I sincerely believe that the secret to any successful venture is that there is NO secret! For example, if you’ve got weight loss goals, the best way to achieve them is by taking baby steps toward a healthier lifestyle. Simple changes in your daily routine will contribute to weight loss. That in itself is a motivator. Small successes motivate us to move toward larger accomplishments. This rings true in all areas of life, and it’s especially true when it comes to our own health and fitness. A healthy eating and exercise regime really picks up momentum when you notice your energy level increase and when you no longer have to unbutton your pants at the dinner table!
If you need a little motivation booster, try this “one or two” plan and expect results: Leave “one or two” bites of food on your plate at every meal. This cuts about two hundred calories from your daily intake. And, walk “one or two” miles a day. It’s not complicated or overwhelming, but the benefits of moving will show up in many wonderful ways. Your muscle tone will improve, and your pants will fit better!
As I tear off today’s calendar page, I’m thinking about the message I’d like to convey for 2009. It’s not a diet or a workout plan. It’s a sincere hope that we all find the motivation and momentum that will carry us successfully through our attempted endeavors in the shiny New Year! May God bless each and every one of you with good health and a happy heart!
Gratefully yours,
Leslie
