Stop procrastinating and be more consistent with posting: I actually have so many ideas and drafts of things I want to post or write about, but sometimes my perfectionism gets in the way of doing something I really really enjoy such as blogging
Be more organized
Work on my sleeping schedule: I’m a night owl and even though I have to get up pretty early, I tend to go to bed quite late and end up not getting enough sleep.
Get up with the first alarm: This one is a continuation of the previous point, I want to get out of bed without having several alarms and snoozing them.
Implement yoga
Actually learn to do the splits and document my progress: This is a goal I had set for myself last year and I did it a couple times but life happens and I just stopped.
Share more of my journey: I’m a very private person but I started this Blog to share my journey and that means the ups and downs. It’s definetly out of my comfort Zone but that’s one thing I’ve been trying to do more often, get out of my comfort Zone.
Work on my relationship with food I might also share part of that as well.
One of the biggest motivations of course is seeing my own progress, seeing how far I have come is the best motivation when I’m feeling down or as if nothing has been changing recently. That’s why I love the fact that I’ve taken Before pictures even though I originally never planned on sharing them (my instagram used to be private until sometime earlier this year where I got out of my comfort zone and went public). It’s been a great experience and amazing feeling since I stepped out of my comfort zone.
My second biggest motivation is a Person, my big brother to be more specific. He has supported me throughout my entire journey whether it was with the nurtition or with my workouts. My brother has been into fitness for quite a few years now and has become a certified Personal Trainer. He’s the only one I trust with both my nutrition and exercise when I need advice, not because he’s a trainer but because he actually does it himself so he knows what he’s talking about and he knows what works. Even though we’re currently not on the same continent he still is such a big motivation and support (when I workout and not really feeling it I often think back to the workout sessions I had with him and it motivates me to push myself to my limits). I am incredibly thankful for everything he has done for me not just with fitness, he’s an amazing brother and I can’t put in words how thankful I am for everything and how much that really means to me.
When I see new progress he’s the first person I share it with and there’s no better feeling than hearing him say “I’m proud of you” or how happy he is for me. I simply wouldn’t be where I am today without him and his amazing support.
Lauren Drain Kagan, I think she has an incredible body and I’d love to have amazingly strong legs like hers in the future. She’s been a big inspiration for me, a body like hers is something I’m aiming for (of course I’m aware that we have a diffrent body shape etc..). She’s definetly proof that muscles can be sexy. Also I love watching her stories or youtube content, I like her personality (well the parts that I’ve seen on social media).
Jeremy Buendia, I discovered him when I watched the Movie “The Perfect Phisique” on Netflix. I looked him up after the movie and started following him, his discipline,dedication and mindset are incredibly inspiring and motivating for me. When I’m lacking motivation I sometimes watch one of his videos and I just feel motivated, there’s something about him that has that effect on me. You can tell that he’s very passionate about this sport.
*I follow a lot of athletes and weightloss accounts and they’re all inspiring in their own way, those two are just those that I personally find most inspiring or relatable.
My biggest aspiration for next year, is definitely to lose the last few pound to reach my goal weight. And then fully focus on building more muscle, I have already made great visible progress with my back and can’t wait to see the rest follow.
I want to be more focused and disciplined again, the holidays have been making it unusually hard for me this year. I can’t wait to go back to my normal disciplined routine and crush my goals.
