I'm back on track and that's the big thing I really want to share this with you guys because I get this question a lot. How do you stay motivated? How do you get back on track? The bottom line is you just have to get back on track Whether it's the next meal the next day Just don't wait for the next week the next Monday or the next month get back on track as soon as you can and for me That was the day that I returned from vacate or the day after I returned from vacation Now the day I flew in was a little bit off track Just because of flying and being stretched for time and options at the airport But the next day I told myself you get back on track and I did just that so you have to remind yourself Why you're on this weight loss journey, which we're gonna talk about this a little bit later and remind yourself that it's important Just to get back on track. So that's kind of how my week went and speaking of why we're on this weight loss journey So WW is doing kind of a fun series at the workshops where they're revisiting old topics fan favorite topics topics that people Really enjoy and keep coming back and asking questions about so this week's topic week one of the fan favorite series is about your Why in order for us to be successful on a weight loss journey or a health journey in general? Even if it has nothing to do with weight is we have to have a why we have to have a vision and a reason behind Why we're doing what we're doing? Maybe it's seeing a certain number on the scale Maybe it's getting a great report the next time you visit the doctor or maybe it's fitting into your favorite pair of jeans Every single one of us no matter where we are on our weight loss or health journey has a why and we need to really Center and refocus on that why when things get tough when we fall off track when we start eating all the things when we Lack motivation we need to go back to why we're choosing to do what we're doing So like I mentioned we need to revisit our why throughout our weight loss or a healthy lifestyle journey because it tends to go on the Backburner it tends to be forgotten So there are key elements as to why you need to revisit your why Details are of the essence when it comes to establishing a why and again You need to revisit those details and those reasons often so we're gonna talk about four tips from WW on how to determine your Why and these four tips are the ones you reflect back on when you're struggling Number one is think off the top of your head fast answer fast response What is the number one reason you want to lose weight go whatever answer? Just popped in your mind is the number one reason that you need to have a why once you have a fast answer on Why you want to lose weight now? It's time to dig deep Well, how are you going to feel when you accomplish that number one item that why of losing weight? How are you going to feel? How are you going to look? How's it going to positively in packed your life? So let's say that the first thing that came to mind was you're out of breath taking the stairs So how are you going to feel when you're not out of breath taking the stairs? Is it going to be a momentous occasion when you can fly up a flight of stairs and not be out of breath at the top? So that's when you start to dig deep and figure out the why behind the why tip number three is ask yourself the Same question again go back to number one. What is the reason you want to lose weight go? Keep asking yourself that question until you truly truly uncover the why behind your lifestyle journey your weight loss journey Getting fitter healthier happier you need to make sure that you dig deep and discover Truly the reason why you're on this journey and number four is Personalize that take your most authentic answer the one that popped in your mind first over the course of asking yourself That question several times and that's your why that's the reason you're here That's the reason you're on Weight Watchers. You're counting calories. You're going to the gym. You're working out regularly That's your why remember that write it down Savor it and revisit it often like I said motivation fleets when we're on any type of journey Not even weight loss or health motivation fleets in our job Motivation fleets in our fitness motivation fleets in our eating I mean you name it and motivation goes away eventually So that's why it's so important to establish a solid why and revisit that why often So it's always in the forefront of your mind when you're on whatever healthy lifestyle journey or weight loss journey That you've chosen to be on for you So now let's talk about my week like I mentioned I got right back on track and I killed it this last week I felt really really good about my choices like I mentioned Wednesday was a little bit of a challenge I ended up having to fly by the seat of my pants and again Just check out Wednesday's what I eat a day not to mention There's some really fun halls in that video as well, but I killed it this week and when I stepped on the scale I am down 1.8 pounds. So not only did I lose the 1.2 I gained. I lost an additional point six Listen, I'll take it That's amazing to me that I was able to take it off in less than a week and add a little bit to that So I'm officially now down 48.2 pounds, which is so incredibly exciting I'm still a bit from my 50 pound goal this year that 48 pounds encompasses the weight I lost in 2019 and also the weight that I've lost in 2020 So I'm really proud of myself I can't wait to hit 50 pounds down overall and I'm really really still shooting to hit 50 pounds total in The year of 2020 which means that my overall weight loss would be over 50 pounds. So I'm excited you guys I'm right there. I'm 1.8 away from hitting my 50 pound mark. So I'm super excited again It's just an extra motivation for me and I wanted to share with you just kind of briefly what my why is and I I went through these steps. I asked myself that same question Why do I want to lose weight over and over and over again? And you know what answer I came up with and the answer that popped in my mind several several times Was I just want to feel better in my body. I just want to feel better I want to pass a mirror and not shy away I want to put on clothes and be like dang girl. You look good. Not like, oh my gosh What can I wear to cover up this that or the other? I just want to feel good about myself I want to go to the grocery store. I want to go out in public. I want to ride rides and not worry about how I look That's really honestly my why I'm very fortunate that my health is great I don't have any underlying health issues So for me my why stems and how I feel and I can visualize how I'm going to feel when I'm at my goal weight Because I've been there before I've been at my goal weight or very very close to it And I remember how I feel I remember it like it was yesterday how I felt in that moment So that's what I want back and that's my why so thank you guys So so much for hanging out with me on today's video again If you enjoyed it, please give it a thumbs up It really helps out my channel and I really appreciate it Also, I would love it if you join my community and subscribe and turn your bell on again So you don't miss a single video stay tuned for a massive and I mean massive stock up grocery haul tomorrow And check out that description box again for nutrition coaching As well as links and discount codes to everything that i'm obsessed with And the link to join us over on my community on facebook We're 17 000 members strong and growing and we'd love love love to have you Thank you guys again.
