3) Something always comes up
I was pumped to start my diet unfortunately my body was not as I
checked into rehab for some knee pain I was having. In the past this would have
been the end of my diet (yes!!!) but I decided to stick it out and see what
happens. Even with limited mobility and reduced gym time I still lost weight.
The best part is when my body is fully recovered I’ve reinforced some positive
eating behavior. Setbacks are going to happen but that’s not your cue to jump
ship. Assess the situation, brainstorm alternatives, list your new steps and
execute your new solution.
This one took time to learn. When I first started my diet I
thought it was more of a Monday through Friday thing, Saturday and Sunday would
come along and I’d toss my diet out the window. Being a little wiser I now plan
for the weekend. Consistency is the ability to continue a pattern. It’s this
set pattern of exercise and diet that will allow results to come through.
Find what works and what doesn’t work. Notice your actions (or lack of), find the reason why and see if you can improve on the process. Your going to have success and failure, don't get discouraged. I am not a work out after work guy, I loathe it. I now go at 6:00 am rather than go later in the day. I then struggled on what to make for breakfast. I now list my breakfast meals on the fridge so I don't to have to think just measure and make. It works for me, what works for you?
