Twenty Weight Loss Tips for 2014... To Infinity and Beyond!

1. Its not about a weight loss program... - its about fat loss for personal fitness, personal health and self love. Chances are if you are Googling weight loss, you're just a tad frustrated with status quo.

2. Skip the fad diets, weight loss foods, lose weight fast programs, exercise gadgets, weight loss supplements, focus on redesigning your life and finding true love within yourself. Its not a "diet plan" its a life plan.

3. It is NOT about going to the gym X number of times per week. It is about physical activity, exercise and training... what you love and what we can fit into your schedule. If you think "No time" is a reason for no exercise, no offence but you don't know what exercise is.

4. Wear a pedometer... the simplest way to boost your health... the truth serum of activity

5. Setting DEEP goals and incentives. No "I have to lose weight for the wedding". Real deep, goals that require serious, intrusive self discovery.
We don't "find ourselves" in life... we create ourselves... create, hone, create hone...

6. ALWAYS think of your kids, family... that's focus!

7. We are our children's #1 role model & mentor - for better or worse.

8. If you are feeling tortured or deprived... keep searching

9. Make sure your Gastrointestinal health is optimized... not about popping supplements! Belly fat is very complex!

10. Its not just about the scale... wear fitting clothes, use a tape measure

11. Blood work: I happen to believe the most meaningful encouraging reward of all: get a blood test now, and after 6 months of your "love your life" program - retest. Wowww!

12. Journal - self diarize... its not just about food and exercise... don't forget the Kudos column!

13. This is truly the hardest part: Analyze your eating habits, patterns, timing, triggers, food choices... not an easy process to open up with ourselves

14. Comfort foods are a must and fact of reality - Let's find ones that comfort your mood and comfort your health

15. Analyze friendships... the very best way to show love for another is by contributing to their health... are they looking to contribute to your health or a partner in crime?

16. Alcohol... empty calories that contribute nothing positive to your health or nutrition, cause the body to store fat, and cause us to drunk drive, and drunken eating binges!

17. Make it real... real, realistic you... its not about trying to be a Hollywood icon. Celebrate yourself

18. Look at your love yourself program as your fat loss, anti aging, beauty secrets, brain building opportunity. Welcome challenges as an opportunity to conquer!

19. Learn to identify and be acutely aware of physiological changes and rewards: energy, focus, mood, self pride...

20. Hire a health coach, not strictly a personal trainer. A health coach is well seasoned in addressing collectively your health risks. By taking an integrated approach to a higher health and fitness level, you will feel more empowered, and reap the rewards of stronger physiological rewards, to keep you faithful and in love. Divide & conquer your inner saboteurs, allowing your healthiest, happiest you to rise to power!

5 Simple And Easy Fitness Tips That Work Every Time

If you take the opportunity to fully utilize these strategies there is no way you will not be disappointed. However, the key is consistency. These are all techniques that will work over time.

1) Get a personal trainer. There was a time where personal trainers were reserved for the rich and famous. However, times have changed. Nowadays you can go to your local gym and get high quality personal training. The nice thing about it is that many fitness centers will include the cost of the personal training in the initial cost of your membership. This means that you don't have to spend additional money to get a high level fitness coach to instruct you along the way.

2) Set realistic goals. If you try to accomplish all of your fitness goals in a one month timeframe you're going to be severely disappointed. As crazy and far-fetched as this may sound there are many people who actually engage in this behavior. They set themselves up for failure. You have to be different. Set very achievable goals. If you want to lose 20 pounds why not set your goals for a six month timeframe. That would be a realistic goal and it's also very achievable within the allotted time frame.

3) Make sure you vary your workout routine. If your workouts are always the same eventually you will plateau. What I mean by plateau, is eventually your body will adjust to the work out and you'll cease to realize the same gains as you had earlier on. To avoid this phenomenon make sure you vary your workouts. Perhaps the first two weeks your focus in on your cardio stamina. So the majority of your workouts would be geared toward cardio. For the next two weeks you may want to focus on strength training. This forces your muscles to adjust to a new workout regiment and you will continue to make gains. Additionally, this helps you stay motivated because no two workouts are exactly the same.

4) Create a training log. During your workout you will simply record exactly what you did, what weight you used, and how many reps you performed. What does this do for you? It serves as journal or diary of your progress. When you start lacking in motivation you can look back at all the hard work you have done. Look back and you will see how far you have come right on paper. This is so motivating! There's nothing better than to see the fruits of your labor.

5) Seek positive reinforcement. This is one of the most important things you can do to help yourself. Try to find a friend who you can exercise with. If that is not realistic you can go online and find groups of people who are trying to do the same thing as you are. The nice thing about this is you are not bound by geography and peer group. Using the internet you can find people from all over the world united with one goal. Utilizing this method will help you stay on track and continue to motivate yourself.
