade). I've posted them on Facebook, You Tube and even got them out to my Newsletter but they haven't quite made it to here. Motivation? Maybe. Busy? Definitely! But that's no excuse. If I used that excuse for my business and health I'd be one lumpy mess of unemployed lady. I'm a failure!
I know, I know. I'm not but... I see myself and think "It's too much for me. I'm not an entrepreneur, an expert like so and so. I'm not good enough".
10 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee tuck jump
20 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee tuck jump
30 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee tuck jump
40 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee tuck jump
50 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee tuck jump
Time cap: 20 minutes
2 rounds of:
16 weighted walking lunge
16 toes-to-kettlebell
8 power cleans
Then,
I know, I know. I'm not but... I see myself and think "It's too much for me. I'm not an entrepreneur, an expert like so and so. I'm not good enough".
All these thoughts, "I'm failing to grow." "I don't have enough space." "I can't get enough different types of classes to appease everyone." " I can't write the emails and blogs and get my own exercise in so how dare I tell others to try harder!" "I'm only one person!" "I'm too old."
TRUTH: What I'm failling to see is how far I've come.
I was in a 400 square foot garage with 10 then 20 and now 60 clients! In a bigger space!
My FIT CLUB Kettlebell Boot Camp sold out in 2 days so I had to add a 7:30 AM time slot. BTW spots still available.
So that’s where today’s magic comes into play: The Reverse Gap! It's a thing.
Instead of thinking “Oh, I’ve got so long to go before I reach such and such goal!”, flip everything around and occasionally look back on just how far you’ve come.
So track your workouts, if you're a member at Cherry Bomb that means logging in to your WODIFY account and every so often pop back and see what you were doing last year. Pay attention to those Facebook memories posts. You know the ones from last year? Reflect on how far you've come and stop focusing on how far you "need" to go. It's called gratitude.
And this type of gratitude is what makes us really happy and gives us all the energy to move forward!
I know you’re not the same person as last year.

I'm 41 years old and can do muscle ups!
I'm pretty freaking badass! So why am I not seeing it?
ANSWER: As natural, normal competitive human beings as soon as we reach a goal, we set a new one!
And as we never finish, it can lead to a sense of never ending struggle and never being happy. (Or getting that six pack. Or seeing your business as a success. Or being healthy. Or. Or .Or!)
HERE'S EXACTLY WHAT TO DO
In order to stay motivated, we need to Review, Reward and Recognize Progress. (Oh and shut that whining bitch voice up in our heads)
Step 1: Make a quick list of all the things you’ve improved. Go ahead... I'll wait.
Step 2: Now, give yourself a high five for what you've done so far.
Step 3: Feel satisfied. Feel proud.
Then use this as motivation to keep going.

Don't look to others for motivation... you are Not them. You are you and you are awesome! You just have to allow yourself to see it.
So, what were you doing 12 or 24 months ago? And how far have you come? Let me know.
