Have you been a victim of the gym gadgetitis that is sweeping the nation today? It seems as if every time you turn on the boob tube another body part pumping away on a new gadget. I even saw one that you need not do a thing but sit there and let some invisible energy work your abs through some rubber band around your waist while you read a book. Well, if that’s what you’re into then may the force be with you, yes Yoda had something I think. I however I prefer a more realistic and practical approach.
The lazy daisy syndrome
Most of us, no matter how much we want to get fit or lose weight fall into this trap. We begin our new regiment and peter out three weeks later only to find ourselves angry and disappointed ….at ourselves ! This is not a pleasant experience but we put ourselves through it again and again. We spend thousands on special diet food , pills and gadgets only to put the gadgets under the bed and forget them or start using our treadmills as a hanger. I hope you know after reading this article that this is so unnecessary.
Love thyself
You are a wonderful creation, your body and mind do unfathomable things just to keep you alive. Yet we give in to self – loathing everyday and for no other reason than our attitude toward ourselves, food and fitness. I went through this myself until I stopped caring so much and accidentally began to understand what the keys are to conquering the lazy daisy syndrome and I am going to share them with you now. And believe me it is all as simple as I am teaching.
The Keys
-
Go to Google and type in “calories needed to lose weight” . The search will turn up a lot of pretty decent calorie calculators and food databases.
2. Book mark the one that is right for you after you calculate how many calories you need to lose the wight you want in the time that you want to in a healthy manner.
Then the easy part! you only need the recommended 30 minutes of exercise a day, I know, that sounds like a lot after work and the home routine and the kids.,that is when the syndrome kicks in. The good news is … you don’t have to do it all at the same time and it doesn’t have to be traditional exercise! Listen, breathing burns calories, house work burns calories! Most of those calorie calculators will have a database that tells you how many calories you burned doing daily activity as well as traditional exercise
3. Choose an activity or two each day and make sure you spend ten lousy minutes doing it at a time. Do that three quick times and you’ve done it! And the best thing about doing it this way is that your body and mind will start to expect activity and you will actually have made it a habit… a habit that eventually , sooner than you think has become a lifestyle choice !
4. Go grocery shopping when you are not hungry so you can focus on buying everything that is between 100 and 300 calories. I am not the biggest fan of pre – packaged foods but at the beginning to get you body used to smaller portions and being satisfied with that and in three weeks I can guarantee for most people this will bring change that is permanent.
The secret is here that you must re – train your attitude and with the advice above, you can do it almost sub – consciously . This is a good thing because remember , if you think you are dieting, the chances of you staying on the bandwagon or gaining twice the weight back again in almost guaranteed.
