I’m talking about your fitness levels but I guess you could use this question to analyze anything in your life.

 

Are you doing the things that will lead you to a healthier body, better fitness levels and lifelong habits?  Or are you sitting around, feeling tired, not taking charge and ignoring the obvious?

 

I hope you gave a “yes” to the first part of that statement.

 

Do you set goals in your life?  Do you hold yourself accountable?  Are you focusing on getting in shape, building or rebuilding your self confidence and leading a fulfilled life?

 

Or are you sitting around sulking, blaming everyone and complaining, “This is so hard” … blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

 

I can’t run a program called Results Only and let you get away with that.  It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about health/fitness, your job, a relationship, your skills…

 

You’re either getting better or worse.

 

If you don’t make fitness a part of your weekly routine by doing a little something each day or if you slack off on eating right more than two meals in a row….

 

You are getting worse.

 

Why would you enjoy making it harder on yourself?   Why not make it easy?

 

Sure, that first day you go out the front door for a 2 mile walk might be challenging and you could be huffing and puffing by the end.  But you will feel better.  And yes, it will make a difference if you tell the waiter to please not bring the bread bowl to the dinner table as a deterrent from eating something you don’t want or need in your diet.

 

You already know the little things you can do each and every day to make life EASIER on your self.  You just need to make a conscious effort to do so.  It just makes too much sense.

 

Here are some ways to make small bouts of exercise and losing weight easier for you:

1. Make small goals and focus on achieving those first.
2. Park as far away from the front door of the store as possible.
3. Come up with a fitness program, no matter how small.  (Hint, hint – I have a bunch of them!)
4. Watch your fat and sugar intake
5. For most of us, add to your intake of fresh fruits and DOUBLE your vegetables.
6. Be consistent with your exercise program.
7. Believe that you can do this (or anything else you want to do, for that matter).
8. For most of us, TRIPLE your water intake.
9. Tell someone you are making some life altering changes.  They will ask you about them which will keep you on task.
10. Have fun with life no matter what you’re doing.  We only go around once!

If you do these, and by no means is this list complete, (I am sure you have a ton more ideas too) you will become successful, guaranteed.

 

Here is a little “Bobby Tough Love”.  If you are overweight, out of shape, have troubles moving around, etc……….

 

Whatever you are doing is NOT WORKING!

 

So change it!!!

 

As Nike says…. Just do it!

 

What does this have to do with you feeling and getting better or worse?

 

Just about everything.

 

Because if you are un-motivated, overweight, lazy, without goals or a routine …  there is no way you are getting any better …..

 

You only make it harder and harder on yourself each and every day to feel physically, mentally and emotionally fulfilled.

 

Everyday that you procrastinate on doing the necessary steps to getting and feeling better about yourself, you make it that much harder to get in shape and build a body right now you can only dream about.

 

So why not make it easier for yourself, and start today?

 

So get outside, go for a walk.  Take the stairs instead of the elevator.  Get rid of the junk food in your cupboards.  Call a friend and meet them at the park for a stroll.  Doesn’t matter to me just…

 

Make sure you feel better!
