Change...

We want change - but do we really want it?   

We say we want to weigh less, have a better job, have closer relationships, etc. but what we get is exactly what we put into ourselves – to make changes in our lives we have to want it and make small sacrifices to have those changes we really want.  I know, easier said than done especially when it comes to weight loss.

For most of us it can be an overwhelming task to take on with all the magazines and social media hyping all the “how to’s” and “you can look like this if….” information and to some this can be quite a lot to deal with all at once.  This is where you need a sound nutrition/training plan to follow (head over to the Health and Fitness department for help on this). You need to be well prepared to execute a plan set for YOU.

Realizing that sacrifices will be part of the program, will require you to plan ahead.  Also, you need to make adjustments when the plan isn’t working anymore (which will eventually happen, but that’s where your coach/trainer can help you deal with this).  It may seem like a lot to deal with - it’s not necessarily easy to do at first, but trust me, you will get better at dealing with it as time goes by.

The key to getting better is to always make an honest effort and being true to yourself to stick to the plan.  If you ever find yourself wanting to quit or stop doing the necessary steps to get you to your ultimate goal - always remember why you started this journey in the first place.
