Your path to successful weight loss may become clouded. Even though your weight loss goals started easily, you will likely notice your motivation decline as time goes on. What can you do to make yourself as motivated as others you see around you? What are the secrets to other people’s success?
Understanding the purpose of your weight loss is essential when starting a fitness plan. Do you want to drop a large amount of weight, or are you just looking to slim down? Are you hoping that regular exercise will make you more energetic? What do you hope to accomplish by beginning an exercise program?
Keeping track of your weight loss each week will help you know how well you’re doing. Writing down your weight once a week, and keeping a written record of everything you eat and drink will help you decide to continue what you are doing, or make changes to your eating habits. By keeping track of everything you are consuming, you have more determination to select healthier options.
Try not to allow yourself to become famished. It is hard to control what you are eating when you are really hungry. Decide what you are going to eat in advance and keep snacks with you at all times. Make your lunch from home and bring it with you whenever you can. This can help you save your waistline and your money.
Every weight loss plan must include both a healthy diet and an effective exercise program. Choosing a workout that you find engaging will make it easier to achieve the combination of diet and exercise that results in steady weight loss. Finding a friend to take walks with is a great motivator to work out. Get your family out and about and stay active with bike rides and hikes in the woods. Before you know it, you will have put in a good workout without ever having to call it exercise!
Maintaining a healthy diet means getting junk food out of your home. You cannot eat what you do not have, so make sure that you only stock healthy foods in the house. Keep healthy snacks on hand – fresh fruit, crunchy celery or carrot sticks, anything that appeals to you and is good for your health. You should not buy any foods that you are tempted to eat in excess. Common indulgences are chips, cookies and candy. By making these types of food extremely inconvenient to snack on the less chance you have of breaking down and eating them.
Invite a friend to exercise with you. If you only have yourself to answer to, you will find it easy to make excuses. If someone else is exercising alongside you, you’ll be less likely to take a break when the workout starts to wear you down. You will always have someone to turn to when you feel discouraged and exhausted by the sheer effort of weight loss.
