I applaud those goals but more often than not getting in shape is done the wrong way. In fact, you may be searching the internet right now for the newest fad diet or quick fix to fitness.
The Problem
The problem is not wanting to give up unhealthy habits for healthy ones. Instead of looking at what would be gained, the focus remains on believing you would lose something somehow.I like to call this - sorta kinda fitness. If you sorta kinda try, then you sorta kinda get results.
Sound familiar? You want results but just can't commit to a fit lifestyle. We blame others and ourselves for eating off track and make excuses for missing workouts. When you give a small percentage to doing it right expect small rewards in return.
We are wasting too much time and missing too many opportunities to get healthy. Why is that? What is going on in your life where health is no longer a priority? Instead of trying to figure this out, unhealthy is accepted as the new normal. This is an unfortunate truth.
Other Factors
We have great intentions and even put in some effort to eat right and exercise - this is awesome! However, something happens to halt the process. Our mind plays negative games, you may hear a hurtful comment, or not seeing results can cause frustration.Other sorta kinda fitness factors can include:
- Partying too much with friends or at home.
- Eating unhealthy processed food half the time.
- Managing only one or two workouts per week.
- Being in denial about unhealthy habits
Resentment can also be a problem with sorta-kinda fitness. We fail to understand why we're not losing fat or not seeing muscle. This typically leads to negativity, more self-doubt, and believing fitness just can't happen for you.
Fixing the Problem
Acknowleding the unhealthy habits keeping you from reaching your goals is important. If you believe nothing is wrong, nothing will change.When you honestly start taking responsibility for your health is when true fitness happens. Fitness is a lifestyle and sorta kinda just doesn't work.
Helpful tips to adopt a healthy lifestyle include:
- Stop looking for quick fixes
- Drop the diet mentality
- Remain realistic about your results
- Adopt a positive attitude
- Focus on health not weight
- Be patient with your progress
- Keep going
