Get Motivated, Start Working Out To Get Fit Now Not Later
I don't know how many times I've quit after getting minimal results. I thought to myself it was enough, I feel accomplished, only to slip back into bad habits and have all my hard work I did in that short period of time go to waste. I always think, what if I kept it up for a year or longer.. where could I be now, what could I have accomplished. Would I feel less miserable?
Nutrition boils down to simple chemistry and math. Burn more, eat less. You don't want to eat too much less, you still need to keep that metabolism going, so remember to eat small meals at least every few hours. And remember you have to burn 3,500 calories to burn off a pound. Do you have to sit at a gym for hours until you burn that much in one sitting? No. Your body is constantly burning calories all day.. so don't worry if you don't put in a whole lot of time at the gym, if your just starting 30 minutes a day a few times a week is a good start. Build from there.
Same as the first picture... be patient and just keep going. Imagine where you'll be next year at the same time. No one ever got overweight or unhealthy by making healthy choices and exercising. You didn't pack on the pounds over night.. you won't lose them over night either, or in a month for that matter. There is no short cut to lose weight. You need to put the work in, and the results will be your reward. Try keeping a weight and fitness diary, record your weight, how many reps you did each time at the gym to remind yourself of how far you've come. Take pictures to create a visual timeline of your progress. It will remind yourself of how far you've come, and not to give up and throw all your hard work away.
You want to see results, it's simple... workout. Find something that you like to do and stick with it. Exercising should be fun. Try zumba, boxing, exotic dancing, cross fit, running.. whatever YOU WILL DO to keep you motivated and wanting to work out.
Want to inspire others, get started now. Changing your habits and getting results may be enough to motivate others. Once they see you dropping the pounds and getting in shape they may consider that inspirational enough to start themselves.
Try to push yourself a little more each time, you want to build up your endurance and strength.. Not stay the same. If you want to see results, push yourself a little harder each time. And give it your ALL, remember your doing it for you.. and YOU ARE WORTH IT.
