What to Do When Your January Motivation Starts to Fade (A February Reality Check)

Did you start January strong with all the motivation and now it's February and you're exhausted? The New Year's energy is gone and you're wondering if you're already failing at your weight loss goals? You're not.. You just need a plan for when motivation fades.

In this episode, I'm giving you a February reality check. Because here's what happens: we make plans for the perfect version of ourselves in January, but we don't make a plan for when life gets hard. When we're tired. When it's freezing cold and we can't get outside. When all we want is comfort food and the couch.

So what do you do when all the cards are stacked against you? You figure out your minimum baseline. The one, two, three things you can do on your worst days to keep moving forward. Not perfectly, but forward. Because something is always better than nothing.

I'm sharing why you need two plans, how to figure out your minimum baseline, and the difference between being persistent versus being consistent. Spoiler: the only difference between someone who loses weight and someone who doesn't is that the person who loses weight doesn't give up. They just keep starting again.

If you need help creating a plan that actually fits YOUR life, I have a couple one on one coaching slots available. Email stacy@sascy.com or DM @sascycycling on Instagram with the word INTERESTED and we can chat about what will work best for you.

February is hard. But you don't have to give up. You just have to keep going.
