How many times have you started a fitness routine, only to find that you lose interest or lack motivation a few weeks into it?  If you have, you\u2019re certainly not alone. I recall sitting with one potential client who was really contemplating whether or not she wanted to hire me at all. She was already predicting that she would fail at any attempt, just as she had done so many times before.  My advice to her?  Expect it. Expect that it will be hard, expect that you will want to quit, expect soreness, expect excuses, and expect lack of motivation. These things are very likely to be a part of your journey. However, if you know what\u2019s coming, you can prepare yourself to deal with the obstacles. We talked about:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\u00b7       Setting short and long term sustainable<\/i> <\/i>goals. Changes YOU can live with.<\/div>\n
\u00b7       Relying on structure<\/i> instead of just motivation (you exercise because your day timer told you to, period.)<\/div>\n
\u00b7       Adapting a \u201cno excuses\u201d<\/i> policy for yourself.<\/div>\n
\u00b7       Having compassion<\/i> for self. If you mess up, wipe the slate clean and start again!<\/div>\n
I can\u2019t tell you the number of people who start and quit, start and quit. What if this time\u2026.you just didn\u2019t quit? Imagine where you would be next year this time. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\u201cThis is how it will go\u2026\u2026..
\nYou\u2019ll get desperate, so you\u2019ll start. You\u2019ll be motivated. You\u2019ll be on fire. You\u2019ll be tired. You\u2019ll be sore. You\u2019ll make an excuse. You\u2019ll miss one day. Then you\u2019ll miss two. You\u2019ll beat yourself up. You\u2019ll try again. You\u2019ll make an excuse. You\u2019ll sleep in. You\u2019ll despair. You\u2019ll think it\u2019s not worth it. You\u2019ll think you\u2019re not worth it. You\u2019ll get desperate. You\u2019ll quit.
\nAnticipate that ALL of these things will happen eventually, and then just DON\u2019T do the last one. DON\u2019T QUIT, whatever you do\u2026\u2026DON\u2019T QUIT.\u201d<\/div>\n
