Putting short term discomfort before long term pleasure, satisfaction and fulfilment is essential to make your results long lasting and more real. That’s not pleasant reading for most, but it’s true if you want real results, and you want to create strong foundations with your health.
Fitting in your first week of exercise is relatively easy, classed as a “honeymoon period” and you are seemingly on your way.
Then the next week becomes more difficult, things “crop up” and it sometimes becomes easier not to make it. Your dreams seem to be disappearing before you even started properly.
You need to immediately create another schedule so your training fits in with your life. If you don’t do this, then “life” will always overtake your training and you will never get your 3 make a difference sessions a week in. This may be uncomfortable and tough to do, but you being fitter and healthier means ultimately you will be able to contribute far more to those immediately around you in all areas of your and their lives.
Same with your food, making those short term pleasure decisions of consuming too much sugary foods and drinks will destroy all the hard work you do in the gym.
Make sure you go to the supermarket with a pre written list full of healthy choices. If you go in with an open mind, then its very likely that anything will go into that trolley. You have to be disciplined with what you put into your shopping trolley because once it ends up in the house, it’s 100% certain you and your family will eat it at some stage.
To get where you want to do, the discipline is eating healthy and making your sessions is of paramount importance. It’s not always easy, especially to start with, but the long term value of doing this is a massive investment in your health and will pay big dividends for years to come.
