The Keys To My Success - And Yours?

Celebrate small successes, no matter how small!
I don’t just look at the numbers or the size anymore I judge by how I feel inside (my mood) and out (feel stronger, look leaner).
 
Surround myself and my schedule with likeminded people!
My new Crossfit family has been a HUGE motivation for me. I’ve noticed no matter how much I am hurting during the workout I can’t stop telling myself that there is nowhere else I would rather be. Point blank, the more I move the more I want to move. The more I learn about health and fitness the more I want to know.   I’ve put myself out there and met so many new people and each person has either shared something with me or taught me something and I am so grateful.

Set goals all kinds of goals!
Keep it simple and attainable. Setting goals that make me happy vs goals that are strictly numbers based have a better success rate.

Example:
Goal A (BORING!) I want to lose 8lbs in 2 weeks  
vs.  
Goal B I want to attend 3 Crossfit classes per week, Paddle Board 2x/week, Zumba Monday nights and eat healthy 90% of the time.
See what I mean?  Not only does Goal B sound more fun but it also has specific direction in setting myself up for success to lose 8lbs in 2 weeks without even thinking about it.
Do things that are completely out of my comfort zone!
If I dream about it, think about it, desire to do it then I make it happen. It is really that easy. Life is meant to be lived.
