Weight loss and weight gain, this swindle is certainly
causing pain. That rhymed well and makes sense if you look into it more
deeply. Steve makes two-three plans every day to get rid of his excessive
weight but fails in one of them after a week only to get back from where
he started. Why is it difficult to follow fitness program? Why do I
fail when I loose initial 5 pounds? What do I lack that makes my weight
loss impossible?
If you read between these sentences the answer lies there itself
-- fitness program, initial 5 pounds and weight loss impossible. What
Steve lacks is a proper plan and then backing up of that plan. How
do we all manage household budget? The answer would probably is working
out the expenditures setting the amounts and then what ever you are
left with is either into saving or some extended purchase for house.
We are working on a well regulated plan so chances of failure are
less or none.
Similarly when you start with weight loss initiate your plan with
a target. Like how much you want to loose in all? Assess your body
weight and the pounds you wish to loose say 20 pounds. This is foremost
aspect of any plan without target you have nothing to achieve like
Freddie who loose two pounds in a week and one in the next and then
again gains back two. This is because he is satiated with weight loss
whether it is going in the right direction or benefiting him is not
his concern.
The second significant aspect of a plan is time frame, after setting
a target workout the time frame in which you have to loose this weight.
The situation could turn really funny when one looses two pounds in
a week, half in the other and maybe another one in the subsequent
one hence turning one month plan into six months plan. It is much
more advisable to set a time frame and rather distribute weight loss
over weeks.
Ever heard of spirit of loosing weight? In the initial days our energy
levels are high, determination stern and results are fairly good.
But as the time passes the progress becomes slow and energy levels
also knocked down to some extent. What you lack here is motivation
as your plan goes through difficult phase. You can pull in few motivation
factors like trying new dresses in the store, measure your inches
from time to time so the left target gets you in action with more
zeal.
Enjoy your success at each step. If you have achieved the loss you
targeted for the week then you truly need to celebrate. When we divide
our goals into small parts it becomes vital to enjoy in between, this
relaxes your schedule and prepares you to work out even harder for
your next goal.
Avoid pessimism and stress at all steps. If you have not lost enough
weight in the beginning, don't loose heart be optimistic in your approach.
May be you were not stern or it could be water retention. So don't
worry about the inches you have not lost but all about inches that
you are going to loose soon.
Katy delivered her baby six months back and now wanted to get back
in shape. She chalked out a weight loss program that included diets
and an hour workout everyday. She targeted 25 pounds in three months
which was approximately 8-9 pounds in a month and she worked out regularly
as planned. What kept her motivated was her old pair of jeans as when
at the end of third month she fitted in them comfortably, she marked
it on her program -- goal achieved.
Such is the significance of factors that make success on any plan
successful be it weight loss or anything. Move ahead with your aim
for complete success but not without these key nodes.
