Brooke's Top Motivation Tips
Brooke shares what she has done to keep on track whilst she transformed her health and wellbeing.
"I lost 22.5kg in 10 months, I no longer have fatty liver, my cholesterol levels are perfect, my kidney functions are stable, I am now a former diabetic, I improved my IBS, improved my PCOS with monthly regular periods, less hair loss, more energy and my mental wellbeing improved in many areas.
Here are some things Brooke said helped her stay focused:
1: Progress Photos
Take them wearing a goal top or pants or out fit or wearing the same clothes of possible take them each month. TO see the physical changes
2: Take Measurments every month and track your progress seeing this physically shows you the changes. Choose a top / out fit & take photos
3: Focus on one habit change at time
Eg: you could do quit soft drink for more water and once you established that as a developed routine then do the next habit you want to work on. (It takes time) so be patient
4: Try New Ways to Exercise
Try something new to make it exciting. I tried dumbell weights exercises from the 7 fay fitness challenge and loved using weights now I am at the gym doing weights & loving it & even did my first boxing class. You could even try a local bush track walk and see a water fall.
5: Keep a progress & reflection journal to write down goals and reflect on your personal health journey it's a great tool to use
6: Use The Wellness Tracker on the app, I love my wellness tracker it's a great visual tool, I use it to track my progress and look at areas I could improve on, and I try to do better than the previous month.
7: I love to set small weekly goals I can achieve. A whole week of wellness smoothies for breakfast, drink 2 L water daily, do the 7 day fitness challenge, no take aways for a week, walk every day.
8: If you have a bad day, or eat unhealthy, turn up in any way you can to stop that I failed mind set which can self sabotarge your progress.
A off day doesn't mean you failed. Instead look at what you could do to be healthy. Drink water, go for a 10min walk, do a home work out, prep a meal for the next day. Any little habit you do that is good will help mind shift to keep focused.
9: Accept that all changes take time, mentally and physically. Be patient, they will happen, consistency is the key.
10: Don't let the scales determine your success, the scales have been up and down my whole weight loss journey. If I were to listen to that number it showed me, and keep self sabotaging, I wouldn't have made it this far.
They don't show the physical changes inside your body or outside, they are a guide. Keep on going you will see the results with consistency.
Take note of how you are feeling
Are you feeling less Bloated, More energy, less tired, daily tasks like getting up and down from the floor is easier, less puffing when walking and doing exercise.
Has your health improved, such as blood pressure, diabetes management, fatty liver gone, high cholesterol levels maintained, body movement, and even your joints may feel better, or Reflux is better.
All these little areas are often overlooked because of the scales, because we get fixated on a number.
BUT celebrate all your health markers as you are on the right path. JUST KEEP SHOWING UP & stay consistent.
