Just Do IT. Then Do IT Again !

Lord God You are everything to me.  I am so grateful for Your love.  Lord protect my home, my family and friends.  Build us up, give us strength as we do your bidding. We want to be persistent in all the good that we do.  Lord we need  You.  

FOCUS, MOTIVATION and ACTION – Lifestyle Change

This week I have written about what gets  us going, what inspires us to change.  Changing the way we think is about 80% of the battle.  When we begin to think positively, knowing that we can do what we set out to do, we begin to put things in place to make change. 

                                                                          

One of this week’s blog focused on Motivation.  I uploaded a motivational quote “Motivation is What gets you started -  Habit is what Keeps you going”.  I am a Pinterest lover and I pinned it to my page.  I got an overwhelming response of 40 repins.  Great Right !  Normally quotes I pin receive 1 or 2 repins 4 the max.  Allowing what makes motivates you to turn into habit can be a good thing.  Habits means turning something into a lifestyle change.  When something becomes a habit we do it routinely.  I have practiced the habit of eating the same breakfast for nearly 6 months.  I have strayed away here or there but it is my habit.  Before breaking my foot, I practiced the habit of working out 3 times per week. 

Habits that make for a success weight loss: 

1. meal plan-put together healthy meal menus
2. chart what you eat
3. chart your weight, preferably in the a.m.
4. workout regiment – 3 to 4 times per week
5. drink 8 glasses of water per week
6. always eat breakfast with a good protein; egg
7. pray daily asking God for strength

• I know there are others but this is some things that should be in amongst our basic habits.

FINALLY TAKING ACTION - 

     Let’s say you have focused in and got your mind wrapped around the need to live healthier.  And you have found your motivation.  It is now time to ACT.  Depending on your needs you need to get up and JUST DO IT. Whether it is workout videos at home, power walking, boot camp, treadmill, you choose what works for you and your medical and physical needs. 

    Get up and do it.  You are definitely worth it, your family is worth it, that outfit you want to get into is …………………………..   You get the picture !
