“The reason most people fail instead of succeed is because they sacrifice what they want most for what they want at the moment”
This quote is so true, and so applicable to many of us! Whether in fitness or in any other aspect of our lives, it's a lot easier to go for the 'right now' instead of what's right for us! We need to keep our eye on the big picture - - Focus on our goals.
For many of my clients, their goal is to look better and get healthier. For that grueling hour of bootcamp each morning (haha!), it's easy to focus on that goal. But as the afternoon rolls on and the vending machine starts tempting you, it gets harder to stay focused on your goal. The best plan is have a plan of attack!
Make sure that you are eating enough! I eat a small snack every 2-3 hours to fight hunger away.
Keep healthy snacks with you to help you avoid the temptation. It's easier to grab a protein bar out of your bag than trying to find something healthy at the convenience store or your office vending machine.
Drink lots of water- carry a water bottle with you.
Take a short break from work- go for a walk or just get away from your desk & start moving!
Remember that exercise is very important to your health- BUT it's only part of the picture! You have to eat right and get enough rest also!
I can't possibly list all of the tips, but those are a few that work for me! The main thing is to know what your goal is. WRITE IT DOWN!! Every time that you start to veer away from the path that will help you achieve that goal, just make a U-turn and stay on track!
Have a wonderful Monday!
