Get Where You're Going by Knowing Where You Are
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people say, “I have no idea how I gained 40 pounds!” If they spent even one day truly looking at the food they are eating and the lack of exercise they’re infusing in their lives, they would see immediately how those 40 extra pounds managed to catch up with them. More than likely, you know where you want to go. Maybe you want to lose those extra 40 pounds you’ve packed on over the past year. Maybe you want to return your body to the pre-baby weight. Maybe you simply want to tone-up your muscles.
Create a journal
In order to get where you’re going, the first thing you need to do is figure out where you are. The best way to do this is to start keeping an HONEST journal of the food you’re eating and the exercises you’re performing. Do this for a couple weeks and then sit down and take a hard and honest look at what you’re doing that may be causing the weight gain or prohibiting you from reaching your fit body goal. Once you realize you’re eating junk food twice a day everyday then you can start to make the necessary adjustments to substitute your bad eating habits for good ones.
Make a plan
The second part of your journal should be what you plan to do to reach your goal. Writing out your goal, the plan you have for reaching your goal and the specific steps you’re going to take to your reach your goal truly helps you to achieve it. There is something very powerful about the written word that propels you from simply thinking about something into actually doing it!
If you take the time to keep track of your eating and exercising, you’ll quickly gain the knowledge you need to figure out where you are now. Once you know where you are, it’s easy to figure out how to get where you want to be.
