It’s almost guaranteed that a big transformation will take you longer than you expect it to.

What you really need to know is that fat loss and fat gain are both dependent on energy balance. You don’t have 50+ lbs of a positive energy balance to cause fat gain in a few short days, so stop expecting to lose it that fast.

The entire process, gain or loss, is scientifically pretty slow. But it is worth it.

“So you know, I’m putting together a brand-new program starting Feb 21. This is specifically for moms/ women who want to lose 10 lbs in 60 days without having to hit the gym. It’s a remote program, so you can join from anywhere in the world.

I’m looking for 5 to test it out at a HUGE DISCOUNT, help me work out the kinks, and get amazing results that I can use as a case study. If that’s you, comment ‘tell me more’ below and I’ll message you with the details.”

I know some of you might want to lose weight and that’s okay.
But let’s get real for a minute - why do you really want to lose weight? No one puts “lose weight” on their resolution list every January just for the heck of it.
Let’s find the real reason this goal is important to you with the “5 Why Game.” For example...
Q: What is your goal?
A: To lose weight.
Q: But why?
A: Maybe it’s because you don’t have a roadmap that helps you create a plan of action
Q: Ok, but why is that important?
Then ask why again. And again. And AGAIN. Usually when you have answered “why” for the fifth time, you’ll get to the real reason why you’re here. And that’s the answer we really need to know because it’s the root of the mission. You can use the “5 Why Game” for any decision and choice you make.
No one's going to put in the work that’s required to lose weight and keep it off just for the sake of losing weight. They're going to do it because they miss going out with friends and family; they hate that they feel uncomfortable when they see their friends or family they haven’t seen in awhile; they hate feeling embarrassed when they can’t do things with family of friends at the beach or pool, cause they don’t look the same in the bathing suit.
Keep your why at the forefront of your mind when you’re pursuing weight loss. It’ll be the driving force that keeps you going when you get frustrated, tired, and ticked off at the process. And then every time the apathy monster rears its ugly head, remind yourself WHY you’re doing it in the first place.
Why is weight loss and fat loss worth it to you?

Physical Activity is not a Punishment

We need to stop negotiating for junk food aka. sweets, soft drinks, desserts, cookies, frappes, beer, etc. with exercise.
You don't have to do anything to eat and drink whatever you want.
Never punish yourself with physical activity after eating something, whatever it is.
Enjoy the foods and drinks you eat and feel good about them in the moment. Enjoy going for coffee or a few beers with friends. Food is a positive thing, especially when it involves bringing us closer together and forming human connection.
Physical activity is not a punishment.
Physical activity is done because you feel good about it, because it is fun and good for your long-term health.
Eating what we want and also exercising are two POSITIVE things we do because we feel good about it in one way or another. One doesn't have to be conditional on the other and neither should be a reward or punishment for the other.
Exercise because you feel good about it.
Treat yourself and enjoy food because you feel good about it.
Stop the self-abuse, negative self-talk, and self-inflicted punishment.
Be physically active, enjoy the foods you love often, and do what you feel good about.

Take your workouts outside!

Most of us realize that physical activity gives numerous psychological and actual medical advantages. Imagine a scenario where a straightforward change in area could dramatically expand those advantages.

Ends up, it can.

Outside workouts join two wellbeing improving exercises: moving your body and getting outside. What's more, the outcomes are outstanding. If you're wanting to improve your mood and mind-set, save money, and avoid the time it takes and inconvenience of getting to the rec center or the gym, look no farther than nature.

The following are some of the advantages of getting your perspiration on with Mother Nature.

Further developed Mood Improvement and Reduced Depression

Make mental health a top priority. When you are not happy, your immune system suffers. Make time for your happiness and mental wellness. Open air workouts and activities give emotional well-being a boost. Moving outside has been associated with improved mood, and helping to reduce anger and depression. Sunlight is necessary to allow your body to synthesize the production of Vitamin D, which might be to some extent responsible for this mind-set improving benefit, and which prevents susceptibility to infection. Breathing fresh air daily brings oxygen to every part of your body, which fights a variety of illnesses, infections and diseases. You don't need to run a long distance race or smash an outside training camp to receive the reward. Low-intensity exercises, such as strolling or tending to your garden will help you to achieve these benefits. For a speedy evening jolt of energy, head outside for a brief walk break, and return feeling invigorated.

Improved Confidence and Self-esteem

Research shows that just five minutes of open air activities and exercise can help improve confidence and self-esteem. Any outdoor area will do, however being close to plant life or water greatly improves this effect. Low to moderate activity and exercise shows more boosts in confidence and self-esteem than higher intensity outside workouts. Activities that are shown to help with confidence include walking, cycling, horseback riding, fishing and cultivating.

Minimal Expense (look for free, free, free)

Individuals frequently refer to cost as perhaps the greatest factor preventing participation in regular exercise. The outside option gives a minimal expense answer for exercise lovers and trainers. While high rec center or studio costs can go about as an obstruction to work out, outside settings, for example, low-traffic neighborhood roads and nearby parks offer free space for activities and exercise. Trainers can benefit from these spaces too as a place to train with no additional costs other than their fee.

Easy access (step out the front door or head to a nearby park)

Limited time is one more typical obstruction to working out. Traffic, parking garages, and packed locker rooms take away from the time needed to be active or have a workout. Taking advantage of the nearby parks, and nature trails can lessen these time imperatives. Hills, tracks and neighborhood trails give ideal walking, running and cycling settings, while close by parks offer ideal areas for training camps, yoga classes, resistance training, and playgrounds for your kids while you workout. You can use trees, benches, hills, and even the kids park structure itself to give you numerous ideas and support for your exercise.

Enjoying Mother Nature

Probably the best advantage of outdoor activities and exercise lies in the chance to enjoy and connect with Mother Nature and individuals and spots in your local area. Finish your bicycle ride at a nearby coffeehouse, wave hi to your neighbors as you run the roads, or set up a week after week walking, running or cycling group with companions, friends and neighbors. It’s free and fun and making new friends helps with mood enhancement. Mother Nature is beautiful throughout all her seasons and exercising outside can assist you with feeling grounded, deepen your connection to nature, and help you to learn to appreciate the world around you.

Get Out and Go, Go, Go!

If you're new to exercise or simply getting once again into it, start with short exercise outings and lighter or lower intensity. Even five minutes will do. Regardless of whether it's finishing a circuit exercise at your neighborhood park, mountain trekking through an adjacent path, or walking your children to school, any activity counts. All you need to do is get out and go!
