I bet with money. If you let yourself go during Wake Up Lean those tough times (like 97% of folk do) you'll destroy your confidence and self-esteem. You'll feel pretty low. You'll beat yourself up. And you'll have trained yourself to quit when things get hard. I know because I've been there.The only difference between me and the other people you know is that I'll admit it. It used to be a weakness of mine. Why am I telling you this? Because I want you to be strong on that sorry day when life decides to throw you a curveball. I want you to break the mould and be different.
Even though it was a bit sad when my summer vacation recently came to an end, I was actually looking forward to getting back into my healthy work routine. Sure waking up at 5am is not the most enjoyable things to do in the world, and the potential hour-long commute is another part of the routine that I really did not miss these past ten weeks. But aside from a few annoyances, sticking with my work routine really helps keep me focused on healthy living habits which in turn translates into weight loss.
This past summer was jam-packed with what seemed like one event after another. When there wasn't some type of mini excursion going on, I was dealing with unexpected family issues that needed to be taken care of. As innocent as those scenarios may sound, in all actuality each one provided instances where sticking with an appropriate portion size of food and calorie count for the day became incredibly difficult, and exercise unfortunately was thrown completely out the window.
