It can seem impossible at times to achieve weight loss goals. One of the hardest things to do is to get started. The next hardest thing to do is to do it again. What can you do to make sure you’re a success?
Choosing your fitness goal is step number one. Have you set a goal of how much weight you want to shed? Is it your goal to slide into a new pair of jeans that are several sizes smaller, or just feel more svelte in the clothes you already wear? Are you in need of a better figure and a bit more energy?
Charting your progress can be a great way to remind yourself of the results you’re getting, and stay motivated. Maintain a journal, and record everything that you eat. Review your journal entries before you go to sleep to make sure you are staying on track with your caloric goals. Use that same journal to keep track of your weight from week to week. Graphs help motivate because they give you a visual of what is happening to your body.
It is best to shop for and prepare food when you are full. Being hungry while making food choices can be counterproductive. However, if you are in a situation where you have to make food choices while you are hungry, try to make good choices. To prevent making poor decisions, keep healthy snacks handy, and put some advance thought into your meal preparations. Try to pack your lunch rather than dining out. Eating in is a fabulous way to shed weight and save your hard earned cash.
The best way to lose weight is by incorporating a healthy diet along with regular exercise. While it is not necessary to exercise on a daily basis, you should do so several times per week. If exercise appears to be boring or tedious to you, you should try to find other activities that are more fun and enjoyable to incorporate into your workout routine. For instance, if dancing is your thing, how about signing up for a dance class?
Eliminate junk food from all of the places that you spend significant amounts of time and eat on a regular basis. It may seem drastic, but if it isn’t available, then you can’t eat it. Surround yourself with healthy food and snacks anyplace you eat on a regular basis. Have fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts handy for when you feel like snacking.
Make exercise a friendly affair, and ask a buddy to join you. Holding yourself accountable for your workout can be difficult, just as it is easy to find reasons not to workout. Having someone to exercise with will give you the motivation you need to continue on. You will also have someone to keep you motivated and give you advice about losing weight.
