Some of you are going through a fresh start at the moment, and that’s always a good thing.
Don’t look back at your failures of the recent past, you can learn from them. They can only be classed as failures IF you don’t learn from them, simple as that. They can be classed as “learning” experiences if you proceed with confidence in the future, knowing you’re not going to go back to the place that caused misery and unhappiness before.
Unfortunately, the process of putting on weight, then taking it off, then piling it back on and this time 5% more again, can be deeply distressing! Some of you have been through it a number of times, and it doesn’t make it any easier of course.
This is an opportunity to put them to rest, and tell yourself you simply won’t accept the faddy diets you used to go on, you won’t fall for buying a faddy piece of exercise equipment again that you never use, you wont accept mediocrity in your training attendance.
For example, how many times have you wondered how you’re putting weight on in a particular month, and if you go back through that month in your head, you would have realised you may have missed a lot of scheduled workouts, the one day a week drinking rule has become a two-three day a week rule, and your stricter eating habits have now become somewhat less than strict, and the one day a week “have what you like” rule has become a three to four day a week rule!!!
So coming back to our point, making a fresh start is exactly that, there is NO GOING BACK this time.
If you are focused on getting your mind and body in top shape, you have to choose which lifestyle you really want. Is it the pain of constant disappointment and regret? Or will you be brave and actually DO IT this time and make it sustainable for the rest of your life? No regrets and no going back, you have to remember that so lets go!!!!
