Exercise is the place to start!

For those of you who really struggle w/ food. Let's take our sights off the food, the calories for a bit...instead of obsessing and freaking out over the food you 'can't' eat...Let's look at what you can do that will still have a positive effect on your weight loss efforts!!!

EXERCISE!!! EXERCISE!!! EXERCISE!!!

Today, I want you stop focusing and beating yourself up over what you eat. (I'll do that for you...j/k). No really, let's put all the focus on exercise. For some of you, food really does have you in bondage and so the task of 'staring a diet plan' is daunting...And so the stress over it, makes you want to eat more - totally counter-productive.

So let's set a new goal today! Today is August 1, 2011.
It's Monday morning. No more procrastination.

Today, I want you to begin some kind of exercise. If you have not worked out for over 6 mos. or longer, I want you start walking every evening, for 15-20 min. The strategy here is to build time into your schedule for working out. Now, when you are up to a solid 5 days of 20 min. each day, I want you to bump up the time to 30 min. Then 45 min.

Once 45 min. is easier, I will then ask you to jog for a couple of minutes, then walk 5...jog for a couple min. and then walk for 5, up to 30-45 min.

Then...(you know where I'm going right)...you'll jog for 5, walk for 5, jog for 5, walk for 5, building up to 45 min. at a time.

Then the day will come and you will be jogging for about 5-7 min. and walk for 2-3 min. and so on.

The key is to always be changing it up. Putting your body in an environment to change. This will build up your cardiovascular limits, and eventually, you will be able to jog for 30-45 min.

Now if I was to say, go jog for 1/2 hour NOW...you would fall over out of breath. So that's NOT what I'm asking you to do. (Disclaimer: always check w/ your physician before starting a new exercise program.)

The goal is to commit to NO LESS than 4 days a week of walking for no less than 15 min. each time...preferably 20-30 min.

Who of you who is reading this will make this commitment TODAY????? Message me today and let's set out on your weight loss journey NOW!
