Sometimes we think achieving lasting weight loss isn’t in the cards for us. When beginning a new exercise routine, it is easy to find determination, but as the first few workouts end, the motivation often wanes. What can you do to make sure you’re successful?
Identifying your goal is the first step in a successful weight loss program. Do you hope to shed those last 10 pounds that have been bugging you, or are you planning on a dramatic, lifestyle changing weight loss? You should figure out exactly why you want to lose weight. Is it because you want more energy, or because you have a specific goal in mind, like dropping a few dress sizes?
Weigh yourself weekly and chart your progress. Write your weekly weight down in a journal. Pick out an attractive journal and keep all of your records in it. Record what you eat each day, so you can stay accountable. Writing it down will make you more conscious.
When your stomach is crying out for food, it’s very easy to fall into the trap of choosing the wrong thing to eat. You are not thinking about what is good for you and your diet. Avoid this by having snacks on hand and make time for your meals. Take your own food with you to avoid eating out. This reduces your food costs and the food you prepare yourself will be healthier and lower in calories.
A weight loss plan that incorporates both diet and exercise is best. It is important that you take part in workouts that you enjoy a minimum of five times a week. Choosing a workout that you genuinely enjoy can make your exercise time a priority in your schedule instead of something you forget about. Maybe you like chilling with your friends. Shoot some hoops with them! Do you enjoy dancing the night away? Hit a Jazzercise class! Do you love nature? Go on a hike in the great outdoors or explore your local park.
It’s very simple: if there is no junk food in your house, you won’t eat junk food while at home. Keep an abundance of healthy choices like fresh fruit and veggies on hand to help you control any cravings. Avoid temptation by making sure only healthy, nutritious foods enter your house.
Reach out to your family and friends. Your true friends will be glad to answer. Be sure to gather supportive people around you. Your support system is there to give you the advice and encouragement you need to proceed toward your goal. When your motivation is low, then reach out for support to help you get back on track.
