Reboot Your Attitude, Goals And Your Focus- Part I

How did you feel in your heart and mind the first time you decided, ENOUGH is ENOUGH and you were going to do this, THIS TIME? Do you remember? Do you remember how you suddenly felt so driven and you told yourself and your friends/family that , THIS time you were going to lose the weight and get healthy? This time you were serious? Did you feel alive? Did you feel super happy and excited? Did you go out and grocery shop for healthy foods? Did you feel like nothing was going to get in your way this time?

You probably either felt that way about one of the things listed above, if not all, right? Did you make this resolution and then go out and have one last go of eating whatever you wanted?

Let's fast forward to today, right now, this very moment. How do you feel now? Are you still that fired up? You know what I'm talking about.  It's almost like when you are in a brand new relationship, you are happy, focused, you feel your best and on top of the world!!!!!!...Still there?  For most, your answer might be no. For some it will be a resounding HELL YEA I'M STILL THERE!   Maybe for some, you may have even resolved that you just can't do it. Something always gets in the way and you fell off the fit wagon right?

Perhaps you have even been in this very same spot a few times. You start out strong with weight loss goals and hopes and two/three weeks in you fall off the fit wagon-AGAIN. You might even be completely frustrated because you know that by now you should be further along in your weight loss goals.

 Sound familiar? Any of it? Have you ever thought that maybe YOUR way isn't working -The way you have resolved to lose weight and get healthy? Have you REALLY put the time in it takes? Have you? Have you been open to new ideas and ways throughout your weight loss journey in the change up factor?  Maybe your approach isn't working, your thought process or the belief in yourself or lack thereof? There are many factors that play into falling off the fit wagon and I know the frustration -- it's even happen to me, hence my picture above far right at 210 pounds.
If you have said yes to one of not a few or all of the above (except for those HELL YEA folks) then keep reading, please. Please keep reading.

What TRULY is your goal here? Is it really to lose weight? Is it? If you said yes, then let me ask, WHERE IS YOUR AMBITION and MOTIVATION? Where did it go? I know that this all can be frustrating. Some people are born with genetics and they don't have to try as hard. They don't have to lift weights and they are toned like they've live in the gym.  Those people irritate me! HA HA HA - well they irritate me a little.  But,   I am NOT one of those people, so I get it. So what I would like to attempt to do with you is, do a REBOOT with you.  Let's rset your goals and try a different approach, a different way of looking at things and evaluating your progess and hopefully PUMP -- YOU -- UP ( Arnold voice inserted here).   I'm going to try and help, but YOU have to want it in order for this to work. You have to commit to what you have started.  Okay? 

Now the transition to a stealth type mindset is going to take DAILY practice to keep you in the zone. And I say daily because falling off the fit wagon can happen to you several times, which really just causes you more frustration and yo yo weight gain.  We want to get past that.  So whenever setting goals, you have to have a game plan right?  Did you write one out when you started with an execution plan?  A football team that wants to win a championship doesn't just practice one time and hope for the best. No they practice constantly, they motivate one another and pump each other up before the BIG GAME. So this is me trying to PUMP you up so you can step out and GET THIS, this time. This transition is a mindset and it is going to command a sharp focus a change in your attitude, preparation and execution. The only thing existing between you and the best version of you is yourself and the time it takes to get there. In order to close the gap, you must become a JEDI. A new game plan is in order cuz' the old one isn't working....Are you GAME? Are you IN? Are you ready?

COME BACK, stay tuned to PART II of this article. I will talk about new ways of reaching your goals. But in the meantime, love yourself, don't be so hard on yourself.  Losing weight can be a struggle - it's ALL in the mind.  So let's get you THERE.

I'll be back with the rest of the SECOND part of this article next week..SO COME BACK!
