It's Never Too Late To Start Over

Starting slow is still a start. 

Remember why you started.

If you’re tired of starting over, stop giving up. 

Everyone starts somewhere…just keep going.    

Every day is a new beginning, take a deep breath and start again. 

Stop saying I wish, start saying I will 

Do what you have always wanted to do, it’s never too late to start.

Start now. Make it happen! 

It’s never too late to start over. It’s never too late to be happy. 

Motivation gets you started habit keeps you going. 

Imagine a new story for your life and start living it.

Starting over sucks, so keep going. 

Stop wishing, start doing.

The key to success is to start before you are ready.

Think big, start small.

You don’t have to be great to start but you have to start to be great!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! May 2015 be your best year ever!

I Did is Much Stronger Than I Will

I recently found a way to make myself work out every day: First I decided to commit to working out every day by just starting very small. On day 1 I was only motivated to workout for 2 minutes (Yes, I know, sounds too little right?). But EVERY DAY thereafter I decided that my absolute minimum would be 2 minutes. No matter how demotivated I felt, I was determined to do my 2 minutes. This goal was so small that it was almost impossible not to do it. By day 3 or 4 I had doubled it to 4 minutes. One week later I felt very comfortable to do 15 minutes, because it was beginning to feel like a HABIT. If on any day I did not feel like working out I would make myself do my minimum of two minutes. By week 2, I was doing 30-45 minutes EVERY DAY. Now it's over a month since I started this new way of staying motivated and I now workout for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes daily (on my elliptical, spin bike, plus YouTube workout videos).
Working out daily has now become my habit, it would seem as strange to me to not work out as it would to not brush my teeth. If you find yourself saying "I will do my workout" and then find yourself procrastinating, but you really want to say "I DID my workout today" consider starting off with a ridiculously short time of just two minutes, but make sure you do those two minutes EVERY DAY. Within a few weeks to a month you'll find this has become a habit that you'll enjoy and be proud of, which in turn will motivate you to want to exercise for even longer.

Successful Weight Loss is a Mind Game

Successful weight loss is a mind game…to reshape your body, first reshape your mind.

Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable

Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Hmm…what do I mean by that? Many things. Firstly, doing things that make you uncomfortable yields change. And guess what? The more you experience that discomfort, the more comfortable it will become. But unless you try you’ll never know, will you? You’ll never get to the other side. So until you decide to push yourself harder at the gym; try new foods; confront a family member or a co-worker about something that’s bothering you; learn how to face and manage your anxiety or depression; make conscious efforts to break bad habits…you will stay right where you are in this moment. Are you OK with that? Do you want to settle for good enough? Or continuously feel like you are just hanging on? I hope not. And  I believe it was Einstein who said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.” Albert was a smart cookie. So change. evolve. get uncomfortable. You will be OK. Source

Hydration Matters

One of the most important habits to develop on your weight loss and fitness journey is to drink more water.

Focus On One or Two Well-Defined Goals

“Most people never really get focused about fitness,” says Mike Robertson, MS, CSCS, co-owner of Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training in Indianapolis. “They switch programs every few days or not at all. They miss workouts for weeks at a time.”

As a result, no matter how earnest our intentions, many of us miss the mark. Not for lack of trying, but because we don’t have a winning blueprint or a strategy. “It’s only when you focus on one or two well-defined goals and follow a clear plan to accomplish them that you start to make real progress,”

Robertson, along with many other leading trainers, is articulating a fitness truth grounded in the basic tenets of business: If you want to accomplish any complex, challenging objective, you have to set clear goals, approach each of your hurdles systematically, routinely assess progress, and course-correct when necessary.
