tough love

750 gym members this month peeps, and what have I learnt about human nature? Who will stick and who will twist?

NOTHING! Well – put another way – you can never tell. Some members say all the right things at Induction and they’ll go hell for leather – then fizzle out fast! Some feel they come because ‘they should’ and then adhere until they are gym furniture! But this I CAN tell you – most of us need support & structure, and information, mixed with some inner resolve. Let’s look at ‘Sue & Jen’ (fictional): Sue makes it regularly to the gym as she knows the ‘lose it or lose it’ is not a myth! Jen would like to attend more often but ‘time gets in the way’ (but somehow spends hours with games on Facebook every day!). Sue listens to advice given and prepares all her meals in advance so she won’t mess up, Jen prepares cakes for her family but hey – a proper meal takes too long and ‘she has better things to do’ the cake will hold her til tea time (she’ll lose that 3 stone from next month when the kids are back at school... Sue drinks lots of water as her body will not give up fat if it is dehydrated, Jen figures another cappuccino cannot harm her – hey, you only live once! You getting the drift?!?

Every decision you make will impact on your health – and we have to make MANY every day. We DO only live once, so let’s make it a vibrant, energised, and long lived existence!!
