Let’s face it. The road to losing weight is not an easy one to travel. Between eating properly and exercising properly one can literally go CrAzY. Getting in the best shape requires a healthy mindset and a positive attitude. You truly have to understand the  benefits of exercising and how it adds value to your life to appreciate the process. ONCE YOU TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR THOUGHTS, YOU CAN TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR ACTIONS. You possess the mental ability to set goals and achieve them- with greatness!

Here are 3 mental mantra’s to remember when moving towards a healthier lifestyle:

1. DO NOT COMPARE. While on your fitness journey never compare yourself to others. You were made divine and one of a kind! There is only 1 YOU!!! Celebrate who you are – curve by curve, inch-by-inch.
2. BE REALISTIC. Set realistic goals when working out. Losing 5 pounds in 5 days is not healthy! Do NOT take drastic measures or shortcuts to lose weight. Discipline pays off in the end. Make living healthy a lifestyle.
3. PATIENCE IS KEY. You will not see instant results. Even so, KEEP GOING! All great things require time. Track your progress but don’t overdo it. During this time you will be amazed at the woman you will become.

Whether you realize it or not, YOU CAN DO THIS! Martina Boone said it best when stating, “It doesn’t matter how great your shoes are if you don’t accomplish anything in them.” Now PUMP it up and meditate on that!
