How to go from Procrastinator to Action Taker

What’s the biggest thing that blocks people from successfully losing weight and improving their health? They never get started on it in the first place. You HEAR people all the time TALK about how they want or need to lose weight, exercise or eat better, but all they do is TALK about it and never actually get started.

It’s not that they can’t exercise or improve their eating habits; it’s just that they never actually “DO” it. And it’s not just with their health and fitness goals. This concept applies to other goals as well. So what’s holding you back?

Talk is cheap
When we don’t actually “have to” do something, we tend to put things off and make excuses that hold us back. In the case of weight loss and improving one’s health, when it comes to diet and exercise, let’s face it…. people make excuses. The #1 excuse people make as to why they don’t exercise is that they don’t have time. When it comes to improving your diet, the #1 excuse is that eating healthy is expensive, followed up with I don’t have time to prepare a healthy meal.

What would it take for you to “have to” improve your health and fitness? Would it take getting a poor health evaluation from your doctor? I’m here to tell you chances are that won’t do it. I know this from first- hand experience. I hear from people all the time about a health issue (high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, borderline diabetes, etc.) they have either been diagnosed with or warned about that can be corrected or improved with a diet and exercise program, and will TALK about how they need to exercise and eat better, yet still don’t ACT on it.

Are you an information junkie?
Some people are great about gathering information, love learning, but still don’t ACT on the knowledge they’ve acquired from all the information they gathered. All the research, learning and information is useless unless you ACT on it.

What do I mean by this? You can buy the best book in the world on how to successfully lose weight and keep it off for life, read it cover to cover and NOT implement any of the information you learned from that book.

The question you need to ask yourself is why you invest your time gathering information, yet don’t implement any of it?

Keeping them honest
Most people need to be held accountable in order to act on things. Your paycheck keeps you accountable. A monetary investment keeps you accountable.

Part of what I do is keep people accountable. They’ve made an investment by purchasing my services. I keep them accountable by having them show up for their appointment with me whether it’s on line or in person. Those who make the investment are taking action.

Here’s a great way to keep yourself accountable. Many people say they want have great abs and look great in a swim suit. What if you were to schedule an appointment with a photographer for a swimsuit photo shoot? Find a photographer, meet with him/her, set a date for the photo shoot (3 or 6 months from now), and pay the photographer ½ the money up front for the photo shoot. That would provide you with a goal, time frame to achieve your goal, and incentive to ACT on getting those great abs.

Is procrastination holding you back?
One of the biggest reasons why most people fail to do anything they dream about whether it’s improving their health and fitness, starting their own business, etc., is that they procrastinate. They hold off on doing anything because the timing isn’t right, they have something else going on, they never seem to have enough money, etc.

With weight loss, I hear the following comments all the time – I’d like to wait until next month to get started or I’ll get started after the New Year. Guess what? The never do.

Are you an action taker?
If you don’t ACT NOW, chances are you never will. That’s what separates action takers from procrastinators. Those who take action get results. Those who procrastinate achieve NOTHING. It’s as simple as that.

If I wasn’t an action taker, I would not have achieved the results I have gotten not just with my health and fitness, but as a business person, and in my personal life with the friendships I have made.

Ask yourself, are you an action taker or are you going to continue being a could’ve, would’ve, should’ve and achieve NOTHING.

The time is NOW to ACT and ACHIEVE. Those who ACT triumph in life and what better place to start than with your health and fitness.

Jenn's Holiday Tips to avoid the Bulge

Some FABULOUS holiday tips...start thinking about this stuff now. Being prepared is always the huge key to success. Get you attack plan ready! :)

Holidays are coming up quick and you know what that means?! Food, folks and fun (Sorry McD's, I stole your line from a decade ago)!!

The average person gains anywhere from 10-15 pounds over the holidays. That is in the ball park of 35,000-52,500 excess calories over the next 3 months. So I am going to give some tricks for cheats so you don't feel deprived but can stay on track with your fitness goals.

Halloween- My second favorite celebration of the year. I LOVE scary movies and the whole atmosphere with Halloween. Lots of candy though. To say you won't have a piece or two would be pretty unrealistic. What I do is pick out 3 candies I really enjoy (Reeses PB cups, Kit Kat Bar and 1 other thing that is calling for me). Now to make sure I don't have any excess candy tempting me, the last few trick-or-treaters get the mother load and all remaining candies go bye-bye.

Thanksgiving- Candied yams and pie of every kind. The tip is to load your plate with the quality stuff first, turkey, any garden salads or veggies. Have your fill and then have some of the not so good stuff. The benefit of this is that the proteins and veggies will slow the absorption of the sugars and you'll be less likely to over indulge on the sweets because you'll be full from the proteins and fibers.

Christmas and the New Year- This is the hardest one for most people because it is a food-fest for the whole month. Be wise and prudent. Prepare your foods for the day and the work place treats won't be near as tempting. Also, as hard as it can be with work, family and friends throwing parties, make an honest effort to get some kind of workout in at least 4 days a week. I don't care if it is for only 20 minutes, you need the consistency. Too many people let the whole month slip and the extra calories with less activity is a recipe for disaster.

Here is to happy holidays to come and hopefully a New Year resolution that doesn't include weight loss!!
