How often have you sat there on a Sun. afternoon stuffing yourself with an afternoon meal and announcing to your loved ones that “tomorrow I am beginning my diet,” only to have Mon. roll around and you are right back to your old habits? How many New Year’s resolutions and post-Holiday season guarantees have you made to start that next diet, but instead observed yourself quickly fade back to the old routine inside a week or less?
You had the right intentions, the right products, the right books, the right research, the right everything. Perhaps you even lost a pound or 2, only to regain them 7 days later as your new weight program came to a sudden halt. “you revealed you had the right intentions, but what did you do to turn those intentions into a winning plan of action? You claimed you had enough will power to see it thru, but will power only goes so far when it comes to weight loss. Will power is similar to a passing burst of energy it excites you, incentivizes you, and gives you a taste of victory but then suddenly dies out as fast as it was mustered.
It’s a common myth that aerobic exercise tones / firms muscles. Resistance exercise ( weight coaching ) is where real toning / firming of muscles happens. Doing both aerobics and weight coaching is the optimal way to lose more fat and gain more muscle. Research is suggesting that the muscle loss found in old folk does not come from age, but shortage of activity. Even a young person who doesn’t get sufficient exercise can lose muscle mass and strength. Instead it builds bone mass, increases the metabolism and tones and firms muscles, giving a leaner look. It is imperative to do both aerobics and strength exercises. This overloads the heart and lungs and causes them to work harder than at rest. There are loads of options to choose between today.
Patience is a virtue when it comes to weight loss looking in the mirror every day is the same as the observed pot that never boils. Instead, try gauging your results on longer amounts of time a week, a month, or more. Goals with dates attached to them help you put that “mental skin” in the game and keep your endurance going. A clear image of all these factors will put you in the weight loss mind-set. I know I lost 35 pounds in a quarter in 2001, and I am still at my ideal weight 4 years after. So be a “Good Loser:” Set your SMART weight loss goals endure achieve and enjoy the results.
