Motivation Monday Tip: Look past the final image and know what’s real. The health and fitness world can seem very superficial and can even be a bit discouraging when it’s hard to discern what is real. Despite where I am now physically and professionally, I never forget where I started. I spent hours in my pink bedroom, googling “workouts to get abs” and “what to eat to lose fat.” I looked at pictures of fit women online and magazine covers and thought, “they’re perfect…I’ll never look like that.” As the saying goes, “comparison is the thief of joy,” and these days, we are comparing our real bodies and lives to photoshopped images and staged shows. Rather than feel frustrated by these false advertisements, I hope we can all become examples of women who let their guards down and are transparent. 
You may see photos like this on my Instagram and blog each day, and you may see those “perfect” shots across social media and magazine covers. Scroll down for what goes into it.
Behind that “perfect” picture are countless ones like these that don’t make the cut. I just may be one of the few that will actually share. Don’t let any image out there discourage you! Align yourself with inspirations who are real and you fill find yourself experiencing real results!
