NEVER throw in the towel!!!

There comes weeks and days that a ton of distractions come to take our attention from our goals, priorities, and commitments.

One key in not failing at reaching those goals, fulfilling commitments, and providing for your priorities is to:

NEVER throw in the towel!!!

I am a person who loves lists, sets goals, and post them where they are VERY visible. I revisit these anytime I am requested for some other project. And it's up to me to say "no" when it doesn't fit into the schedule and takes from my priorities.

Now, there are weeks or days that come and there are unplanned circumstances that totally are out of control and interfere with the plan. And here is where we have to improvise for the moment...but as soon as you have the solution to the problem....get back to the center of your focus and go and....



NEVER throw in the towel!!!

Temptation to give up comes often when you are in the middle of a workout program, you're on a mission to lose weight, doesn't it?

You go to a birthday party, didn't plan ahead for your meal & they're serving up chili dogs and nachos. THESE ARE NO-FLY ZONE FOODS when you're trying lose weight btw. But you're starving and can't say no. Personally, this is where if I had to eat, I'd have a hot dog, hold the 300+ calories/serving chili beans and the artery clogging nacho cheese. So in that circumstance you can - get something in your belly...but whatever you do:

NEVER throw in the towel!!!

Many will have the chili dog...and when they get home..."since they've blown it"...they'll eat whatever they want like ice cream or something else on the NO FLY ZONE...and they convince themselves that they'll 're-start on Monday'....which is 4 days away. Now this person has the potential to gain 3-5 lbs. by throwing in the towel on their meal plan.

To avoid the temptation to throw in the towel: eat the least amount of food you can in a situation where you're starving and you have no options for healthier food....and when you get home, eat a healthy, satisfying meal...and start with your workout first thing the next day.

Same with when you miss a workout....if you miss one or two because of being sick, overwhelmed with crisis...as soon as you have a chance - WORK OUT!

Even if it's only a 20 minute run, a 30 minute dvd workout. Do what you can - as soon as  you can!!!!! Whatever you do:



NEVER throw in the towel!!!
