This is especially apparent at this time of year when a lot of people get caught up in holiday events and social gatherings, eating and drinking whatever they want, and perhaps forgetting about their dietary and fitness goals.
1. Why Wait Until New Year’s to Get Fit?
Last night on my Insider Club coaching call we talked a little bit about the fact that as
human beings we tend to have a “I’ll do it tomorrow” mindset.
You could also call this procrastination.
This is especially apparent at this time of year when a lot of people get caught up in
holiday events and social gatherings, eating and drinking whatever they want, and
perhaps forgetting about their dietary and fitness goals.
But then that little voice in our heard kicks in and says, “It’s all good. We’ll start fresh on
January 1!”
So we continue to fall off the path and indulge everything that comes with the holidays.
At the very least, though, we should be making an attempt to counteract poor dietary and
lifestyle choices at this time of year (ie. chocolate, booze, etc…) with those we are more
regularly accustomed to – assuming they are healthy.
So if you have a fun-filled night of drinking, why not balance it out with a following day
of drinking lots of water and eating tons of greens?
Why not hit the gym first thing and get in a sweat producing full body workout that will
cleanse your body of its toxins and leave you feeling great for the rest of the day?
There’s really no need to wait to get back on track. You don’t have to be perfect. You
don’t have to wait until January 1 to get your life sorted out, while polluting your body in
the meantime.
My challenge to you is to start now.
Keep working out. Keep eating right. And by the time the New Year comes you’ll be far
ahead of the game and you’ll far less ground to make up en route to your health and
fitness goals.
So stop reading this and get your butt moving!
