Five Ways To Burn Fat Fast And Nix Depression

It's easy to start a "diet" and exercise program, but sticking to it for the long term is the difficult part.  Especially if weight isn't  coming off fast enough or you're not at the beach babe level you want to be.

I go through periods of numbness where I let stupid people and things that I can't control get to me.  I call them sleep walking moments where depression hits hard and it seems there is no end in sight.  However, being a creature of habit I still get my butt to the gym and fight like a ninja warrior to get through my work out.

A few things I do to shake the depression and stay motivated are:

GO BACK TO THE BASICS
Why do I want to stay on a healthy path and look and feel like super woman? Because being healthy, strong and clear  is the best gift you can give your mind and body.  Plus  it's free and the best anti depressant on earth.

GET A VISION BOARD
I use a piece of a card board box as a bulletin board and  print pictures of my female fitness idols.  Like Ashley Horner, Jamie Eason, Jen Jewell, etc.
They serve as a perfect reminders to where I want to be physically.

HAVE GRATITUDE 
Count your blessings daily because no matter how bad things are at the moment they could always be worse, and for many people having  your life would be a dream.
As long as your body functions properly and you can walk, talk, see, use the bathroom by yourself, be grateful.  Use your strength  to help others, even if it's holding a door for someone it can make their day.

GIVE STUFF AWAY
Having a closet full of stuff that isn't used or appreciated is a huge waste of space.  Buying stuff to be happy is the biggest lie most people participate in daily.  I know I did it for a long time, but  the second I became aware of this addiction my habits changed 100%.  Before impulse buying I stop and think do I really need this.  The answer 100% of the time is no.

USE YOUR FELLOW  GYM MEMBERS AS MOTIVATORS
My gym is kind of snobby, but there are a few people that work their tales off and make me glad I came.  One guy doesn't give a crap who's around and he runs, lifts, grunts, moans  and the most important thing is he sweats and goes every day.  I am so glad when I see him show up, he seems like a great humble guy and makes me smile.
The other one is this female who rocks out, jumps around and has a great time and doesn't give a sh*t who's watching.
I love these  regulars, they make my mornings and one of these days I am going to thank them.


Life can be toxic and depressing , but making progress makes you fearless.

Use your time wisely,  never give up,  focus on your goals and keep pushing!!!!!!!



NO MATTER WHAT, NO MATTER WHO

YOU CAN AND YOU WILL!
