Ok…here we are in 2013
already. I’ve always heard that the
older you get, time flies faster. Wow, is that ever true!!
February will mark the fourth year starting point of my eating clean and working out journey/new lifestyle. I’ll never forget how, when, and why I started which is what I want explain in this post. No matter what makes you decide to change - never finishing a diet, not working out, feeling like crap, sick of not being able to fit into your clothes, whatever…there’s always the starting point with good intentions and high hopes. After all, you have to START to be able to FINISH!
The finish line is to be at a
healthy weight, looking good, having more energy, and feeling great about your
body. But, this has to be a continual
process throughout the rest of your life.
Depending on where you’re starting from, this process can take a lot
longer than you want it to. Hey, gaining weight doesn’t take long at all, but
losing it can take a long time. It
really sucks, but it’s totally doable! Make
sure that you KNOW this, UNDERTAND this, and are willing to NOT give up during
your process. That is the reason so many
gyms are empty by the end of March.
Every New Year gym newbies give up way too fast because they’re
impatient and have expected to see immediate results. Don’t be one of them.
Goals are great! I’m so glad I made mine. Just make sure that you have short-term goals
and long-term goals. You will be sadly
disappointed if you think you’re going to look like an IFBB pro after a couple
of months. Remember:
· “Plan” how you’re going to attack it
· “Know” what is realistic for you
· “Envision” what you’re working towards
· “Don’t overthink it”…just keep doing it
Cleansing the inside of your body
by eating clean and sculpting the outside of it through weight training, will
change your life for the better. Quit
thinking about it and DO it. This time
next year you will feel incredible about your accomplishments.
