8 years between these pictures. You want to know the secrets to losing weight and keeping it off for good?
Well… there are no secrets.
No magic diet, or pill you can take to make the body fat melt off.
It takes consistent WORK. It takes changing bad habits for good.
It takes realizing habits you thought were good really aren’t if you are not seeing results.
It takes prioritizing your long term health over your short term wants every single day.
It takes falling in love with the process.
It takes a radical mindset shift, determination, and good information to help you along the way.
3 helpful tips to get you going on your Sustainable Living fitness journey.
- Be Patient. Sustainable results are slow going. If the process was quick and easy we would all be walking around in our dream bodies. Losing 2-4 pounds a month is amazing progress!
- Be Realistic. Set daily goals that you can actually achieve. If you haven’t exercised in months, don’t expect to hit it hard from the start, training 6 days a week and an hour everyday. This will burn you out. Daily walks and a couple 30 minute full body workouts per week are a great start.
- Celebrate your daily wins! Big and small. If you make a mistake or fall off track, that’s okay. Learning how to lose weight and keep it off is a skill. It takes practice. Don’t beat yourself up. Be kind and keep going NOW.
You are only one good habit away from being back on track.
Drink a glass of water, take a 10 minute walk, or enjoy 3 deep slow breaths. Cool. Now you are back on track!! Make those small efforts add up so you can lose weight AND keep it off for good!
