Consistency

I presented tonight at the Healthy U meetings and it was so inspiring.
It was a nice way to remind myself about where I have been, the work I have done and what I have learned. 

The Healthy U Motto is:
Learn, Change, Inspire. 

You have to first LEARN

After you learn you are able to CHANGE
And finally once you change yourself, you are in a position to INSPIRE others. 

So I presented on Meal Prep.
But I also covered some of the high points of the mental toughness that it takes to follow through with your prep and see results. 

And I think that is what is the hardest part:
Doing a plan and sticking with it long enough that you get to see those results.
Results won't happen "over night" as they say... but really results happen over TIME.
Like a couple months.

That being said............

I spoke tonight mostly about Meal Prep and how it helps you to become consistent in your attempts to reach your weight loss goals. 

When you are able to get yourself on a consistent plan where you know exactly what you are eating each and every day, and you are in the habit of meal prepping each week, you are setting yourself up for success! 

And once you have changed and replaced habits... once hard times and stress come, you are in a good routine and won't as easily fall back into old, bad habits. 

There are some habits that we pick up that over time become a part of us. 

And it is REALLY hard to break those.
But... with HARD work and consistency, it CAN be done! 

I will say that my hiatus from this blog completely coincides with myself getting back into a few "old" habits. So tonight was a great chance for me to re-focus myself. 

I have goals still that I want to hit.
I am still not where I want to be completely.
But I know that I WILL get there by going back to what I know and following my plan exactly 

That was a little all over the place. 
So sorry.
