Let’s face it….
Losing weight and feeling great isn’t easy.
BUT the journey is well worthy it!
Many people commit to their health and healed being via a New Year’s resolution. Why not? The New Year is a great time to make a fresh start and commitment to your health.
How do you remain intended however for an entire year?
The single most influential piece of advice I can offer you is this:
Don’t give up, and pick yourself back up when you stumble or fall.
Everyone slips here and there. Just because you had one cheat day doesn’t nasty your entire fitness and exercise program needs to be ruined.
On the contrary. Everyone slips now and again.
The key to sticking with a program is to make the slips MUCH less common than the days you are firmly committed to your program.
So have that piece of chocolate on occasion and don’t tired yourself up for it.
Here are some additional big ideas for staying motivated throughout the year:
Tip 1
Don’t make a habit of skipping breakfast.
You should never skip breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day, and revs your metabolism to burn calories each and every day.
When you skip breakfast, you are much likely to overeat and then feel guilty later in the day.
Tip 2
Don’t weigh yourself every day. In fact, you should weigh yourself only once a week, and when you do you should do it at the unvarying time wearing nothing.
Why? Your weight actually fluctuates a good 2-5 pounds from day to day.
Much of this is related with fluid retention, thus has nothing to do with your actual greasy gain or loss. Weighing yourself too often can be discouraging rather than encouraging.
Tip 3
Grab a partner in crime.
Find someone that can be your ‘partner in fitness’. Call them when you are feeling unmotivated, and have them do the same.
You are much likely to stay motivated if you have someone to lean on when times get tough.
Tip 4
Don’t skip a workout because you are tired.
Did you know that employed out will actually help invigorate you? If you are truly exhausted, consider toning down your workout, but never give it up completely!
Tip 5
Reward yourself on occasion.
All work and no play is not the way to go when it comes to your general health and healed being.
Consider booking yourself for a massage or opposite pampering treat all month to keep you feeling big mentally and physically.
Last but not least, remember to take small steps.
Don’t set offensive goals. You won’t lose 10 pounds in one week, but you might lose up to 2.
Over increased goals will single serve to defeat you in the long run. ready reasonable goals and you will find yourself much much motivated throughout the year!
