I love Under Armour and I love the message this commercial sends for the weekend. WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE!
Just like in Linda Spangle's book "100 Days to Weightloss", we must protect our lifestyle!
“ No one will ever care as much about your diet plan as you. So it’s your job to prevent people or events from pulling you off track. Instead of depending on others to help you be successful with your diet, make a commitment that YOU will protect your program at all costs.
Watch for ways to recognize and avoid situations that might cause you to weaken. Rather than assume you’ll be able to resist your mom’s apple pie or the potluck casseroles at work, don’t put yourself in the situation where you’ll have to test your willpower.”
There will always be times and situations in life where people and events are going to put food in your face and steal your time to exercise. It's YOUR job to fend this off; they don't need to change but you certainly do.
Linda suggests that a good tool to use in social situations is to postpone eating or make people think you aren’t ready for food yet. She suggests sidestepping the food pusher by using these phrases:
“Not just yet... I’m going to wait a little while.”
“I've already eaten.”
Or “I have to go to another event, so I plan to wait and eat there.”
“My doctor said . . . ”
My personal favorite..."My trainer has me on a specific healthy meal plan." If they don't like it - have them call me. :) I looooovvveee to talk to possible sabateurs. No one gets by the Queen.
Keep saying it, keep believing it, practice it, and do it all with a SMILE ON THY FACE. If you look thrilled with your choices and lifestyle they will believe you...and maybe you will believe in yourself more to PROTECT YOUR HOUSE!
Oh and one more tip! No one said you have to sleep in on the weekend. If you have "busy" weekends get your butt out of bed like the rest of us and move early. If you are reading my blog you are probably out of high school and college. The life you want is the body you are willing to work for.
Y'all have a fit, healthy, movement filled weekend!
