If It's To Be, It's Up To Me

Deciding to make a change in an area of your life that you are unhappy with, takes courage, determination and action.

It can also take time to make the necessary actions a regular part of your life.

Focus on one thing at a time, and have a plan.

Example 1 - fitting 20 - 30 minutes of cardio exercise into 3 days a week (not including your training days) may look something like this:

Training Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday
Rest Sunday
Walk, jog, swim, ride, dance to the point it's difficult to carry on a conversation, for 30 minutes (or 3 x 10 minutes) on Monday, Wednesday & Friday.

10 minutes in the morning, a walk at lunchtime and 10 minutes in the evening will get this done.

You do have time, we all have the same 24 hours in our day and we all make choices about how we use our time. Using our bodies affects our minds too, what better way to de-stress from an exhausting day, than to really feel how strong your body is.

Example 2 - Eating healthy food with mindfulness & pleasure:
Use your Health Diary, (if you're not currently doing this you'll likely notice you're results are stalled along with your weight loss)

Plan your weekly meals, including a shopping list (if it's not on the list, it's not in the trolley - no exceptions) and cook batches of your favourite meals to freeze for convenience in the week.

If you only have fresh, healthy food in your cupboard, and no processed or junk food, guess what you'll be eating?

No one else can do it for you and if you're waiting for the world to make it easier for you, it's not going to happen.
You get one life, make it great!

If it's to be, it's up to me to do what I need to do to have what I want to have in this life.

And it's up to you too.
Get it done. You can do it!
