Prior to my developing autoimmune disorders, I was fairly diligent about strengthening and toning as part of my physical fitness routine. While it was not perfect, I was satisfied with where I was. However, after I became ill, I had to restart my strengthening/toning when my health improved.

Sometimes, my progress feels imperceptible and I feel like quitting. What helps me to keep going is 1) Remembering my why; 2) Celebrating my wins; 3) Reframing my negative thoughts; and 4) Seeking support and accountability.

When I remember why I embarked on this journey and think about my desired results…I decide to go ahead and do my squats and biceps curls even when I don’t feel like it! I looked at my self in the mirror recently and thought (or maybe imagined) I saw a “little bulging”. So, I celebrated and texted my coach. LOL! Instead of dwelling on how long it is taking for me to see the progress, I decided to reflect on the fact that at one point I didn’t have the energy or strength to start a strength/toning program but, now I do. My coach has been an inspiration and knowing that I will be meeting with her regularly helps me to stay on track.

Whatever your goals are, I want to encourage you to keep moving forward. Trust the process and don’t quit! 1) Remember your why; 2) Celebrate your wins (big and small); 3) Reframe your negative thoughts; 4) Seek support/accountability
