How to know it's time to lose weight -

Many of us don't really know, we just get caught up in the hype of the New Year resolution thing and we start working out with Insanity and P90X and because it's so hard, you stop. Well, here is why you should continue on your journey.

Here is how you know it's time to lose weight.

1.  You are not in the best health. If you are taking more than one medicine for one illness you are in need of a lifestyle change. If you have several illness going on that are related to your lifestyle, you need to change TODAY. The body was not designed to take all those pills. If you have diabetes, that's simple... change the way you eat and exercise.

2.  You keep starting and stop mid-stream. This is because you jumped in it with the go hard of don't go at all mentality. This will cause anyone to quit any program. Just imagine if you were in school taking two courses, working out of the home, taking care of your children and your HUSBAND or WIFE. At some point, something will go lacking and it's usually YOU. So, why not decrease some of the things you've committed to and make time for you and stay committed to YOU. Start out slow and add on to your regime as time progress.

3.  You can't do what you use to... now I'm sure we all can testify to this one. If you could walk up the stairs without giving out of breath, you need to lose weight. If you could run one block without giving out of breath, you need to lose weight. If you could raise your legs and now you can't, you need to lose weight. If you could look down and see your knees and now you can't, you need to lose weight. Let's do this.. get a pencil and paper, write down those things that you could do 5 years ago that you no longer can do.. let this be a motivation for you to lose weight and start back to living.

4.  Your envious of others - Well this is easy. MAKE YOURSELF A PRIORITY. Those that you may be envious of have worked hard to obtain what you see. It all came with a sacrifice.. what are you willing to give up... don't hate the player, get involve with the game....

5.  You give up easily - Well this is why we're back on the sofa. Don't give up when you don't see the results you're looking for. If it doesn't cost you anything, then it's not worth having. Having a healthy heart is worth the work and you deserve it.

Weeping may endure for a night but JOY comes in the morning. Now you determine when MORNING COMES.

I think if you can do it... let's show the world you can too.

Much Love,
Lisa

  2. Okay I am able to make a comment now, but it was not easy to discover. Maybe a note beside the title to tell us to click to comment may work.
