Be Successful In Your Fitness Goals!

I am so proud of my clients. Denise just e-mailed me and she has lost over 55lbs and now comes in under 200 pounds for the first time she can remember! While she battles on, she has lost some serious weight and wants to get to her goal. Her secret? Trying! Even a small setback is just small, get back on it and do it!

1) Walking is great! Get out and walk for 30 minutes. If you feel like snacking, get out and walk some more. The craving will go away.

2) Plan ahead! Make some meals in advance so you have the time to get to the gym. If you normally make three chicken breasts for the day, make six and save them in the fridge for the next day. You will then have time to get to the gym and get a good workout in.

3) What if you can't walk? What if you can't get around too easily? Simple. Do what you can. If all you can do is lift a can of soup to start for 10 reps, do that. Keep striving for more. We'll be here to help and to praise your efforts.

4) Write it all down! If you say to yourself that you are not going to the gym because your feet are sore, write it down. If your feet are that sore, see a doctor! If your arms are sore, work your legs, just do something!! Write it all down and see how silly some of your excuses are.

5) I'M TELLING!! LOL! Tell everyone you are trying to get healthy! Make it public knowledge and tell them you want them to help you get to your goals. Surround yourself with support and success comes easy.

6) E-mail me and sign up for your own support program. We can e-mail you and call you every day if you need us to. Get your friends to send encouraging e-mails as well!

7) Never say never! Never give up! Your mind put you where you are today and it will put you where you want to be tomorrow.
