My #questionoftheday is do you shy away from diet & exercise because it's hard?

No one said diet & exercise would be easy! Do you think that you are going to lose what you have built up over months & years without work? No one said diet & exercise would be easy! Do you think that you are going to lose what you have built up over months & years without work? Is it going to be hard to do your diet & workout? Yes, no doubt it will be. But it also isn't going to be as hard as you think it will be. You will get out of your diet & exercise exactly what you put into it. You will get out of it exactly what you make up your mind about it. If you tell yourself you hate to diet & exercise, you have already defeated yourself & psyched yourself out. You are destined to fail. If you tell yourself diet & exercise is going to be hard but you have to do what you have to do then you have a realistic outlook. A realistic outlook and attitude towards diet & exercise will serve you well when the inevitable plateaus occur. Dieting & exercising is going to be hard but you have the ability to make it easier by making up your mind that it will be so. Your body will fight to hold onto the mean weight and fat stores it has. You will have to work hard to establish a new mean weight. Dieting is more a mental thing than it is hard so making up your mind to change your past diet behaviors is key to succeeding. As for workouts, the word itself should give you a clue - you have to WORK to get the body you want! Work it out! ;) While it may be hard to start, once u have done it for at least 2 weeks you will notice it getting easier as yourbody & mind get used to it. That initial adjustment period is the hardest hurdle to overcome. The next big hurdle will be when you plateau. It will get easier if you honestly give it the effort. You will find that after a while you will find yourself wanting to challenge yourself. As you see results, u will push your workouts harder, etc. Then it is an issue of not overtraining & doing too much but that's another topic. So stop the excuses and get yourself moving today towards the body you wish to have. It's going to be tough but you're tougher! Go for it!
