MY TOP 5 💪 Favorite Fitness Motivational Quotes

Have you ever set goals for yourself only to lose focus halfway through and ended up abandoning the journey altogether? Well, I have.. a few times, in the past - mostly about fitness and eating right. I realized now that I've gone about it all wrong when I attempted to lose the extra weight as quickly as possible only to get frustrated because I just couldn't lose the last 10-15 lbs.

A few years ago, after having completed an intense 60-day fitness program and successfuly shedding 30 lbs in two months, I told myself I'd take a week-long break from working out and get back at it again with renewed energy to lose the remaining weight. Well, that week-long break kept getting extended and extended and before I knew it, I gained all the weight back - and more!

I tried again last year and it was the first time I got myself a gym membership! I even took it to a different level and hired myself a fitness trainer. After about 4 months, I told myself this is going great!. I lost 35 lbs in 3 months! It's the closest I've been to my goal weight within the last 7-8 years. I felt stronger and better about myself. I just needed to make sure to stay focused and keep my eye on the goal. But again, I hit that dreaded plateau! I still had that 15 lbs to lose! I kept working at it for a few more months but the scale just would't budge. So I told myself.. I'm going to take a break from working out and work on my diet instead. Well, you can just imagine how well that plan turned out. :/

Fast forward to present day: I still have my eye on that 135-lb goal but I've learned a few things along the way. Yes, I did have to start this journey over again but I've learned to take it slow and my focus this time is to develop lifelong fitness habits that I can easily manage day after day.

I also wanted to share my top 5 favorite fitness quotes that help me to stay motivated and they also reflect the lessons I've learned in the last few years and many attempts at losing weight.

Sure, those girls in those fitness videos look perfect! And I used to think, if could just get flat abs and toned arms like that, that'd be really really awesome! Well, I still think it'd be awesome but I also want set up a REALISTIC goal for myself. :D

This is another reason why I keep a fitness log because it feels good to look back and see that even if the scale doesn't show any or very little improvement, I can look at my workout log and see some improvement there.

This one doesn't need any explanation. I just have to keep reminding myself though. :)
