Keeping lost weight off your body is a constant challenge. We are immersed in society that covets real time advertising via all sorts of media outlets. Try going 1 hour and not hearing or seeing something for sale or perhaps "free". We are bombarded by temptation and just try it thought processes. This critically affects the way we think and plan our fuel (food) intake. Our choices ultimately will result in
The training period is like reprogramming our brain and taste buds. It takes an incredible effort to do this which is why it doesn't always succeed and arguably will fail more often than it proves success. But don't give up. Life style change is the key. Over the long term it is imperative that we incorporate a balance in our daily diet, exercise program and emotional stress. Stress is a leading cause of eating disorders. As such, it is a natural trigger to bring short term happiness to individuals suffering a setback in their lives. Stress must be considered and managed as well. Exercise built around an active fitness program with variation (long term remember) complimented with natural supplements such as acai berry juice drinks such as Mona Vie(TM) are all excellent choices. During the training phase you will undergo natural challenges from past bad habits. You will need to stay focused and concentrate on your goals and thus long term objectives of good solid healthy eating habits. The fitness plan will greatly enhance your overall potential for success as it not only provides the fat burning engine via your exercise it also acts as a natural endorphin promoting a healthy positive attitude and increased energy. Your metabolism will improve with the addition of exercise and the new balance of the fitness program combined with healthy eating habits will counter your thoughts of falling back on past bad habits.
Long term we must stay focused. We will need to insert changes to our plan so it doesn't become boring and thus less fun more work so to speak. Keep up on your research into new ideas for exercise and work them into your daily, weekly plan. This will keep it fresh. We love to learn new things and provide challenges. Even if your current fitness plan is showing great improvement it still needs to be updated and altered over time. Plan on something new each month. It can be as easy as reversing the direction of your walking route daily. We do this all the time. In fact, we have designed mid and long walks with variations on direction just so we see things visually uniquely ever 3 days. Great way to keep it all fresh. Work different parts of your body on unique days as well. Do your upper body one day and your stomach area the next followed by your lower body. The variations are the key and if you think about it and plan accordingly you can keep your fitness plan very fresh over the long term. Make it competitive if you can and measure your course speed over time. This in itself will also provide a way to stay in focus with your goals and objectives.
