Set Clear Weight Loss & Wellness Goals

By

“The only way of finding the limits of the possible

is by going beyond them into the impossible.”

Arthur C. Clarke

(British science fiction author, inventor, and futurist,

famous for his short stories and novels, among them

2001: A Space Odyssey)

             I was recently interviewed on eHealth Radio’s Fitness, Weight Management and Nutrition channels by host, Eric Michaels. You can find the podcast on my commit-fit.com website under the NEWS tab.

             The benefit you’ll gain from listening is the opportunity to use my words as a “C2GF mini tune-up” that will get you back on track with your weight loss and daily cardio routines – cos right about now, I hear a lot of you are still struggling with your New Year’s weight loss and wellness resolutions.

            So, my interview is a little something to help you find your way back on the road to wellness - look at it as the “Cliff Notes” of what I cover in my Commit To Get Fit With Laura Dion-Jones seminars.

And if you’re thinking about Olympic Gold – it might be a stretch for you and little too early for that, but you do need to set clear weight loss and wellness goals and reinforce them every day. And you need to begin again, right now, today.

Want to walk or run a faster lap? Yen for a quicker step? Lose 20 pounds or more? Be able to walk an hour without needing a nap after?

These things could very well happen but your first step is to define your weight loss and wellness goals by writing them down and/or stating them out loud to a class, friends, family or co-workers. Tell someone who will remember your intentions and remind you about them – and hold you accountable.

When you “go public” with your goals, it’s hard to break the contract you set up with yourself and others. It gets really embarrassing when you don’t stick to your goal.

The difference between a goal and a daydream is that the goal requires action to achieve it. The daydream happens the rest of the time when we’re sitting on the sofa, driving – and just contemplating.

And, do what I did: learn to hold yourself accountable – cos who else is there in the end but you, really?

Write your goals down in your fitness journal and post them where you’ll see them the most – fridge, freezer, bathroom mirror, on your computer screen, dashboard - places like that.

Your next step is to give yourself a reasonable deadline. Do like I always do for important events, holidays, and other significant benchmarks – I count backwards from the deadline date and set myself daily points of reference on my calendar to keep me on track along the way.

Creating smaller, incremental goals to motivate you as you go will help keep you on track.

Make everything you do count toward your end objective of improved health, fitness, weight loss and wellness.

When you write it all down – your goals become your reason, your road map – the “why” you’re doing it in the first place.

It’s up to you to figure out the “how” that fits in with your daily lifestyle. I can help you with this – but I can’t do it for you.

All I can tell you is the only way of finding the limits of what’s possible with regard to your weight loss and wellness is by going beyond them into the impossible.

Now, go listen to my eHealth radio podcast for that blast of positive motivational support you need right about now . . .
