Hi!
Had a coffee with my friend Linda this week. She's one of that exclusive group of people who have lost a lot of weight and kept it off for more than a year (over 5 years in her case).
Linda's day was shaping up to be a nightmare of organisation: kids to pick up and take to activities, shopping to do and a cake to get iced for a friend's birthday the next day, house for sale and potential buyers turning up for a viewing in the afternoon (the house was a mess), packing to go away the next day on a weekend trip (her, her husband and kids of 9 and 2).... a busy day however you look at it.
Yet she'd still found time that morning to go for a 40 minute run. She made it a priority and did it anyway, no matter how busy she was. No wonder she has kept the weight off for so long and looks great.
What do you do when you have a busy day? Do all your weight loss plans fall by the wayside? Could you be more like Linda and try giving them top priority?
Have a great week
Love

Feature Article : Split Second Decisions
The difference between being overweight and being beautifully slim, toned and fit is made in split seconds.
It's the split second when you decide not to go to the gym, the split second when you reach for the dessert menu and the split second when you decide to have another cookie with your coffee instead of putting away the packet that cost you so dearly in your plans to lose weight.
If you just take those decisions as an example you'll see what I mean. The first decision not to go to the gym "costs" you about 300 calories or so - about the amount you'd use in half an hour slow jogging on the treadmill, getting there, getting showered and changed. The decision to eat dessert will "cost" you at least 400 calories - probably more like 700. And the extra cookie? About 100.
If you add it all up, you're looking at about 800 to 1000 calories in 3 quick decisions.
And how many more decisions do you take like that in a day, a week, over the course of a year?
Even 200 calories worth of decisions like that a day adds up to 20lbs of fat added a year - or 20lbs of weight you're not losing. So you can see how easy it is to get overweight and how difficult it can be NOT to lose it even if you think you're doing well.
As it's those split second decisions you make day in day out which prevent your weight loss, the only way to succeed is to start making the right decisions. It's difficult at first (all change is) but once you start making the right decisions time after time again they become a habit and part of your normal routine. That's when you start losing weight and keeping slim without having to think about it constantly - it becomes automatic.
