Today's blog post is about having fun on a weight loss program. You shouldn't think of this as a program per se it's a lifestyle change, it's a way of future living.
Our mindset has to be changed because when we mention the word 'diet' we immediately think restrictions.
When in fact
When in fact
The original meaning of diet is Middle English: from Old French diete (noun), dieter (verb), via Latin from Greek diaita 'a way of life'.
So in actual fact one should not be looking at a diet as restricting one's intake of food but as a way of life!
Now we got the meaning out of the way, let's have some fun with it. Look at your current habits, do you just go to work come home, eat, sit down in front of the TV then go to bed?
The first thing you have to do is to
change your habits....
Had a hard day at stressful, hard day at work? Go for a long walk before coming home to clear your head, listen to music that will bring positivity into your 'being' or get to the GYM to work out your frustrations there.
Go Shopping and pick up all the wrong snacks?? Yep hands up I have too. Do you know why? because you are hungry and you just get the wrong taste up in your head when you are walking around the isles. Instead always make a list and make sure you eat first, before you go shopping, that way you won't impulse buy the wrong foods.
Hands up if your guilty of wanting to go to the GYM, but after you came back home from work to pick up your gym kit you just couldnt make it back out the door....
Try instead, getting yourself into a routine, bring your gym kit with you, and either try a lunch time workout, or go straight after work, don't stop home first...
Personally I find that first thing in the morning is good with me, as I can get my workout out of the way and it leaves me feeling invigorated!
Motivation! or lack of right...
Make sure you partner up with a few friends or people with a vested interest and see if you can do regular workouts together. Survey's have shown that people who are successful at losing weight do so with accountability partners.
So that's it my short post on sticking to a programme and getting the most out of it.
