Midweek Motivator 2-16-2011

We are seven weeks into the New Year and this can be a tough stretch for people to stay motivated. Starting the year off energized and ready to tackle our weight loss, fitness and health goals is easy, but around this time every year I see people start to struggle a bit. Sound Familiar?



Let me guess... You started out in January eating well, getting more sleep, sticking with your exercise routine, but now it seems like your inner flame is burning out and you're loosing your momentum.



Guess what?! That means it is time to step it up and CHANGE YOUR ROUTINE!! Don't let it fizzle out, recommit and refocus. Here are some suggestions on how you can do something different and change things up:

• I will strength train one extra time per week
• I will take pictures of my meals for ___ day(s)
• I will take the furthest parking space
• I will refrain from eating my food directly out of its packaging
• I will go to bed 30 minutes earlier
• I will drink ___ extra glass(es) of water per day
• I will go for a walk or exercise when I feel like stress eating

Now that you've seen some ideas, I want you to pick one that you're most drawn to (it doesn't have to be on this list). Got it? Good. Now email your closest friend and TELL THEM WHAT YOU'RE UP TO!! If you verbalize you intention to someone else, you are much more likely to follow through.


What are you changing up this week? Would love to see some comments on this!

Dedicated to your success,
