It’s just a mind game. You know what you need to do, you just can’t always do it. Isn’t that right?
So let’s assume you know what (and what not) to eat as well as how much to exercise, and let’s focus on the real reason why you don’t. Better yet, let’s look at why you say you don’t.
- Don’t have time to exercise
- Eating on the go – too busy
- Don’t want to get up earlier to exercise – need your sleep
- Can’t afford a gym membership
- Can’t afford a trainer
- Lazy
All good reasons, but all refutable too. If you think about it, I am sure that there have been times when you have had just as much to do (or more), you’ve had the same amount of available cash (or less), and you have exercised and eaten right.
So what do you do now?
- Tell someone that you need help, such as a partner for support, to get your fitness program off the ground and keep it going. Enlist a friend.
- Make a short term, easily attainable goal. For example, walk for 20 minutes, 3 times a week. Take fried foods out of your diet too for that week.
- When you conquer that goal, set another.
- Have regular meetings or workouts with your supporter. Check in with him or her – talk food and exercise A LOT.
- Don’t force yourself to do more than you know you will. As soon as you begin to see results, you’ll naturally be able to do more due to your excitement and self-realized motivation.
Have a great day and make that call,
