Life Style Changes and Behavior Modifications

Ok I know it has been a while since my last post, but I have been waiting for a really good topic.
The topic here is Life Style Changes and Behavior Modifications.
First off, I want to make a couple of statements before I begin.

1. You should only weigh once a week!

2. The things that you did to get the results that you have had, you must continue to do them plus more.

3. Ask yourself this each day "Am I doing better than I did when I got started or better than I did last week?" The answer should be "Better than Last week and much better than when I started".

4. Keep trying harder each week to make a Change in you Life Style and Behavior.

5. A quote from Water Boy "You Can Do It!"

Now for the good stuff! Why should you weigh once a week? Simple, your weight fluctuates daily and hourly. This is why I have my clients weight weekly on the same day every week. The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning after a trip to the restroom. This will give you your "Dry Weight" and do it on the same day of the week. With that said, save yourself some frustration and DO NOT WEIGH DAILY!

Now you wonder why you should ask yourself if I'm always doing better? Well, as you exercise and make healthy food changes, you will see results. But, the thing is, you must continue to do those for the rest of your life to some extent. If you stop, you will just go back to where you were. Even worse you can Plateau! You must keep those changes as a Life Style. Now the thing you don't want to hear. You must continually add more activity and dietary changes to keep seeing results until you get to where you want to be. When you reach that point you can maintain, sometimes even by reducing the activity slightly.

One final point! Make small attainable goals every day, week, and month. If it be cutting back on soda or walking an extra 5 minutes each bout. Always strive to do a little more, a little better, and you will continue to see the results either on the scale or the way your clothes fit.

Well thats it for now. Good Luck to everyone! If I can be of assistance, please don't hesitate to ask! I'm also open to any comments and suggestions. View my blog at http://mobiletrainer.blogspot.com . God Bless!

YOU CAN DO IT!!! :)
