We talk about the struggles of getting into shape here all the time.
It is often difficult to keep going when “life gets in the way”, and definitely even harder to keep your performances at their peak for any length of time.
There are different ways to overcome this and i recommend the following.
First of all, make your weight loss, fat loss. muscle gain, endurance efforts whatever you are looking for in other words PUBLIC!! Tell you close friends that this is the path you are on, and you would appreciate their support when times get tough, because you’re definitely going to need someone who bats for you in your corner!!
It may be something like your closest friend measuring your waist every month, and hips too.
You know by now hopefully that i do not consider the weighing scales a true record of your progress.
Put up a calender in your kitchen and mark off your workouts AS YOU DO THEM!! If you start skipping your workouts, make yourself accountable to your friend, and ask them to kick your behid if you start slacking!!!
Try this old classic, put a photo of yourself on the fridge, you know the old photo when you looked terrific!!! That should be a constant daily inspiration on how you really can look!!!
This getting in shape “thingy” is an ongoing process, and you need a structure right behind you thats going to help you in the tough times, as well as pat you on the back all the fun, fat loss get in shape moments start to happen!! These times are just as important!!!!
By making yourself truly accountable to yourself and at least to one person you trust and respect, you are far more likely to achieve those goals you promised yourself in the first place!!!
