Changing your life to become healthy can be cumbersome
if you have no clue where to start. For example, here are the steps most take on thier own and then fail at thier own attempts.
- You stop eating
- You buy an expensive membership to the gym
- You buy new gymshoes/ sneakers and a new workout outfit
- You buy boxed diet food, some canned fruit and very little vegetable
you dont like from the grocery store
- You contemplate on whether or not you want to take diet supplements
- You start drinking water and because you are hungry you drink more
(thats a good thing) until you BREAK...and head to McDonalds. (ssshhh...you do this in secret)
- You head to the gym feeling good, get on the treadmill, on the elliptical,
some machines...then lose your confidence.
- You gain it back, start over the next day, eat some fruit for breakfast,
a nice salad for lunch, and a salad and unseasoned chicken breast for dinner. Oh yeah, you snacked on rice cakes all day.
- Head back to the gym, with your music and a new attitude, but cant
shake the hunger feeling.
- On your way back, you justify getting a bag of lays, because you got
a 15 min. workout in on the treadmill, and spent 45 min walking around the gym playing on the machines (still can shake that
hunger).
- DISCOURAGEMENT AND COMFORT SETS IN AND YOU WILL START FRESH AGAIN NEXT
MONDAY!

MAKING UP YOUR MIND IS THE FIRST STEP.
HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL STEPS THAT MAY GUIDE YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
- Take inventory- how did you get here (healthy wise)?
What do you really want? What are you goals? How are you going to achieve your goals? Do you have a support system? What exercise
equipment do you have on hand?
- Create a few plans. For example... do a little research
on nutrition- how. when, and what are you going to eat and will it benefit you? Plan when, where, how, and how
long you are going to exercise.
- Execute your plan by deciding the importance and meaning
of you making this change to improve your life.
