As a health coach, I see a lot of people who want to get in shape for the new year. It’s natural. It’s a new year filled with new promises and new possibilities. It seems like nothing is impossible.

There is a lot of truth in that last statement–nothing seems impossible! But wait. Haven’t you been here before? Haven’t we all? I remember telling myself every January 1st. that this year would be the year I finally got in shape. But by the following December, I found myself in the same if not worse shape than when I started. So what’s gone wrong and how can we fix it?

The truth is that it is not just one thing but a bunch of small things that that add up to failure. However, if there is one encapsulating issue that if addressed would solve most problems, it would be this: No plan!

No Plan

Instead of having a plan people say things like, “I’m just going to try harder,” or “I’m going to be more healthy,” and “I just need to lose a few pounds.”

The problem with this is that it is too vague. In what ways are you going to try harder? What does “more healthy” mean? And how much weight do you actually need to lose? The truth is without a specific plan you are more than likely going to find yourself in the same place by next year.

The plan you choose should be specific and should cover an eating protocol, a workout protocol, and psychological conditioning. You want to keep as motivated as possible on all levels of fitness. This includes what you eat, how you move your body, and your state of mind.

Realistic

Your plan should be realistic. It should include a time when you can eat your favorite foods, and a time off of exercising for rest.

It should also include more than one way to track your weight-loss progress. For example, the scale is a great way to see how much you have lost but this should not be your only means of measuring your success. Another way is by having a goal shirt or dress that you want to fit into. Often you may not be making progress on the scale but you may be fitting better into your clothes.

One Trick To Make Intermittent Fasting Easier

Intermittent fasting (IF) is not only healthy, but it’s a great way to lose weight. I have personally used it to lose a lot of unwanted fat. In fact, I IF most days of the week. But my biggest problem is getting back into it after a full day of eating.

After a full day of eating, I’m normally very hungry the following day. Sometimes I’m hungrier than if I had not eaten at all. Getting though the late part of the mornings and the afternoons are the most difficult times for me. But I have found one trick that helps me push past those points in the day when I really want to eat. What is that trick? I give myself tasks.

By tasks I mean anything that I can or need to accomplish. For example, when I start getting hungry, I will tell myself I have to mow the lawn first or something like that. After that, I’m normally not hungry and can sustain my fast for a few more hours. If I get hungry again and it is still not time to eat, I will simply give myself another task. Another example is going to the gas station to fill up my car.

The task can be anything. It just has to be something that you do, something that takes action. This will take your mind off of your hunger. In contrast, it can’t be a passive activity like watching a movie or listening to a podcast. In my experience, passive activities just allow me to focus on the hunger.

So next time you are intermittent Fasting and you’er having a hard time making it to your eating window, try this trick. And don’t forget to share this post if you found this helpful!
