The best three months of the year are coming...and we all want to get the most out of them. More casual clothes, flip flops, outdoor dining, vacations, graduations and holidays. We need the summer pause that refreshes.
Summer is the season of revitalization. The sun is at its peak. It gives us more energy and more vitamin D. We might use that energy to be more active with more daylight and friendlier weather. However, we don't want to use that extra energy boost on consuming extra foods and drinks. This can be challenging because there are often more opportunities to socialize and more occasions to let our guard down.
Let's think about how much weight we'd like to lose, maintain or gain this summer? Be honest. Are you set on reaching a certain milestone marker this summer? OR, are you ok if you stay where you are on the scale, between now and Labor Day? OR, are you ok if you gain a little weight this summer?
It's your choice, and it's time to decide so that you will know how to manage your behavior, choices, points, activity and restrictions.
What do you REALLY want? WHY do you REALLY want it? How important is this to you right now? Be realistic. What might get in the way? Where, when, who are the potential obstacles? How will you feel by July 4th if you are not on track? What can you do? How will you feel by Labor Day if you are still not on track? What will you do?
Choosing a plan gives us reasons to stick with a plan. I am concerned with you getting what you REALLY want. You are worth it. You are worthy of your heartfelt desires. You are worthy of your goals. You deserve to get what you want out of this precious life of yours.
A great summer--yes, plan on it.
A healthful summer--yes, plan on it.
An active summer--yes, plan on it.
Control over the scale according to your plan--yes, plan on it too.
