PROJECT: HEAR ME ROAR!

PROJECT: HEAR ME ROAR! (not just for the ladies)

So your belly’s looking more like a laundry bag than a washboard. You made a New Year’s resolution– for the eighth year running – to lose enough girth to take your clothes out of the Museum of Waist lines (formerly known as your closet). Did you mean for that resolution to become an annual April Fool’s joke you play on yourself?

You say you really do want to lose that belly, perhaps even develop some abdominal definition in the process? The good news - it is possible! All it takes is some time, discipline, hard work, and most important, a different approach to your lifestyle.

Your first task (and fortunately, your easiest) is to stop thinking about your waistline in the abstract; there is no such thing as spot reducing. No known diet will blast fat off a particular body part. Your second task (a bit more challenging) is to commit to get fit. Stop finding excuses to NOT take care of yourself. And your third task (the most difficult) is to follow through with your decision. Do it! Sweat, have fun, and Get ‘er done!

Magic Potion??

Some dieters pin their hopes on pills and capsules that promise to "burn," "block," "flush," or otherwise eliminate fat from the system. But science has yet to come up with a low-risk "magic bullet" for weight loss. Some pills may help control the appetite, but they can have serious side effects. Other pills are utterly worthless.

Google weight loss pills and you will find page after page of sites claiming to have “the one” that will make you thin. There is already a site for “2010 Top 10 Weight Loss Pills!” There will be a whole crop of pills for 2011. And people will still be spending $100 a month on “THE NEW ONE.”

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and a number of state Attorney General have successfully brought cases against marketers of pills claiming to absorb or burn fat. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned 111 ingredients once found in over-the-counter diet products. None of these substances, which include alcohol, caffeine, dextrose, and guar gum, have proved effective in weight-loss or appetite suppression.

If that doesn’t have you convinced, take a look around you. If there was an over the counter pill that actually burned the fat while you watch t.v…..why are there so many overweight people.

The reality is we need to eat a little less and move a little more. That is the healthiest and cheapest way to get “thin”. Stop finding excuses to not take care of your body. You were only given one (you do not have an extra in the closet). Stop wasting money on late night infomercials that make quick promises. You are better off spending that money on a well trained Personal Trainer that will teach you how to make lifestyle changes for a healthier, thinner, more educated YOU!

Will Power or Time?

So you walk a little today, get your heart rate up, you lift a few weights, you eat a little differently, then tomorrow morning you wake up and look in the mirror… and see the same old flubber. You have to be pretty well along the path to see any significant results. What keeps you doing this simple thing, day after day?
Some say it’s will power! You just need more will power. A friend of mine used to say that people on diets who complain that they lack will power are usually suffering more from a lack of won’t power! For most people, will power ends up looking and feeling like some sort of grim self-tyranny, and involves creating an elaborate reward-and-punishment system.

Do you want to change? If so, I can tell you how to tap into the most powerful force for change there is. Would you like to know? Here it is: TIME. Position your daily actions so time is working for instead of against you.

What keeps you on the path is your understanding of the secret of time. If I stay on this road long enough, I’ll get the result I seek. It’s not a question of your mood, your feeling or your attitude. And it’s not a question of will power. It’s a question of simply knowing.

When you enter a darkened room, why does your hand reach out for the light switch? Because you know that when you hit the switch, the light will go on. You don’t have to give yourself positive self-talk about how you really ought to hit that light switch, or set up a system of rewards and punishments around whether you follow through or not with hitting the light switch. You don’t need any rigmarole; you just hit the switch. Because you know what will happen.

It’s the exact same thing here; you walk a little every day, lift a few weights, eat a little better, (hit the light switch) because you know it will make you healthy (the light will turn on).
