Pre-Planning

This may sound like common sense, but with our busy lifestyles, pre-planning meals in advance is far from simple. However, pre-planning is essential.

For most of us all we can do to just keep up with day’s activities, much less cook in advance. It really boils down to time management. If you have good choices in refrigerator, you will be more likely to eat that food. When healthy foods are unavailable, you will go out of your way to pantry, pizza parlor, or fast food restaurant for immediate gratification.

In a nut shell:

In some instances what we eat, when we eat it and how much we eat is due to a physiological reaction. However, it could be both emotional and physiological.

Diabetes is at an all-time high in adults and in teenagers. Often, when you wait too long in-between meals, blood sugar levels drop. This is when you may crave foods you normally don’t eat.

One very easy practice to take is to try to control your blood sugar levels daily by watching types, amounts, and times that you eat. Eating right has a lot to do with how you look at food, how much you eat and what you eat. Recognize if you have eating patterns. The patterns may be lifestyle, emotional, physically related or all above. Pre-planning meals and shopping ahead solves a lot of poor decision making. Learn to push yourself away from table. YOU WILL EAT TOMORROW!

From suggestion box:

If you have excessive eating habits, they may be emotionally related. Figure out your bad habits and counteract them.

BEING SOLD OUT IS AN ATTITUDE OF THE HEART!

PERSEVERANCE

Having a sold out attitude helps you persevere through some of down times. There were a lot of times I just wanted to quit. I questioned why I even started this whole exercise regime. It was circular at times. The more I did, more I struggled. And round and round I went.

But I always remembered that I had made a decision to stay in it for long haul. My workouts did not have to be perfect all time, as long as I kept moving forward. I just had to persevere, no matter what! So I did. SELF- MOTIVATION

A small part of all of us needs to be self- motivated. You cannot do it alone. You will always need a good support system; however, somewhere inside a little self- motivation needs to be smoldering to keep fire going. The only thing that will get you through hard times is to have some “faith.”

SELF – DISCIPLINED

Having self-discipline is different than being self-motivated. You can be motivated, but not disciplined. However, you cannot be disciplined without being motivated.

No one will or can exercise for you. Nor can they tell you what to eat for rest of your life. Being self-disciplined requires you to consistently keep main goal in mind. And what is that? Having a sold out attitude!
