If you had to rank your lifestyle as “fit” or “fat,” which would it be? Don’t let your weight influence your decision; think about your activity level and both the good and bad habits you have. Do you circle around the parking lot waiting for a good spot, or do you park farther away from the store entrance for a little daily exercise? Do you snack on celery and carrot sticks, or are you more likely to grab something from the vending machine? When you think about it, it’s not just the big choices you make that influence what kind of a lifestyle you lead; it’s really in all the little choices you make every day.
If you’re truly looking to shape up and ship out bad habits, it’s really important to take a moment to dissect your everyday doings to figure out why your lifestyle may be more “fat” than “fit.” Start with one or two changes, such as switching from pepperoni to fresh veggies on your pizza and putting your sneakers in your car for a mid-afternoon power walk or maybe a nice jog/run. Make more changes little by little and you’ll soon be leading a fit lifestyle you can be proud of.
Once you figure out that it is truly a life style choice, and not just a few months that you torture yourself by dieting and exercising to loose some weight. If you make a life style choice of choosing to be fit, then you don't have to go back to the dread of going on a strict diet and exercise regime to loose those 10-20 pounds that seem to just creep back up faster each time you loose them.
Being a part time fit person is not the way to go, and it doesn't make much sense at all. It is truly a waste of time and you either need to decide to be all in, or all out, but the choice is all yours! By choosing to be on the fit side of life and living it everyday, being consistent and committing your body and mind to the daily process you will be able to have those days to enjoy eating your favorite food without feeling guilty if you cheat, or decide to take a day off from working out.
It goes back to my post on your "Body Bank Account" If you are consistent about working out and eating healthy, making those type of fit choices to deposit to you body bank account you will be able to have more fun, feel good, look good and not just for a few months out of a year or two when you decide enough and diet. Choose to feel good, look good and enjoy all the time, all year long!
