It's Not About the Pounds, but Being Stronger Everyday

Let's face it why are most of us motivated to start a fitness program or a diet?
1. You are overweight
2. You Doctor Says you Should because you have high cholesterol or some other medical problem
3. You are unhappy with the way you look
4. You are unhappy with the way your clothes fit
5. You are single and want someone to look at you
6. You are married and want to be attractive to your husband

These are just a few reasons you probably have some of your own.

Let's face is there is no quick fix. Real change takes time. In Joyce Meyer's book "Making Good Habits, Breaking Bad Habits" she states "habits are things we learn to do through repetition and eventually do either unconsciously or with very little effort. First we form habits and then they form us . We are what we repeatedly do. Don’t be deceived by thinking that you just can’t help what you do, because the truth is that you can do or not do anything if you really want to. At least you can do anything that is God’s will" (Meyer, Joyce (2013-04-02). Making Good Habits, Breaking Bad Habits: 14 New Behaviors That Will Energize Your Life (Kindle Locations 52-55). FaithWords. Kindle Edition.) She also says that "Good habits can be developed, and any bad habit can be broken through repetition. The experts say that a habit can be formed or broken in thirty days." (Meyer, Joyce (2013-04-02). Making Good Habits, Breaking Bad Habits: 14 New Behaviors That Will Energize Your Life . FaithWords. Kindle Edition.)


Are you interested in making a new habit? Join one of my 30 day challenge groups. I have one starting almost every month. Fill out the Challenger Form and I will get back to you about my next challenge group.

As part of a challenge group you will see that this isn't about the pounds. It isn't about how much your scale moves or how many inches you lose, while that is nice, it is about becoming stronger every day.

How do we do this? We learn ways to eat less and exercise more. We learn ways to fuel our bodies with the correct foods and eat the unhealthy foods in moderation. We support one another so that when we fall we can get right back up and continue where we were.

We will also learn that we are a lot stronger than we think we are:
You will realize you can do so much more than you ever dreamed you could do. You will realize you are stronger than you ever thought possible.

Are you ready to join me? Contact me today and will set up a time to discuss your goals and find a program that is right for you.
