Thoughts on Motivation 2.5 yr out

Jun 03, 2012

I Keep b-4 and after pictures in a album and look and update them often. I feel that the success achieved compared to where I was a better motivator then the possibility of going back to what was. Remember Positive reinforcement is better than negative self-talk.

And also If you are following your rules; you are making good habits. It takes Thirty day to instill a good habit in to auto pilot. I have noticed that even though I may indulge, It is on a much smaller scale and timed far and few behind. (use to be if I hit MC D's The order was big Mac large fry large soda, on a daily basis, vs. my new auto choice of Chicken wrap and a bottle of water once in 3 or 4 months) or when I go to a sit down restaurant and the waitress ask what to drink. Automatically Water w/ a few lemon wedges. not Coke or Pepsi! Cant stand reg milk must be fat free skim . Some thing just plant in your routine and stick. but there are times when your sweet tooth or carb monster will rear it ugly head. And i admit that I give in but with healthy limits. One serving and only when the urge is nagging you crazy.

food is one thing but Exercise has some of the same issues except it is weather you schlep it off or get out and do it. for me I need to be creative and change it up so it don't get boring. I also like to do stuff that is fun orientated rather than the grind of forced exercise. like sit ups and stuff. vs. a family hike in the park or Stationary bike vs riding in the park outside.

It is a life time of changes but eventually they will be habits or a part of your everyday life.
