In just over a week we will be saying goodbye to 2012 and ringing in 2013. With the new year comes "new year Resolutions". Do you remember yours since last year? How did you do?
If you do not follow the resolution doesn't feel bad. Most people do not. The problem is because the resolution is usually the result of the decision of the moment or something that you know you need to change and this seems the right moment to change it. So he simply says, "this year I'm going to be healthy!" or "I'm going to lose 50 pounds!"
Both of these sounds great, but how are you going to reach them? What is healthier anyway? If you've only made it to the gym regularly for a month last year and this year that you come regularly for 2 months. Technically it was "healthy", but I doubt that is what you had in mind when he said that you were going to be healthier this year.
Or what about the "I'm going to lose 50 pounds!" At least here we have something to measure. Or lose 50 pounds or you don't. Good start, but for this job you need to develop a strategy. 50 pounds is a significant amount of weight and you need a plan for how you're going to lose it over the next year. This is where most people get stuck. As they are about to lose it? Might start walking, you might crash diet and regain it all before the end of the year, you could join a gym, etc.
For our example, let's say you decide to join a gym-art functional training which focuses on resistance training.
So we want to lose 50 pounds over the next year, that comes out to just under one pound a week. In three months we will be down 12 pounds to be on track. In one month, £ 4. All you're doing is tearing down the goal into smaller chunks that are easier to handle and thus we see the short-term success to stay motivated.
Now, you want to know a secret to successfully reach the goal?
Focus on the process, not the goal.
This means putting all your energy and focus on what you need to do every day and every week to reach your goal. This means that every week you need to get in three workouts and keep under control the nutrition. After a month you must have worked out 12 times and at the end of the year you should have worked out 156 times. If it just concentrates on 3 workouts per week by the end of the year will be paid the 50 pounds.
