Challenges Associated with Getting Back on Track and How to Overcome Them
The level of uncertainty that comes along with weight loss. For this reason alone, I often suggest that we refer to this journey as a lifestyle change. Now, with all of the other things we have going on in our lives, such as home, job and school issues, how is their time to take on one more challenge one might ask. Well, the trick is to take small steps that will have a huge reward. Let’s talk about what these steps look like and how we can implement them into our day to day lives.
Weight loss has often been associated with being on a “journey” mainly due to the fact that one never knows when their goal will be achieved. This fact alone can come with some anxiety due to
Plan of Action
Support System – Setting yourself up to be successful is always the key. You have to move with intention and make sure that everyone in your immediate circle understands what you are doing and asking them to be on board to support your efforts is a huge first step.
Kitchen Makeover – DON’T BE AFRAID TO THROW IT OUT.
I live by the notion that if it’s in the house you open the possibility of you eating it. Get rid of the processed foods “junk food” in your cabinets and refrigerator. All sugary drinks, foods that are made with white flour and high in sodium. Also including, artificial sweeteners, hydrogenated oils, and refined vegetable oils.
Kitchen Tools – THIS IS HUGE
Make sure that you have the following:
- A good set of pots and pans because I can’t tell you how many times I heard people say that they don’t enjoy cooking because their pots are crappie. I enjoy cooking because I can control what I’m eating.
- Vitamix blender OR high powered blender
- Food Processor
- Crockpot
- Chopper
Plan your meals (Journal)
I use my journal in the planning phase. I write in my journal what a perfect meal plan for the week would look like if I wanted to get a certain result. In other words, I say to myself how/what would I eat if I wanted to lose 3 pounds. Then, I write what I am going to eat for the week and as the days come, I eat what a wrote. Whenever I journal after, I have eaten, I leave room for mishaps and I often find myself saying “why did I eat that? OR damn, I messed up.
Once you have journaled, then you are ready to shop for ingredients. Shop the perimeter, and buy FRESH because we are what we eat.
Now, we all know that a great body is made in the kitchen, at least 80%, but the other 20% is made in the gym. Just as you plan what you’re going to eat, you have to plan when you get moving. Whether it is in the gym or through an activity, it has to be prioritized because we all need to live a heart-healthy lifestyle full of movement.
Now, with that being said, finding the right Fitness program that can make you feel like you want to be there and isn’t intimidating, fun-filled and filled with RESULTS is what I believe to be the key to your success. So, I encourage everyone to find a fitness buddy and get started today with no delay.
