Starting a new fitness plan or diet never seems to be easy. People dive right in to making massive lifestyle changes (that usually start on a Monday) and by Wednesday are frustrated, disappointed and anxious for the following Monday to come so they can start all over again.
It's time to break this crazy cycle! Remember the true definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome!! It's time to make some SMART Goals and get started immediately. What can you do right now (as soon as you are finished reading this article) to move one step closer to your goal? For example, maybe you are wanting to start an exercise program, start with a brisk walk on your lunch hour. Do a few push=ups, sit ups or squats during the commercial. It doesn't have to be so hard that you are unable to move for the next couple days. It just has to be something.
Same thing goes for your diet. Make small, achievable changes that over time really start to add up. Maybe you love cream in your coffee every morning, try and switch to half and half, then take the next step and switch to milk. Every small change you make like that decreases your caloric and fat intake. Add one new vegetable serving to your diet each day. Have a handful of carrots with your lunch, pack some fresh pea pods as a snack.
These goals are easy to do and set you up for success. The feeling of success empowers you... you feel more confident, less overwhelmed and ready to conquer the next step. Keep moving in that direction and before you know it, you'll have made some massive lifestyle changes. All without the guilt or frustration.
OK, time for you to take that first step... what's it going to be? We'd love to hear what you are going to do today!
Questions, we're here for you!
