The Scales Are Not The Only Way To Measure Progress

The scales cannot show ALL your progress. Sometimes while we are doing the wrong thing we are also in other areas doing the right thing. For example, If you drank more water today but still have a daily chocolate habit, the scales won't show that you're drinking more water. If you used to be really pessimistic about your ability to lose weight and today you've got a sudden burst of positive self-belief, the scales won't show this change in mindset. So notice, and take note of (perhaps in a journal) the many areas where you're making  positive changes towards a healthier, fitter you.

Difficult Does Not Mean The Same As Impossible

I was watching Arthur's story again today on YouTube and it inspired my words for today's picture. I created a post on him a few month's ago because his story is so inspirational. It's a great reminder that 'difficult' does not have to mean the same as 'impossible'.

Keep Trying

So many of my posts are about persistence, perseverance and never giving up because I believe if you keep trying, despite the obstacles, setbacks, binges, zero workout days, etc, you will improve, you will find new solutions to old problems....slow progress is better than no progress...so just keep trying.

Keep On Trying

Never give up until you've given out all your very best. It's better to fail trying than wondering what could have happened if you tried. 

Although in the past I've created some of my own original drawings for this blog, for the sake of speed most times I usually made do with stock images found on the net. It’s become more difficult to find free stock fitness images online so I've recently decided to create many more of my own drawings and graphics....I hope you like today’s drawing.

Focus On What's Going Right

If you're stuck on a weight loss plateau you can prevent discouragement by focusing on what you're doing right. You might be drinking more water, cooking healthier meals, eating more fruits and veggies, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, etc. Focus on what you're doing right and this could help you find the encouragement and motivation to do more.

You Will Succeed If You Persevere

Don't give up...Hang in there....and you will succeed!

Make Persistence Your Best Friend

You will experience many setbacks on the road to fitness and successful weight loss. Without the ability to persist through the setbacks you will surely give up. If you're experiencing setbacks and disappointments, the antidote to those setbacks is a big dose of persistence, again and again and again.
