FIND YOUR WHY
We all want to look good when we are at the beach or going out for a special occasion. But are those reasons enough to keep you focused on exercise and healthy eating? For some the answer is yes, for others there has to be a deeper reason. Only you can determine what will keep you motivated.
Perhaps you've had a recent visit to the doctor and your cholesterol was high, your border line diabetic, your arteries are starting to glog, etc. These are all very important reasons to get off the sofa and start moving. Also to plan your diet better.
Maybe your knees are starting to hurt from the excess weight. For me that was becoming a problem. I'm on my feet all day for my jobs. Sometimes for a double shift. It was starting to become too much. It's amazing how much relief I've gotten after taking off some weight. This is not only true for your knees, but hips, ankles and back
Are you a parent with younger children? It takes a lot of energy to keep up with them. Can you go to the park, pool, or just run around the back yard without being too tired?
Whatever your why might be hold onto it when you don't feel like exercising or packing that healthy meal. It just might motivate you to get going
