  • .⠀ ‘A WOMAN IS LIKE A TEA BAG - YOU CAN’T TELL HOW STRONG SHE IS UNTIL YOU PUT HER IN HOT WATER.’ —Eleanor Roosevelt⠀ .⠀ 👆True story!⠀ .⠀ Happy Thursday!
  • .⠀ ‘MAKEUP IS NOT A MASK THAT COVERS UP YOUR BEAUTY; IT’S A WEAPON THAT HELPS YOU EXPRESS WHO YOU ARE FROM THE INSIDE.’ —Michelle Phan⠀ .⠀ While I’m hanging onto the last shreds of warm weather as long as humanly possible over here, I have to admit I’m kind of excited to start playing around with some of my fall-inspired eyeshadow palettes! The colors in this @toofaced Natural Eyes Palette are so pretty and will pair perfectly with a chunky sweater and sexy boots!⠀ .⠀ 👇What’s your favourite thing about fall?
  • .⠀ ‘NOTHING TRULY GREAT EVER CAME FROM A COMFORT ZONE.’ —Unknown⠀ .⠀ I don’t know about you, but I’ve found September to be really exhausting so far. 😩⠀ .⠀ It’s taking me longer than usual to get things done, I’m staying up way too late to compensate for my lack of productivity throughout the day, and I’m pressing snooze at least a thousand times each morning. I’m not motivated with my workouts and I’ve been making poor food choices, and I’ve just been feeling…blah.⠀ .⠀ I’m pretty sure I feel like this every September, lol, and while we were racing off to school last Friday, I made a promise to my sweet girl that I would pull myself together effective immediately.⠀ .⠀ No more late nights and no more frantic mornings for this mama! ⠀ .⠀ I could sit here and rhyme off a million excuses and reasons why I’ve been slacking, but that’s not going to get me anywhere. Instead, I challenged myself to SUCK IT UP and find my motivation and discipline again.⠀ .⠀ Injured or not, it’s time to stop making excuses and get back to it!⠀ .⠀ 👇How do you motivate yourself when you’re in a rut?
  • .⠀ ‘WHAT IF TODAY, WE ARE JUST GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING?’ —Charlie Brown⠀ .⠀ Here’s to surviving another crazy, messy, chaotic, fabulous freaking Monday! 🥂
  • .⠀ I feel like I'm supposed to come up with a good caption for this, but honestly? I just loved the sh*t out of this cup. So BOOM! There's your caption. ⠀ .⠀ HAPPY SUNDAY, YA'LL!
  • .⠀ 'BE STRONGER THAN YOUR EXCUSE.' --Nike Slogan⠀ .⠀ Staying motivated with your workout goals can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. When it comes to weight loss, it’s usually an ugly cycle where you don’t feel fit, so you don’t go to the gym, so you put on more weight and feel even more unmotivated and full of self-loathing.⠀ .⠀ Sound familiar? 🙋‍♀️⠀ .⠀ With the warm weather slowly slipping away, I wanted to share some of my best tips for setting goals and sticking with them so you can stay motivated during the cold weather months.⠀ .⠀ ✔️ FIGURE OUT YOUR WHY. What is the driving force behind your desire to workout and get back into shape? To feel more confident? To fit into your dream wedding dress? To look smoking hot when you bump into your ex?! Whatever the reason, write it down and refer to it whenever you feel your motivation slipping.⠀ .⠀ ✔️ SET SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM GOALS. I’m all about setting big, hairy, audacious goals, but sometimes we need to set smaller goals to keep us motivated along the way.⠀ .⠀ ✔️ THINK: HOW WILL I FEEL IF I SKIP MY WORKOUT? I ask myself this every single morning when I reach for the snooze button and it always gets me out of bed. Give it a try!⠀ .⠀ ✔️ TRACK YOUR PROGRESS. Make it a point to check-in with yourself once a month to take measurements, assess how you’re feeling and sleeping, what your mood is like, etc. so you can make adjustments if needed, but also remind yourself that your hard work is paying off.⠀ .⠀ ✔️ STOP MAKING EXCUSES. Seriously, just stop. You are the only person standing in between of yourself and your dreams, so stop whining and start doing!⠀ .⠀ How do YOU stay motivated with your fitness goals when the weather gets dreary and cold?
