You know the hardest part about working out isn't the actual workout, it's getting to the workout or getting started. It's getting your effing shoes on and telling yourself yeah I'm going to do this. It's coming up with a plan and executing it, it is saying yes I can and yes I will, and making the time for yourself to do it. ⠀ ❤️⠀ Most people don't quit after they started their work out, or in a middle of a class or in the beginning of a workout video. They quit before they even start. So if you can get yourself into the right mindset and tell yourself today you're going to commit to yourself. You are going to do this. Then you will. Now go put your sports bra and shoes on, put on your favorite kick ass songs and go workout. You will thank yourself later.⠀ ❤️⠀ #tuesdaymotivation⠀ xo Jessica⠀ Photo Credit @jesselynnephotography⠀ _________________________________________⠀ ▪️FOLLOW @bodyconnectionfitness for your daily dose of mom life 🤦‍♀️, fit‍♀️, motivation & more. ⠀⠀⠀ _________________________________________⠀ #TransformationTuesday ⠀ #TipTuesday ⠀ #GoodNewsTues ⠀ #gym⠀ #fitnessmotivation⠀ #workout⠀ #style⠀ #life⠀ #instagood⠀ #health⠀ #training⠀ #fashion⠀ #model⠀ #love⠀ #photooftheday⠀ #lifestyle⠀ #gymmotivation⠀ #instagram⠀ #healthy⠀ #strong⠀ #exercise⠀ #fitfam⠀ #beauty⠀ #fitnessaddict⠀ #photo⠀ #girls⠀ #instafit⠀ #fitspo⠀ #cardio

Happy Easter Monday!

I found myself watching old videos today of you when you were just and infant. They brought tears to my eyes. How has time slipped by and you are now reading and writing? I love this stage but miss the years already. I already live with regret, regret that I couldn't have spent more time with you and cherished the moments more. ⠀ ❤️⠀ There were always clothes to wash, diapers to change, groceries to get, dishes to do once I finished work for the day.⠀ ❤️⠀ Picking you up from daycare at the end of my day was always the best part of my day. I thought about you while I was with each client, answering each email and teaching each class. ⠀ ❤️⠀ Knowing that I was working hard so I could give you what you deserved. Life of a single mom is so hard. I found myself saying "in just a minute" so many times. ⠀ ❤️⠀ If I could do it again looking back now I would not say in a minute and get back to the other things later, because once that minute has passed you can't get it back.⠀ ❤️⠀ I want to give so much love to other moms out there struggling to provide for their child and feeling like they are missing out. Just know that you are enough and your kiddos love you. ⠀ ❤️⠀ You got this.⠀ xo Jessica⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #momcommunity⠀ #modernmama ⠀ #joyfulmama⠀ #thisismotherhood⠀ #motherhoodunfiltered⠀ #motherhoodismagic⠀ #momdiaries ⠀ #justmomlife⠀ #raw_cuteness⠀ #celebrate_childhood⠀ #simplychildhood⠀ #childhoodeverday⠀ #littlefamiliesofig⠀ #moments_of_mom⠀ #thisismotherhood⠀ #themotherhoodcorner⠀ #mommystatus ⠀ #parenting101⠀ #parentingblog⠀ #honestmomconfessions⠀ #myhonestmotherhood⠀ #postpartumhealth⠀ #whattheydonttellyou⠀ #maternitylife ⠀ #bekindeveryday⠀ #proactivepostpartum⠀ #hormonebalance⠀ #postpartumexercise

About five years ago I started changing the way I think. Instead of focusing on what I don't want, what I don't like, what I don't have; I focus on what I want, what I like, and what I have. Everything became positive that way instead of negative. I instantly became happier in that moment just by changing the way I think. So today what I want you to do is find one negative thought that is haunting you, whatever it may be and see how you can rephrase it so it's no longer negative. For example: working out is hard, I don't have time to work out, I'm never going to change my body. Change this statement to: I'm going to find a way to make working out easy in my schedule and change my body. . Then make this statement to be true. So if your problem was that you didn't have time, don't plan on going to the gym for an hour. Start off with a 15-minute morning routine that you can do when you get out of bed in your home. You start doing that everyday, your body is going to change. . I can promise you that if you try to change your mindset starting today, you will be happier. Happy Monday Everyone xo Jessica _________________________________________ ▪️FOLLOW @bodyconnectionfitness for your daily dose of mom life 🤦‍♀️, fitness tips🤸🏼‍♀️, motivation & more. ⠀⠀ _________________________________________ . . . . . . . . #MondayMotivation #MotivationMonday #MaxoutMonday #MondayRun #MondayOutfit #MindfulMonday #Cardio #Cycling #FitFam #FitLife #Fitness #FitnessMotivation #FitnessAddict #GetStrong #LiftHeavy #GirlsWhoLift #GymLife #GymTime #NoPainNoGain #PersonalTrainer #Sweat #Weights #WeightLifting #Workout #TransformationTuesday
