A Fitness and Weight Loss Program That Really Works

Oh, let's be honest, most of us want to lose weight and get in shape, but we just don't know where or how to start! Well, my suggestion is to take baby steps. Literally. Taking small steps that build week by week and month by month has been proven to make the biggest changes in long term weight loss and over all health improvement. Don't try to be the "Week End Warrior"! Consistency, my friend, is the key to achieving your goals! But first, a look around the house and then maybe a little trip to the store, if we need to buy a few things.

Materials Needed:

Wall Calendar

Notebook Paper

Pen

1" wide three ring binder

Swim suit

Camera

Tape or glue

Hopefully, you found all the items on the Materials Needed list. Now, get out your wall calendar and pick a day to start your new lifestyle change. Please don't call this a "diet". This is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE! Usually, Monday is a good day to start. Find a piece of notebook paper and a pen. Most people find it very helpful to write up a contract with themselves that includes the date they are starting their health program and the date they want to reach their goal weight. (If you would like me to send you an official New Healthy LifeStyle Contract, just email me. My email is listed at the end of this article.)

Next, find a calculator. Decide how many pounds you want to lose and divide by 2. This is approximately how many weeks it will take to achieve your goal. Weight loss of two pounds per week for the average person is do-able and realistic. Sign and date your contract. There's something about signing your name on a dotted line that seals the decision in stone.

Start out on Monday and schedule yourself atleast one day of rest from your program. On Monday, Week 1, Day 1, take a photo of yourself in a swim suit or have a friend take it for you. Front and back views. I know, I know, this sounds terrifying, humiliating and maybe even a little disgusting, but I'll tell you why this is important later. Now, get that tape or glue and attach your photo onto a sheet of notebook paper. Put it in the binder along with your contract and a lot more paper. You're doing great so far!

Next, write down these words on a separate sheet of paper in your notebook:

Neck

Chest/Bust

Bicep

Waist

Hips

Thigh

Calf

Ankle

Now, take the tape measure and measure around your neck, your chest or bust (the fullest part of the bust), bicep (not flexed), your waist (not held in tight, just hold your tummy in normally), hips (the fullest part of your back end), thigh, calf and ankle.

Record all the measurements in your notebook because you're going to have a great time looking back on these numbers in a few weeks and seeing your progress! Oh, and the swim suit photo... whoever would like to send me their BEFORE (AND AFTER) PHOTOS, I will post them on my web site. The web site is listed at the end of this article. You will be such an encouragement to others on their New Healthy Lifestyle quest!
