Now that you have your specific, measurable and achievable goal I want you to think about why you want this. Think hard because your why will be the tool you use every time you feel like giving up. It has to be strong and powerful.
It could be your children, setting a good example for them, being healthy to see them grow and see your grand kids born. Maybe its being fit by your wedding, anniversary, family reunion or bikini season. Maybe you lost a loved one because of a health problem and you don't want to follow in their footsteps. What ever it is, make it strong enough to get you through those tough days when you don't want to eat right, exercise etc.
My why was always to prove others wrong. I started an Herbalife Nutrition program and everyone told me it wouldn't work, I wouldn't lose wight and even if I did I would just gain it back. Two years later and I lost the weight, I feel better than I ever have and not only have I kept it off my coach has motivated me to workout and gain muscle. Everyday I eat right and workout is another day I can look those who doubters in the eye and say "I DID IT, what is your excuse?"
What ever your why is find pictures or quotes or even that bathing suit you want to fit in that reminds you of why you are doing this and put them where you can see them, and every time you make a decision that takes you toward that goal look at your reminder and be proud.
Every day you are tempted to cheat look at it and remember why you're doing this. Every time you slip up and know that mistakes happen, we make bad decisions, we stray from our goal but its not the falling that sabotages us, its the not getting back up. So look at your why and say I am getting back up and I will be better!
You can do this!
