Fat Loss Motivation

What would it take for you to accept the challenge of losing weight, burning fat and getting into the best shape of your life? It’s a bold question. Think back to everything that you have ever done to get into shape. Maybe you started going for walks after supper. Maybe you bought one of those products of the television from that guy with the ponytail. Maybe you even hired a professional trainer to get the weight off. Were you successful? And if you were, did you stay that way?
Most of the time I hear, no. The big question is why? Why were you unable to stay on track? It all comes down to motivation and support. Even if you had a trainer, you probably got bored after a while with the workouts. A poor trainer doesn’t know how to keep things different. He only knows a certain number of workouts, and not only will you get bored, but so will your body. When that happens, your body will stop changing. This is what happens if you continue to walk the same distance after supper as well. If you want to stay motivated then you have to change things up.
You can change the things you do by hiring the right trainer for one. This is the best advice I could give. The right trainer will make all the difference because he or she will continually challenge you and your body by always adjusting your training protocol. But you need to do your part as well. The best way to do that is to make goals for yourself.
By making goals you will always have something to strive for. I reccomend using nine weeks as the perfect time frame for you to set your goals. Every nine weeks you should sit down and write out three to five goals for you to meet. These goals need to be VERY specific, and should include your nine week time frame.
Let’s say that you want to make not missing any workouts your goal. If you say within nine weeks I will make more workouts, then you are starting off with a very poor goal. Instead say something like, “Within nine weeks I will have worked out at least 30 times.” This is a goal that can be measured, so it makes it harder to escape. If you have a hard time with your diet, then you could make a goal like, “Within nine weeks, I will have cheated on my diet no more than nine times.” This is a good goal because it allows you to mess up a little, but still do very well. You want to make sure that all of the goals that you make, you can achieve. That’s why I didn’t say, “within nine weeks I will not cheat on my diet even once.” If you make a goal like that and slip up even once, you will feel defeated and 9 times out of 10 give up. The whole point of making goals is to stay motivated.
You should also write your goals down. Emmit Smith, a future NFL hall of fame running back, once said that, “A goal is not a goal until you write it down.” This is so true. Writing down your goals make them tangible. Until you write them down, they are only an idea. Try writing down your goals, and watch your results come to life!
