What to do when your IN A FUNK




Raise your hand if you ever feel...well....NOT MOTIVATED??  I know right...GASP.   I am a highly self motivated person.  But the last few months I have been WORN OUT and not as motivated as I like to be.  Dragging my BOOTY out of bed at 4:30 or 5 has been WAY harder lately.  So...what do you do??? 

1. TAKE A DAY OFF!!  There I said it.  YES.  I missed a day working out.  And I had a GIRLS night with a close friend.....and I MAY or may mot have spent 50$ at target.  (retail therapy) But I took a DAY OFF...and I FELT BETTER

2. SHAKE IT OFF - YOU ARE A PERSON.  A bad month, bad day, bad whatever....ISNT THE END OF THE WORLD.  You're a person....not a robot.   So let it go.  Shake it off.  AND MOVE ON.

3. DO SOMETHING HARD  - for me thats a LONG HARD RUN..or doing the INSANITY workout.  That PUSH even though you dont feel like PUSHING can be the MOMENTUM MAKER to get you back on track.

Here are some OTHER IDEAS.
1. find a HILL and RUN UP IT...then walk down....THEN RUN UP IT...and walk down.  Do that for an HOUR and I PROMISE you will FEEL BETTER
2. Run Bleachers at the closest High school.  Preferably with the "Rocky Theme" playing in your earbuds
3. Do as MANY pushups as you can...till you fall on your face.  THEN REST...and do it again.  TILL YOU CANT do it again!!!

4. RECOMMIT!!
MAKE A PLAN!!!  I just RE-STARTED INSANITY ASYLUM!!!  ITS HARD and it PUSHES me...and I LOVE IT!!!

YOU NEED A PLAN!!!  So how do you make one??  the first step is to ssk yourself THESE questions.  SELF EVALUATION TIME!!!  Sometimes PAINFUL..but necessary

-What HAVE I BEEN DOING??
-IS IT WORKING??
-WHAT AM WILLING TO DO??
-What SPECIFICALLY do I COMMIT TO DOING....EVERYDAY!??!! (yes..the trick it to commit to do something..EVERYDAY) 
(If you need SOMETHING I have a daily MAX out video..once exercise a day that I post on my website at www.rockitmomfitness.com!!)
-COMMIT!!  And DO IT!!! and YES....YOU CAN!!!

5. ASK FOR HELP!!!!   Ask your spouse, your best friend, your kids, WHOEVER.  I WILL even help you if you want. That's what I do as a BEACH BODY COACH!  But having a COMMITMENT and no ACCOUNTABLITY often leads to.....drumroll.....FAILURE..or A RUT!!!

GET OUT OF THE RUT!!
