I just wanted to make a quick link to the Abs diet here. I will put up a more extensive review later but wanted to pop this up for everyones benefit.
The Abs diet seems to be a modification of Fit For Life which is a great diet/exercise/lifestyle plan that has been popular for a couple of years at least and is great for getting results because of the perfect schedule that you keep for your eating and exercise.
I have started a new fitness website as some of my fitness weblog has gotten out of control You can find information on diet, exercise, health and other issues that assist your well being.
Don’t worry though as at this point the website is a bit of a mirror of this weblog. My plan now is to just ad health and fitness infomation that I find in articles to this weblog and use the website for any long article type posts
Goal setting is an important piece of any changes that you make in your life. Whenever you get started making changes in any way I am sure that you have found that the giddiness that you feel at the beginning feels like it will keep you going as long as it takes. After a while we all know that doubts creep in and before you know it the excitement is replaced by doubt and the things that seemed important now feel like a chore.
Well if we start every new plan by setting goals correctly we will have more than a fighting chance once the excitement fades we will have A PLAN.
Goal setting is a simple process, you decide what you want, make lists of why you want your goals as well as a list of what could stop you, make a plan decide what you will use as goal posts as you move toward the goal and finally once you reach your goal you celebrate the achievement.
Let’s try this out with a weight loss goal:
- Goal, to lose 30 pounds
- Why, to feel and be more
healthy, prove to myself I can do anything- What could stop me, people
offering food, bad weather for workouts, tiredness- Plan, to do cardio 3 days a
week and weights 2 days a week, to cut the size of my meals, to cut out
all sugar except for once a day, get lots of sleep to rest from the
changes and workouts- Goal posts, lose 2 pounds
per week, 30 pounds should be lost in 15 weeks, adjust diet and
exercise as needed- Celebrate, after finishing
this weight loss get a family picture taken with me in new clothes
This goal setting system is almost fool proof, the only thing that you should add if you can is a partner and someone that you can talk to about your progress, a spouse maybe or a personal trainer if it is a exercise goal.
Now go forward and make some goals! One more thing that I learned from listening to Tony Robbins is that when you do make a goal don’t leave the site of a goal without taking an action towards it’s attainment.
