One of the biggest hurdles of weight loss is motivation! Who hasn't said, "Oh i'll start Monday!". Monday comes along and we don't start... Sound familiar? The biggest hurdle in weight loss is getting your MOVO aka motivation. I go back to the quote I gave you earlier "Today is the day you dreamt about..." because today is NOT next Monday! Here are the ways I got my MOVO back....
1. Take a photo in a bikini. It's an awful thought right? But this is the best proof of what you look like and where you will go from here.
2. Take your measurements. On the weeks when you aren't losing a pound you will be losing inches. This will be your proof.
3. Buy the book "Clean-Eating Recharged" by Tosca Reno. This gets you to the basics of food. You start to realize what it is you are putting in your mouth and what exactly it is doing for your body. Education your self by reading blogs on success stories, healthy eating, clean-eating and so forth.
4. Find a friend like Pam... and maybe if we are all lucky Pam will start her own blog / website that we can stalk!
5. Get rid of junk in your fridge and in your cabinets. Go to the store, purchase all new food, and start fresh. Include vitamins in this shopping experience.
6. Join, http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ to track what you eat. It helps. Join http://www.bodybuilding.com/ to track your weight and measurements and also look at other people's success stories.
7. Join a gym and buy some new gym outfits.
8. Write down your goal. What is it you want to accomplish? Is it weight loss, energy, self esteem, working out?
9. Get a good nights rest.
10. Begin!
