How to stay Motivated Week 3

As we review a little this week to refresh our memory:

First we want to set a goal and write it down. You have to make it known, at least to yourself, what you want to accomplish. Then start by taking one day at a time. As you move forward surround your self with positivity. Celebrate the little things. Take control over yourself and don’t let the negative nellies influence you. Remember though you are not in this alone.

As we move into week 3 – ask for advice or do some research. How much have you lost toward your goal? Have you kept a journal and written things down? Sometimes it is just writing down the little things – like drank 64 oz of water today, walked 1/2 mile, ate low carb today. Anything that helps with positive influence. There are multitudes of information on the internet about motivation and about diets! But remember you aren’t on a diet you are on a lifestyle change.

Don’t be afraid to seek out help. One thing about Social Media today is they have Facebook groups and Instagram stories that can be very imformative. I follow some groups myself and it is amazing to see how the successful people can help the newbies. This life is perceived as difficult but it really isn’t that hard.

Here is a list of some key points when thinking about food for a low carb keto lifestyle.

  1. Eat Clean as much as possible – this means organic.
  2. Get rid of all the processed foods in your pantry so you aren’t even tempted.
  3. Don’t eat too much protein.
  4. If you just add Avocado to your meal plan you have probably added all the good fats you will need at least in starting. If you don’t like avocado, eat guacamole.
  5. Drink lots of water and add electrolytes
  6. Start slowly – take away a few carbs every day. If you go cold turkey remember you could get the keto flu. And that is no fun at all.
  7. Also slowly add in exercise if you haven’t been doing any. This is not necessary at the beginning because you will lose just by changing what you eat but even on low carb and keto it is all about a deficit.
  8. You will need to pay attention to portion control as well. If for some reason, you don’t start losing weight right away – seek some advice. There are things such as insulin resistance that block a low carb and keto lifestyle from working.

So as you try to stay motivated – remember your mindset. This can actually help the most. Have an awesome day!

How to Stay Motivated!

I’m going to be doing a series of posts over the next couple of weeks as our Monday post on “How to Stay Motivated” Each week we will go over one way of staying motivated.

So our first one is “Take It One Day At A Time”. I think as we get started on anything that we have as a goal in life – we jump forward and think about how we want it to end, but we sometimes forget the process.

So as we set that goal to lose weight, get better health or just plain take better care of ourselves, we need to remember to put down where you want to get to – Lose 50 lbs., Get rid of Joint Pain, Go to the Gym, etc. If you don’t sit down and write down the goal you want to get to then you won’t ever know if you have reached where you want to be.

  1. Write down goal you have in mind.
  2. Write a plan of action.
  3. Then Remember to Take One Day At a Time.

So, for instance you want to lose 50lbs by December 25, 2019 – now you have your goal.

Second step is to make a plan – Do a Low Carb or Keto Lifestyle. Now do your research on this lifestyle and figure out – are you going to do it with just food or are you going to add a supplement such as Pruvit Keto O/S. So now you have your plan written down and in your head.

Now the final step is all about Remembering to Take it One Day At a Time. We tend to forget how long it took us to get where we are weight wise or heath wise and we want it to go away over night. I can tell you though, if you have a plan, it will make things a whole lot easier.

I lost 27 lbs over three months and have kept it off for 2 years. I do a keto lifestyle (eating Keto 90% of the time) and I also take Pruvit Keto O/S. This assures that I will be putting my body into ketosis in under an hour instead of just having to rely on food to help me get there – which that process can take 3-10 days.

So remember – set a goal, write a plan of action and TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME.
