I have started a healthy eating and exercise plan every Monday for the past 12 years. I usually crack by Thursday. It’s my love of wine – gets me every time…
My trick to being disciplined is to book a holiday where bathing suit wearing will be required or purchasing an outfit that would look great if only I weighed 10 kgs less. I have a wardrobe full of 10 kgs less items. Full.
diets
I’ve tried many diets. I have the books and the online subscriptions to prove it.
I know it’s pretty simple – cut out the refined foods, move more. I just find it hard to make the time when there are TV shows to be watched, candy to be crushed and let’s face it after sitting in front of a computer all day being a slave to the corporate dollar – I deserve a treat.
exercise
We live across the road from a beautiful park with well designed walking trail – people drive from other suburbs to walk and run around this park – I watch them – rarely join them.
We have it all – rowing machine, spin bike, bench press, weights, yoga mats, pilates bells and whistles, ballet DVD’s, Wiifit and still I joined a gym to walk on their treadmill.
I just found two bikes amongst the passionfruit over growth. So that makes seven bikes for a family of four.
I wear a FitBit (steps tracker) every day. My goal is 10 000 steps per day. That’s a lot. I crack 6 500 steps most days and walking on the spot in front of the TV at 9.00pm to get my steps up doesn’t work. I tried.
Tomorrow is Monday – let the battle begin.
How do you stay motivated?
