Getting back on track
quickly and efficiently is super important.
Important because you DO
NOT want a missed Monday to turn into a missed week... a missed month.
And not only to get back on
track, but then stay on track.
One thing you CAN do to
help yourself maintain focus and not get led into making bad food choices is
this...
Create an environment where
it's harder or nearly impossible to make bad choices.
You want to make it easy to
eat right and train.
I fell onto this years ago
when I'd do a nutrition coaching session.
My new client and I would
go over the 100 BEST Foods You Can Eat list, and over their individualized
grocery list.
I would tell them "The
key to this is to go to the store and buy everything you need for the upcoming
week, and nothing else."
"Because if you go to
the store and make great choices and also buy things NOT on the list you're
going to eat those too."
"So don't buy
it!"
That's the beauty of the
"Don't Buy it" Diet.
It's super-simple.
If you buy it you'll eat
it, and if you don't it makes it harder to get to.
This helps you break the
habit of going for those bad food choices, when you have more control over your
environment.
So the bottom line is if
you've got junk food in the house you're going to eat it.
So, if you don't want to
eat it, you've got to get it out of your house.
Otherwise accept the fact
you're going to eat it eventually.
That's how even the best
diets go bad.
Bad choices, that were too
easy to make.
So help yourself stay on
track this week. Go home and clean out the pantry and refrigerator of any junk
food you know isn't moving you to your goals.
(This will be harder when
you live with other people but it is possible to section off an area just for
you.)
This requires some will
power initially but it makes your day a lot easier down the road.
And then only buy healthy
foods that are going to help you toward your goals.
You can do the same thing
with the people you're around.
The more like-minded people
you surround yourself with, the better you'll do with staying on track.
And you'll also quickly
realize no one is perfect and we all struggle with staying on track with our
healthy habits one way or another.
When you work with a
healthy fitness minded group of people, you'll also have people that can help
you get when you want to move faster.
They've made the same
mistakes you've made (and a lot more). And they can also help you recover from
those mistakes more quickly.
When you realize were all
the same, we struggle, we fail, we get back up and give it our best shot again
and again and again.
Your environment really can
make or break you.
Set it up right today and
you can insure your success.
