“The ultimate key to fat loss and fitness success is your ability to motivate yourself and change your habitual behaviors.”
-Craig Ballantyne
One thing I try to really convey and enforce to new clients is that what we’re really looking to do is make some changes to their habits.
Because if you’re 20-30 or 50 pounds overweight this is an outcome of your habits.
And if you want to lose the weight, get your fitness back, lean out, get stronger, and eat in a way that makes you feel better and not worse…You’re going to have to get some new habits.
The good news is that you can’t undo the habits you’ve spent years building in a single day.
But you CAN start.
And what is important today, as it is everyday.
One or two new habits put into play can make a huge difference between moving forward to your weight loss and fitness goals or staying in the same place.
Think of it this way….
It IS May. 5 months into the new year.
Have you made The changes to your diet, to your activity, to your daily habits that you envisioned at the beginning of the New Year?
If not, it’s not too late.
You can and should take action today.
Action that will move you towards your goals not away.
Better not worse.
You make the decision and it all begins with one or two little habits.
Repeated daily.
