Do something you enjoy, chances are you’ll stick with it longer and it
won’t feel like exercise. This could be brisk walking in the park with
your dog or a friend while using it as catch up time while getting your
daily exercise dose.
Use your time wisely, find other activities you could be doing rather
than sitting and watching television and if you have to catch your
favorite program why not grab an hour of exercise on the treadmill at
the same time? You could even record it or TiVo it.
Make exercise a priority, remember this is lifestyle choice and to undo
all the negative habits that were formed throughout your life you have
to counteract it with positive ones. Exercise is definitely a high priority
on that list. Set your exercise goals, re-evaluate them every month
then aim to increase your duration and intensity once your fitness level
improves.
Eating Plan
We have discussed which foods you should limit in your diet and which
foods you should get more of. We talked about poly unsaturated and
mono saturated fats and simple and complex carbohydrates and how
you need a balance of everything. Monitoring your fat and calorie
intake coupled with exercise will be instrumental in your weight loss.
As you would have already calculated your target body mass index and
your target weight you can now determine how much weight you will
need to lose in order to achieve that goal. As was mentioned earlier,
always start with an end in mind that way you can work gradually
toward your weight loss goal.
You become empowered when you know how much weight you need
to lose, how many calories you need to consume and how many you
need to burn. Your body really is a machine that consumes and
expends energy, once you figure that out your weight loss will be
completely within your grasp.
