Ok, so your kids are finally settled in at school and your family has gotten into the grove of juggling appointments, games, church stuff and family time. So now it’s time do what you said you were going to do. And that was getting on track with your health and fitness goals. You made a promise to yourself at the end of the summer that once everyone got settled with school and work you would head to the gym, start walking, change your bad eating habits or hire trainer. Well that time is here and that time is
NOW. What are you waiting for?
NO MORE EXCUSES! Stop putting off the healthy living and start shedding those pounds.
If you were unhappy with the way you felt and looked during the summer just think of how miserable you’ll be after the holidays. The holidays could the worst . . .if you let it. Don’t set the stage for another disappointing year. We still have two and half months before the end of the year. That is plenty of time to
CHANGE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!
Many see January as a time to wipe the slate clean and to start a new. So we put off embarking on all of our hopes and dreams until then. But change is not instantaneous. You have to learn to crawl before you can walk and walk before you can run. So if you start eating clean, setting/meeting goals along with working-out
TODAY, then by January it will all be apart of your everyday life. You will be starting the year out right. So while others are just making resolutions, you’ll be living yours out.
This is a cycle that we all know to well.
Make a resolution – keep it for 1 or 2 weeks – revert to our old habits – guilt and disappointment – more old habits – more guilt and disappointment – give up and settle back into our old lives until January comes back around. Don’t let this be your life anymore. Break the cycle by doing something about it
NOW. That is the only way to end it.
Here’s how to break the cycle
1) Start today and don’t put it off another hour (ex. grab a gallon of water and start drinking it down).
2) Keep your words. Hire the trainer, sign up for the gym membership, play with your kids until you’re out of breath and TURN THE TELEVISION OFF. Replace an hour of TV time with some physical activity.
3) Keep it lean and green. Start eating lean proteins and tons of green veggies.
4) Write it down. What are your goals? Do you have any goals? How do you plan on achieving your goals? Write it all down and make it official.
5) Keep going, not matter what. In other words, DON’T GIVE UP! Don’t let another excuse, unexpected event or disappointment keep you from achieving your goals. Life is filled with unexpected events but you don’t have to let them dictate your life. Someone else may set the stage but you determine the character you’re going to play.
Start next year off right, TODAY!
Until we meet again, Eat Clean, Train Hard and Dream BIG!
