Here we are SIX months into the new year! If you are anything like me, you sat down at the end of 2013 and set some great goals for 2014.
Are you still running towards those goals- knocking down anything that is standing in your way or have you given up and gone right back into your old ways?

Change is hard. The definition of change is to "to cause to be different; to transform." That is not an easy task. Usually by the time you are ready for change, you are already in the contemplation/preparation phase of change. (shown below is the 5 stages of change) Usually where we get stuck is the action part - which is 80% of the way toward your goal! Putting action behind your goal is one of the hardest steps, but essential for your success. No matter your goal or resolution, take some time to review them and see where you might be in the stages of change and continue to fight for your dreams! :)
If your New Year's resolution was to get healthy/lose weight/fit into those skinny jeans...check out my Motivational Monday workout! All you need is your body and 20 minutes! No excuses :) When you finish the workout, comment below how it went :)
