How many of you sat contemplating what you would like to accomplish this year for your “New Year’s resolution? Most americans vow to themselves to become more healthy and fit to eat better, etc. As you start devising your plan on how to do this your mind starts going thru the different stages of change - the beginning stages where you are so excited to start because it’s like a fresh start or a clean slate; you make preparations with buying food, getting a trainer etc. Later in your journey to becoming “healthy and fit” you start to grind it out just get thru it week after week after week...and just when you start thinking to yourself WTH am I doing this for (usually because your fat loss starts to stagnate or the choices for your meals become blah and boring). You get a nice compliment from family and friends or the scale showing loss of pounds or the before pics to see the visible changes from where you first began this journey. This is when you tell yourself “this is why I started my journey,” and a refreshed new vigor awakens within you to get back on track with your journey.
Remind yourself why you started this journey in the first place. Sometimes workouts will get in the way of busy schedules and they are put off or the foods chosen will become to hard to prepare because lack of time. There will be setbacks and discouraging days to where you just want to take breaks - IT’S OK, take them. It’s a phase and it sucks but you’ll get thru it if you want the end result bad enough.
Your decision to start or stop is always in your hands it doesn’t need to be work day in and day out but a process that you find enjoyment in. If you find you are the type that needs the encouragement and motivation - you can always reach out to the team at HFA we would love to help you with your fitness and nutrition and to keep you on track with all of your goals.
