The Uncomfortable Truth About Your Fitness Journey
It's January 31st, and you just hit the "𝟷 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘱".
It's the point in time after making a change in your routine/life/habits, where the excitement starts to wear off.
At first, you're super excited to start a new fitness journey, and you can't stop thinking about what your life will be like when you reach your goals. All you have to do is put in the work.
Then the 1 month slump hits...
And that's when you notice...

The 1 month slump is inevitable.
But it's really just life pushing back asking, "How bad do you really want this? How uncomfortable are you willing to get?"
At that point, you have 𝟐 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬...
1. Fall back into old, comfortable habits that kept you happily unhappy.
2. Lean into the discomfort and push through.
It's the last day of January.
1 month ago you set big fitness goals. Ones that made your palms sweaty and stomach flutter.
This is your test.
How bad do you want them?
How uncomfortable are you willing to get?
