Routine

Want to lose weight? My story has been featured on CBS' The Doctors, CNN, and The Huffington Post. Learn how I lost over 125 pounds (100lbs in 6 months!) by clicking here.

Are you excited about losing weight and getting that six pack for the beach next year?  Of course!  Are you excited about hitting the gym at 5 and counting calories?

I doubt it.

To quote one of my favorite movies of all time:  “That’s all it takes really, pressure, and time.”  Red was talking about escaping prison, but the message still resonates.

Weight loss revolves around a routine.  Maintaining said weight loss revolves around a routine, as well.  On most days, burning calories and practicing portion control are and always will be boring and uneventful.  They both just need to be included in your daily routine, much like taking a shower or going to work.

While it’s fun and exciting to lose 50 pounds, get a clean bill of health, buy new (smaller) clothes, receive compliments from friends/family, etc., the daily grind to actually accomplish all of this is not.  It’s nothing but boring, hard work.

But it’s worth it.
