Focus On Fitness

Focus on fitness and weight loss will take care of itself.

This has been my experience. When I first began my weight loss journey my focus was entirely on weight loss, but once I lost 30lbs I realised the only way to continue losing weight, without starving myself or being obsessively focused on calories would be to focus on fitness as a lifestyle. This new focus is helping me shed the extra pounds and it will do the same for you.

Focus On Your Goal

Finding ways to stay focused on your weight loss and fitness goals is one of the most important things you can do to make sure you achieve them. The initial excitement, enthusiasm and momentum that comes when we first decide on a goal can all too easily wane and disappear if we don't implement strategies to help us stay on track.The most successful slimmers are the most focused slimmers.

Exercise First Thing In The Morning

Exercise Motivation Tip 5: As soon as you wake up, get dressed for your workout.
Try this little trick  tomorrow morning...
As soon as you wake up,  get dressed for your workout....don’t have a cup of coffee, or read your email, or do anything else that you would normally do at this time.  Once you have your workout clothes on start working out. If you do this every morning you’ll create an extremely  powerful habit that will guarantee  you never, ever miss your workout again.

This trick worked for me this morning...While still groggy-eyed I was lacing up my trainers and putting on my workout clothes. I would normally have headed straight for the coffee and my computer and would tell myself I'll exercise "some time later" - on many days, "later" just didn't arrive. Today it felt sooooo good to be doing my workout first thing in the morning before the excuses had time to enter my mind. Now, I can't wait for tomorrow morning to come so I can try this little trick all over again!
