Day by Day

Day by Day to achieve SUCCESS

1. START by establishing some routine in your - bedtime,  waking time, exercise time, eating time and social time. I always hear how everybody has to respond to their kids "games" and let us be real, these are games and you are dealing with your LIFE.  Which is more important???

2. Go to bed and wake at approximately the same time for each day. The body's hormones LOVE routine.

3. Eat BREAKFAST, after 8 hours there are no energy stores to draw on and not eating leads to craving of bad calories that are tempting us everywhere we travel. Take in 30 Grams of protein NOT a high carbohydrate/sugar breakfast like we have become use to. High protein shakes will help you achieve this - some as high as 24 grams. This will decrease craving and even out your day of eating.

4. Start EXERCISING simply by walking more before any other activity.  Learn to stretch.

5. Our clients resist tracking food and exercise. They do not want to journal or even fill out our convenient Blue Cards. Yet tracking food and exercise is how we keep score. Without measuring we can never get better. There are even Apps to help those who do not like to write.

6. Think before you eat and plan your eating for tomorrow.  Planning reduces binges and munchies and helps you avoid bad calories.

7. Get a COACH to get you started on your road to success.

Daily Inspirations

Don't make excuses for yourself

The key to weight loss is not only change, but the motivation to change

When one approach is not working to reach your desired goal, that's not a reason to abandon the goal. Instead, it's time to devise another approach.

Exercise regularly, whether it be walking around the block or taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

Start doing what's necessary, then do what's possible, and suddenly you'll be doing the impossible! 

It's not about how good you are, it's about how bad you want it.

You won't fail if you're not perfect, you'll fail if you're not committed to improving yourself slightly each day.

At Your Weight Loss for Life, we encourage weight loss, but not to this woman's extreme. Rachel Frederickson lost 155 pounds. While that may seem enticing, it's actually not even remotely healthy. If you take a close look at the image, you'll see that she doesn't seem to have any substance: fat OR muscle. Do you think what she lost was healthy?

Would you rather be covered in sweat at the gym, or clothes at the pool?
