Had a very busy weekend and plan to do a full video next Monday to celebrate the end of week 4 which is a crucial point in the journey. Having gone through the Body For Life Challenge 4 years ago, it consisted of a 4 week sprint, followed by 8 weeks of muscle building workouts. So every time I start focusing in on anything, I have taken a similar approach and given it all I had for the first 4 weeks before I come up for air.

Weight Loss Secret Revealed
Last week I promised to share a secret to winning this game. Now some may see the real forces that drive this and others may just look at it and say, “Huh?”. Either way, here it is. One thing I do that keeps me motivated is that I set a goal to reach a certain size by a certain date. Not only do I set this goal, I take action on it. I go out and buy a pair of pants the size I plan to be able to wear and use that new pair of pants as my motivator. During the last two weekends, I have tested out these pants to see how well they fit. When I started, I couldn’t get them all the way up to be able to zip them. Last week I was able to squeeze into them.
With losing the inches I have been losing, I don’t think it will be a challenge to fit into these pants come Sunday. Right now, the pants I am wearing are getting really baggy and I have to keep pulling them up. Not fun at all. So I look forward to being able to move into the new pair.
What Motivates You?
In order to have long lasting reduction, you need something that will motivate you. What can you do in your life to keep you on track? Next week, I will share more ideas on ways to stay focused and on track.
Until Next Time…
