It\u2019s not about hard work and deprivation.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all about boundaries. Let me explain\u2026<\/p>\n<p>When you were a child your parents set boundaries around you. They were the authority on what was or wasn\u2019t acceptable behavior. You had to complete your chores before dinner. You had to finish your homework before going out to play. You had to eat all your vegetables before dessert.<\/p>\n<p>If you failed to comply with these boundaries then you knew that there would be consequences.<\/p>\n<p>As an adult you, and only you, are the authority on what is or isn\u2019t acceptable behavior. You are in the position to set boundaries around yourself. These boundaries serve as a framework of order around you \u2013 a rock of support in an otherwise chaotic world.<\/p>\n<p>With self-imposed boundaries you can assure your success in anything\u2026specifically with weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>Your fitness boundaries have to be self-imposed\u2014no one is going to do it for you. Don\u2019t look at this as a bad thing! Self-imposed boundaries are self-empowering. Let\u2019s face it, you\u2019ve been living life without fitness boundaries.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You eat whatever you want, whenever you want it.<\/li>\n<li>You use any excuse to avoid exercise.<\/li>\n<li>You indulge whenever it feels good.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Your Fitness Boundaries<\/b><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to introduce boundaries back into your life. These boundaries are the key to unleashing your ideal fit and healthy body.<\/p>\n<p><b>Fitness Boundary #1: What you eat<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you were to be perfectly honest with me, you could list off the foods that are unhealthy and fattening. So why are you still eating them? You know that refined, fried, processed and sugary foods are not good for you.<\/p>\n<p>Place boundaries around what you will allow yourself to eat. Acceptable food items include whole foods, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean meats.<\/p>\n<p><b>Fitness Boundary #2: How you exercise<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I know that you\u2019re not an Olympic athlete, but that doesn\u2019t mean that you can simply pass on exercise. By now you are well aware of the host of benefits that exercise provides. With regular exercise you\u2019ll look great, feel amazing and have more energy than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Place boundaries around how often you must exercise. Choose exercise that is challenging and fun \u2013 don\u2019t be afraid to try new activities that improve your strength and endurance.<\/p>\n<p><b>Fitness Boundary #3: When you indulge<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, we live in a world where indulging has become the norm, rather than the exception. When you live life without fitness boundaries, everyday is an opportunity to indulge. These indulgences all add up quickly, causing your clothes to become tight and your energy levels to drop.<\/p>\n<p>Place boundaries around when you can indulge. You\u2019ll find that by limiting your indulgences you\u2019ll end up enjoying them even more.<\/p>\n<p><b>Putting It In Action<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Sit down and take a long, hard look at your lifestyle. Are you eating as healthy as you could be? Are you exercising 3-5 times each week? Are you indulging too often?<\/p>\n<p>Answer the following questions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What 3 food items can I eliminate from my daily diet? (These should be nutritionally void items like high-calories beverages, fast food, packaged snacks, high-fat food, candy or desserts.)<\/li>\n<li>When can I schedule exercise into my week? (Pick 3-5 days, and select a specific timeframe. Example: I\u2019m going to exercise on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from 5am-6am.)<\/li>\n<li>When will I allow myself to indulge? (Don\u2019t go overboard here, especially if you need to lose weight. Enjoy a treat a couple times each month, and do so guilt-free knowing that you\u2019ve maintained healthy food boundaries the rest of the time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Remember that self-imposed boundaries are self-empowering.<\/p>\n<p>Fitness boundaries put your fitness results on autopilot. If you know what constitutes an acceptable meal, then choosing what to eat just got a whole lot easier. If you\u2019re committed to exercising 3 times a week, soon it becomes second nature.<\/p>\n<p>Need help setting up your fitness boundaries?
