Are you staying focused? Or, are you letting the pull of the holidays take your eye off the ball. Remember its you vs. yourself. Look in the mirror! What are you trying to accomplish? We all have health & fitness goals. Even if you really don't have those goals, subconsciously you must realize not doing ANYTHING regarding your health is still a choice.
I have made a few observations while managing 3 separate accountability groups (ongoing private Facebook group and a 5 day challenge). What I've noticed is motivation and action must come from within. Being part of a group definitely helps INFLUENCE your choices.
You are in charge of you!
An interesting thread started this morning in my ongoing group. Yes we all get into a funk from time to time and with the pressure of the holidays upon us, days can be pretty overwhelming and stressful. Having the courage to post about your struggles is not easy task, but makes you human and relatable to others. I too am not perfect and manage to have days where I find obstacles beat even my best intentions. What I've learned about myself is that consistency is the utmost important behavior you can exercise. Without that, you cannot take advantage of momentum and make progress. Its like stopping and starting a car, it takes you that much longer to arrive at your destination.
Remember, take one meal and one workout at a time. Don't wait till January 1st to start. Yes the Holidays are in full swing! Keep yourself accountable by scheduling your workout NOW! Don't leave it for chance or it won't get done. If you want it bad enough you will find a way to make it happen.
My next 5 day challenge will start January 7th. Link to my like page and shoot me a private message for more details. Slots are filling fast.
