Happy Tuesday! Hope you all had a lovely Easter and didn’t go too overboard with the eating of chocolate eggs! I thought this post was quite appropriate after the weekend.
When it comes to dropping the fat, motivation is often the hardest part. In today’s post I am going to bring you 7 ideas to keep you on track with your motivation.
1 – Kilos to Lose, Kilos Destroyed Jars
Every time you burn a kg, simply move a pebble from one jar to the other
2 – The Drink More Water Trick
During the week I found that it was easy to drink water as it was part of my daily routine. However every weekend as the routine went out so did my water consumption. Here it what I did to make sure I had enough on the weekend.
3 – Write a Reminder and Stick it on The Fridge
Sometimes you might need a little reminder as to ‘why’ you started your health journey. Take 10 minutes and write out all the reasons why you decided to embark on your health journey. When you are done stick it on the fridge or somewhere you can see it.
4 – Dive into a Fitness/Health Book
If I ever feel the health journey beginning to wane then I grab a book just to remind me of the importance of health.
He who has health has hope; and he who has hope, has everything!
5 – Variety is The Spice of Life
During the week I am pretty strict on my training sessions. I have a squat day, deadlift day, bench day and a military press day. The weekends however I like to mix my workouts up. Sometimes I will grab a kettlebell and just play.
This is what this week’s Kettlebell playing session looked like..

6 – Listen to a Podcast
I love a good podcast. While living in London I used to listen to a podcast everyday while on the tube on my way to work. Unlike the hour on a tube now it only takes me 13 minutes to get to work which just isn’t enough time for a podcast. Instead of daily I now am for one a week.
Here are a few of my favourites for fitness and health

7 – Before and After Photos
It’s all very well jumping on the scales but visually seeing those changes can be incredibly motivating.
Take pics from the front, side and back and a photo every 4 weeks works well if you’re on point with your nutrition and training.
