World renowned motivational speaker Zig Ziglar in his cd series,
"Goals: Setting them and Achieving them", asked the question, "Do you
know anybody who got cooked in the squat?"
What he meant by this
was do you know anybody that is a "half a minder" or "gonna doer"?
People who are going to do something when the time is right is what he
was specifically referring to.
Zig was right on. The situation will never be that perfect moment to get something started, especially when it comes to weight loss. And as Nike's ads says, "Just Do it!"
You see there really is nothing stopping you from that weight loss goal you have always dreamed about, except you. By now you know that in order to lose weight and keep it off you need to implement a proper weight training and nutrition program.
If you want to succeed in your weight loss goals, going along with implementing that weight training and nutrition, you need to write everything down in a journal. Studies have shown that when you write down what you want to accomplish for a week, and then record what you actually have done, your success increases by as much as 70%. Wouldn't you like to have those numbers in your corner? Of course you would!
So here is what you are going to do so you don't get "cooked in the squat" when it comes to losing weight. Go out buy yourself a one subject notebook. They are inexpensive and you can get them for less than a dollar. Each page will represent a day in the life of your weight loss program. On the top half of the page you will write down everything you want to complete for that day. For example, write down the meals you are going to eat, when you are going to eat them and so on. Then in the bottom half of the notebook, you are going to write in what you actually ate. Of course you will do the same for your exercises as well.
Make sure you record your starting weight and then every couple of weeks record your weight to see how your progress is going. There is no need to record it everyday, that is overkill, but every two weeks is fine. Some people even go to the lengths of drawing up a chart to see a visual progress of where they are headed. That choice is up to you.
Increase your chances of not being a "half a minder" or "gonna doer" and start your weight loss journal today. Just remember that before you start any type of weight loss or nutrition program that you should get a complete physical from your primary care physician.
