Trying to get certain tasks accomplished without the right tools is a recipe for frustration or worse, failure. Ever try to clip a bunch of coupons without a pair of scissors? Tearing them by hand works, but it takes forever and you know you’ll end up ripping a bunch in half. Want to head outside to walk for five minutes this hour? You wouldn’t brave the sidewalk without shoes. So why would anyone try to lose weight without the right resources and equipment? At your meeting this week, you’ll hear what some Lifetime members added to their own weight loss “tool kit” to help them stick to healthy habits and get to goal and some of their tips and tricks just might work for you, too, so write them down!
The right tools for the job
Walk into any hardware store and you’ll see aisle after aisle of hammers and pliers and wrenches and other items you’ve used before. Look a little more closely and you’ll also find unfamiliar, specialized tools for very specific jobs. It’s the same with weight loss tools: Some are pretty straightforward, but you might need an expert (like your Leader or other Lifetime members) to help you know when and how to use the other ones.
So what’s in your tool kit? Could your weight loss efforts benefit from a few new “tools,” or just some new combinations to see if they work even better for you that way? Think about what you already rely on to make the Plan work for you, such as:
Weighing in at your weekly meeting keeps you accountable, and your Leader and other members offer advice Air Jordan 7s and encouragement.
Using the mobile app to check PointsPlus values of foods when you’re eating out.
Keeping a set of measuring cups and a food scale at home to make sizing up portions easier.
Practicing the new Nike LeBron 11 healthy Routines you’re discovering each month.
Now consider the areas where you might be struggling. Do you need a little motivation when it comes to fitness? Maybe the feedback from an activity monitor like ActiveLink (below) would give you some incentive to move more. You might also get a Air Jordan 18s boost from something as simple as a new pair of sneakers or Air Jordan 15s a trial personal training Jordan Retro 13 session. If you’ve been in a meal rut lately, use the Plan Manager to find some new recipes, or visit the Community to see what everyone else is making for dinner tonight. Sometimes one tool is all you need for the job, but don’t be surprised if you need to put a few together to really get the results you want. Try new combinations to find what works best for you.
Seeing the number on the scale go down, or achieving a non scale victory like fitting into a slimmer pair of pants, is incredibly gratifying and you can thank your “tool kit” for helping you achieve those goals.
