Making the connection between feeling good through exercise and eating better, is critical to your long term success in following a sound health and fitness plan. If you keep on complaining everything is hard, you make excuses not to exercise, you complain all the time that healthy food is boring, and life is not worth living without all those sauces on top to flavour them, then you are clearly arenot “making the connection”.
Let’s go over the same message once again, your body can take 12 weeks to get used to a more natural way of eating, with no artificial additives, no harmful sauces, no excess sugar, no excess fat that isn’t needed, those are the facts and sometimes you have to face the facts, and stop making the same old lame excuses, if you want to be in shape, or at least get leaner and get more energy in your life, you’re going to have to eat better full stop, drink more water and exercise with purpose, although exercising at all would make a nice little start for some.
This is a big secret for some, but making that connection is vital and numero uno!! There are many ways to get it and enjoying your exercise would be a start, but sometimes that enjoyment doesn’t come until you get a few workouts under your belt, get a routine going and start to eat well, then the feeling better process really begins and things suddenly get “enjoyable” remarkably!
Most of us do things for a reason, to avoid pain and gain pleasure. Contrary to popular belief, exercise and eating well does bring us pleasure if we do it right, and for instance, when we get compliments on how well we are looking and maybe we have lost some weight, there’s nothing better than that feeling. The short-term discomfort of getting yourself into an exercise plan will soon be outweighed by about a thousand different benefits, let’s get out there and make the connection once and for all!
