Today I’ll only eat fruit grapefruit.
Tomorrow I’ll eat whatever I feel like eating, but I’ll also do 20 crunches and take a 20 minute walk.
Day after tomorrow? Diet and exercise will depend on convenience.
The important thing is to start doing something, right? Once I start making an effort everything will fall into place. I wasn’t dieting and exercising before so anything I do is going to make a difference. At least it will be better than doing nothing. Cardio. I forgot to add cardio. All the experts say cardio is good. I can dust off that DVD….
Does this sound like you?
Do you believe that if I follow my chosen course of action for 6 weeks I’ll see results?
Think I’ll be pounds lighter, more toned, and ready for the beach?
Probably not.
Doing something just because something needs to be done is not as effective as paying attention to what you’re doing, setting goals for change, and then planning to reach those goals.
