How To Start On The Right Track With Your Weight Loss Journey (plus my favourite journey kick-starter recipes)

Starting on the right track can be tough! 😰

Motivation comes and goes.. You have days where the motivation is high, and other days when you can’t be bothered doing anything. ⁣
⁣
Something I have learnt on my own journey is that starting on the right track is about building good habits, encouraging self-discipline and most importantly, understanding that you'll need to get outside your comfort zone every once and a while!

Think about it like this...

Just like you brush your teeth in the morning, it’s not motivation that does that for you, it’s discipline. That act or behaviour is instilled in you that it's a good thing you should be doing everyday. ⁣
⁣
Just like you book an appointment with your hair dresser, it’s not motivation that gets you there, it's disciple. You were taught that if someone is waiting on you, it would be wrong to not show up.
⁣
The same goes for eating well and exercising! It should be a PART OF YOUR DAY.

So book it in. Write it in your diary. Schedule it on your phone's calendar.

Just like you would an appointment or a reminder to pay a bill. Don’t skip out on yourself or wait for motivation to hit you. TRAIN it in yourself that THIS (whatever it may be) is going to make me feel GOOD 😄💪🏼

This mindset was especially important for me while I progressed through my weight loss journey. Scheduling in time where I can prepare my meals, some time to exercise, to stretch, to take Wally for a walk in the sunshine, etc. All the time that make me feel GOOD while on my journey.

It's completely normal at first to somethings feel challenged in your new routine because it’s something different to your usual day-to-day.. but trust me.. that is where the fun happens!!
