Your Flat Stomach Solution this Summer

For lasting results with weight loss you need to hold yourself accountable.

Here's a fantastic flat stomach solution to help you stay motivated along your transformation jouney.

Take a photo of yourself

This will serve as a personal daily motivator.

You know what they say, the camera never lies!

If you're not happy with what you see in the mirror and the clothes don't fit right anymore, then you definitely need to take this worthwhile action and push the button on your camera!

Taking a 'before' photo of yourself is one of the ultimate motivators when it comes to changing your body.

You must have a visual when you begin your new healthy lifestyle or when you just need to refresh your mindset on the path to a healthier you.

The photo is for your eyes and your eyes only, but I suggest you put it up in a place where you can see it every single day. Take time to really look at your photo and see the personal changes you need to make in order to realise your goals.

When you look in the mirror your perception of how you see yourself can get distorted...

But your photo of you will never lie; it will show you the truth about your body and what physical changes it needs to become toned, healthy and stronger.

You will have the photo to look back at when perhaps you're feeling unmotivated to carry on and wondering why you are doing all this in the first place.

You're worth the effort and you deserve the changes that will come.

You will be reminded of the choice you have made and the journey you are on to a healthier and happier lifestyle.

Your photo will also be great for you to remember where you started and to see how far you have come...

That small photo of you can hold huge powers in motivating you towards your goals and to achieving lasting changes once and for all.

Set the pre-snap on your camera or get someone to take the picture for you and take a full length picture of you facing forward wearing either just your underwear or some short shorts and your sports bra.

If you're digital then you could even use the picture as your screen saver or background at home!

That's not all...there's more you can do to get lasting results!

Motivation, the Key Weight Loss Ingredient

It’s Sunday morning and I’ve just got back from my morning workout.... It was a good workout and I feel so much better for doing it but do you think I really wanted to get out of my nice cosy bed early on a Sunday morning when the majority of people are enjoying a well earned lie in?.... I DON’T THINK SO!!

I must have hit the snooze button at least 4 times. Finally I managed to drag myself out of bed and I’ll tell you why.

Because I kept telling myself how good I would feel after I had finished and that perhaps I would only workout for 15 minutes instead of the full 30 minutes and you know what, once the 15 minutes was up I felt energized and I didn’t even think twice about continuing for the extra 15 minutes.

Maybe you’re the same as me and find it extremely difficult to motivate yourself on occasions?

Allow me to pass on 3 great motivators that work for me and my clients.

1.Let me ask you, what are the main reasons you workout? Maybe it’s for weight loss; to stay fit, train for an upcoming event, or even all three! Write your reasons down and tape them to the fridge or where you can see them. Then write down next to your reasons how your workouts make you feel, do they make you feel energised, happy, strong, confident? You get the idea.

2.Next, start to write down your daily goals on a separate piece of paper. So maybe on Monday you want to get up at 6am and workout for 30 minutes and on Tuesday you want to do a 20 minute interval training session and so on. At the bottom of the paper I want you to write down a special treat that you can reward yourself with only if you have achieved your weekly goals. Perhaps a back massage or a manicure. Tape this piece of paper next to the reasons.

3.Lastly but by no means least...move! All it takes is for us to take one step forward (out of bed) to get the motivation & momentum to continue taking steps towards our own personal goals.

Now whenever you are lacking motivation or you think ‘I can’t be bothered’, I want you to look at the pieces of paper and I guarantee they will give you a good kick up the butt. This is something we all need once in a while!

Stay fit, keep focused and feel fabulous!
