TELLING IT LIKE IT IS


Listen, getting in shape is all about setting goals. Losing weight, building muscle, and getting rid of the unhealthy eating habits take guts and perseverance. You have been dealing with something big these last few weeks. You decide what you want, and make it specific and concrete. Think hard about what you want, and use your journal to keep track. Once you have figured out where you want to go, here is a way to get there and stay there.
Learn how to make decisions you can stick with.
Remember, you are not just going on a diet, you are changing your lifestyle, establishing a pattern of health that will enhance the quality of your life. Think big, but choose small, attainable goals - lose a few pounds to start or fit into pants one size smaller - and build on those goals as you reach each one.
Allow yourself room for setbacks. One setback is only one setback - it is not the end of the world, nor is it the end your your journey toward a better you. You don't have to give up. Just get back on the bandwagon and keep going.
Walk the line between self-denial and self-indulgence. It is the middle ground between the two that will offer you the best foundation for building your new life. Maintain your discipline by allowing yourself little pleasures every now and again.
Understand that there are no mistakes. The things you used to think of as mistakes are now just learning experiences, so don't waste time beating yourself up. You will encounter small failures - everyone does. But you'll achieve success too. Just remember, every pound you gain can be lost.
Keep in mind that faith in yourself and your work is what will keep you striving for the best.
Now get in the zone and push as hard as you can!!!
You all have worked so hard.
