Keep your focus! Keep to your plans. Take sustainable steps.
If you are new to working out, work out in small steps, 20 mins is a great beginning. If you can use a stationary bike or elliptical, to allow for weight baring. Take a walk in the cool weather. Go for 20 mins. Create steps that you can sustain in your life.
I use to think more is BETTER. But i have come to the conclusion to do enough to make progress, but also enough to keep me coming back. Sustaining efforts. You can't knock yourself out for a couple of pounds, and find yourself so sore and discouraged you quit. More is not better. Some times more pushes us over the edge of no return.
I use to think, "today I'll drink a gallon of water"....I will help this diet along! Then I realized, I would need to be consistent with water and I would burn out quickly with a gallon a day. So I dialed it back to 8-10 8oz glasses. More was not better.
Small steps that create a healthy habit, done with out a rush help create a lifestyle. We want to help this diet along, so we can arrive at this magical place. I've been the magical place and a whole new challenging adventure begins. Keeping it together, staying at goal, being in a real world with old addictions wanting to resurface! So much harder than the inital stages of Atkins.
Back to daily small steps, done with thought and intent on being here in a year!
