Commit to Change

The first step in living lean is committing to change. What are your goals? Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to tone up? Is your blood pressure high, cholesterol high? Are you taking medication to keep blood pressure and cholesterol lowered? Are you constantly tired? The list goes on. We all have different goals. The ultimate goal should be living a lean, healthy lifestyle. This does mean we all have to be skinny minis or that we have to have washboard abs. The ultimate goal we should be focusing on is being healthy IN our body. The heart is one of the most important organs in our body. We should focus on being healthy within and the rest will follow.

So lets make that next step to Living Lean. I will walk you through the program I have been doing for the past 23 days. If you have any questions, please ask!

Here are a few guidelines to follow:

1. Verbally Commit yourself to a Healthier You! If it means writing it down, then do it. I hear so many people say how they want to be healthier and lose weight and eat healthier, but don’t actually make that commitment. Accountability is going to be so important in this process. Find a friend and commit with them.

2. Write down your goals. I would suggest setting both long and short term goals. Get a calendar and set a new goal for each week. My sister puts a sticker on her calendar each time she goes for a 4 mile walk. Seeing the more stickers each week on her calendar is motivating for her to keep going.

3. Plan, Plan, Plan! This is so important especially when it comes to food. I found that when I don’t plan for the week, I tend to eat out more and consume way more calories that my body needs. I now go to the grocery store once a week and plan my meals for the week. It takes a little bit of time but if you COMMITTED TO CHANGE this you can do it! I will put up options for people on the go as well.

I will put more guidelines up as I go. Please ask any questions along the way and send me your goals. If I don’t know the answer, I will find it for you.

Namaste,
