March has arrived with weather that is a great reminder that Spring and Summer are around the corner!
We have a beautiful 5 weeks of weight loss right in front of us. Do not waste it. Do not look back and say why didn’t I do it. Think about it — 2 lbs a week is so doable and that would be a fabulous 10 lb weight loss in one month! Yes sometimes it requires getting out of our own way. For example: Stop the alcohol on non-cheat days; Make sure your cheat day is 1 day and not 1 1/2 or 2; — It’s so easy to sit and cry and think nothing works for me, but i’m telling you that is absolutely not true. The program will work for you — but only if you put the work in. You have to put the time in and you have to be consistent. You have to be mentally prepared to give it 110% and stick to your 6 days of weight loss with 1 cheat day. When you do that I promise you that you will see the same weight loss as everyone else that is on program.
If you have not been doing the right thing and are walking around miserable or are miserable inside your head — you know that you are the only person who can change it. I can give you all the tools and I can show you thousands of clients who have done it and continue to do it and look and feel amazing. And I can tell you 100% that you are no different than any of them. If you want it you can have it. But first you have to stop playing mind games with yourself, stop making deals with yourself, and no more excuses. If you really want the 10 lbs in March then start working had for it everyday. Follow your program and don’t let anything or anyone get in your way – including yourself.
Clients already have had a successful 2020 and it’s only March. Clients from all over Chicago, California, Arizona, Alabama, Boston, Florida, Georgia, and right here in New York — amazing amazing results. Why? It’s not because they all just jumped on program and did the right thing — although many have done just that. But majority have been on and they struggled their way through it. They have hiccups but they hold their breath and get past them. Sometimes it’s a day and sometimes it’s a week but they get past them. The reason I am telling you this is so you realize you are not the only one who struggles. Weight loss is hard. But if you want to see the weight loss you have to be willing to put the work in every day. You have to be consistent and always continue to move forward. You have to push yourself when you don’t want to be pushed and you have to be okay with walking away from temptation that will always be there. But most important is you have to really decide what it is you want and how important it is to you to get there. It’s not easy to eat less than your body needs…. it’s not easy to deal with the hunger that you feel when you are eating less… and it’s not easy to walk away from temptation when you are hungry. But it’s even harder to step on the scale and feel uncomfortable in your own skin.
This month be willing to embrace the challenge. Get through the little hunger, the temptation and the hiccups. Pass on the drink and be okay with it. When you are out to dinner order on program. Walk away from the temptation and be excited about it! Promise yourself that no matter what or who is on your path you will continue to do the right thing. Because when you do that is when April 1st will come and you will be 10 lbs lighter than you are today and you will be so so happy that you are back in control, and back on your happy path where you always feel amazing.
THINK ABOUT IT: In 5 very quick weeks you are either going to be super happy that you put the work in and feel amazing and on your way to being the best you for Spring and Summer OR you will look back and think “I should have… I could have… I wish I did it… ugh why didn’t I do it.” ~choose your hard.
