“Your day just got crazy and you’re plotting on skipping your workout. Here’s how the plot thickens.”
Once you start thinking skipping your workout is an option, the likelihood of you going gets very slim. Skip two workouts in a row and you’re 60% more likely to skip the next one as well. Instead, think of reasons why you should go, why you want to go. Being too busy to workout is a bad excuse. The truth is your workout can make you far more productive. If you work out over lunch it’s a fact that you’ll have more energy during the afternoon. If you’re on a trip and your time is limited, work out in your hotel room: Jog in place, do jumping jacks, and use water bottles as weights. Employ a no-excuses workout plan and you’ll be surprised how easy it is to get ‘er done.
I know there is a huge group who meets at Fair Oaks Hospital. You may want to connect with them.
“You are shooting for a big goal. Here's how to get there with small successes”
You have to remember that getting fit is more like a marathon than a sprint. While you may have one big, long term goal, set small weekly or monthly goals to get you there. This way, you'll be able to track your progress and your smaller successes will keep you motivated. Make sure you celebrate your goals too. Indulge by buying a new nail polish, getting a massage (even if it’s from your spouse), or curling up with a hot tea and a good book.
“You’re trying to eat right but tend to have set backs. Here are some forward thinking tips.”
1. Don’t hang out where the food is. At home, limit your time in the kitchen. At parties, separate yourself from the buffet table. Try to have conversations on the sofa and not at the table.
2. Think small. Take less than you think you want. You may be surprised to find you are satisfied with less.
3. Enjoy but don’t indulge. Remember, the best bites of any food are the first ones. It doesn’t get better the more you eat. Have a bite or two and be done.
