Jumpstart your weight loss!
Wouldn’t it be great if there were jumper cables that we could attach to our thighs to get our weight loss engines rev’d up?! I know that I would buy them! Short of having fat loss jumper cables, how best can we jumpstart our efforts?
I think the best way to do so is to write down 5 things that your weight hinders you from doing today that you would really like to do in your lifetime.
I know people have goals of rock climbing but today can not even walk around the block, but having the goal to rock climb some day serves as a daily motivator to take the first few necessary steps towards realizing their bigger goals.
What would your top 5 To-Do list contain?
• Rock climbing
• Wearing a certain size clothing
• Looking great for an upcoming event
• Doing public speaking
• Getting a better job or a raise
• Having sex with the lights on?!
• Skiing
• Going dancing
• Showing your dogs
The list is as varied as our lives and lifestyles are, but I am sure there are some things that you can name that you really really want to do but aren’t doing now either because you are embarrassed by your weight, physically unable to do so because of your weight or just don’t think that you could do it.
In any event, identifying some things that you WANT out of life can serve as a great motivator in getting them.
Now that you have a few things listed that you would like to do, write down 3 actions that you should take over the next month that would help you get closer to realizing the most important one to you.
I would recommend that you incorporate drinking more water, increasing your exercise time and limiting food vices in your list of actions. I am confident that they will help you to realize any and all of these goals.
Now, set a plan to get each of the 3 actions ingrained in your daily schedule each day. Make specific tasks that will help you do this. For example:
1.Drink 8 ounces of water each hour that I am at my desk.
2.Walk for 10 minutes each 2 hours—that will add up to 40 minutes of walking over the course of the typical work day! Or, wear a pedometer and shoot for getting 10,000 steps a day (if you only do 2,000, then GRADUALLY build by 10% each week or two until you are safely and comfortably to 10,000!—don’t try to change overnight!)
3.Bust your worst food vice. If a daily candy bar is your “thing”—change it to a daily apple.
These simple changes will jumpstart you weight loss and have you coasting towards a healthier lifestyle in no time!
Finally, I LOVE this AD!
