Aristotle believed this.

Napoleon Hill agreed.

So did Steven Covey.

What is it?

The notion that the most powerful force on the
planet is habit.

If you think about it, you’ll see that this is
true …

Brush your teeth every day and you’ll prevent most
cavities. If you don’t, your teeth are likely to
rot. You don’t think about brushing your teeth.
Why not? Because it’s a habit.

Well, what if you could establish habits that
virtually guarantee optimum health and fitness?

It’s pretty obvious that you CAN – otherwise
there wouldn’t be anyone without disease, illness,
and excess weight.

The question is, do you have healthy habits?

Well, here’s the thing: whether you know it or
not, you’ve already established a set of habits
that are either making you fitter or fatter -
healthier or sicker – and the effects of those
habits are felt by you every minute of every day.

But there’s good news: people with optimum health
and fitness make consistent changes in 3 key
areas.

What are they?

It’s weight resistance training, cardio training,
and nutrition. These three are and will always be
the trinity of health and fitness.

Search as you may, there is no other way.

Celebrity endorsed diets, ‘Perfect’ exercise
machines, low fat microwave pizzas…they’re all
big, fat empty promises.

You’re smart enough to know a magic pill doesn’t
exist. Don’t let big corporate marketing seduce
you to believe otherwise.

The fact is, optimal health and obtaining a fit
and firm body takes time. And effort.

But the payoffs are huge. Want proof?

Strand accomplished with her health and

Do you work in an office setting? The office can be a disaster for your nutrition. You probably pass at least 6 candy jars on the way to your desk (if you don’t have one on your desk already:0) And then there’s the staff birthdays, celebrations, and “I baked cookies and had extra so I brought them in for you”. It’s a setup for failure.

Here at the studio we don’t have those temptations. But we do have, “I baked this new cookie recipe with no fat, no carbs, tons of protein, and no taste. It’s practically air! Wanna try?” Kidding of course:-). But it IS a supportive environment. (That’s a secret in itself.)

So how do you fight the office temptation?

How do you stay focused on your goals and avoid the brownies, cake, and cookies? And the all too evil vending machine?

The answer is simple. The answer is YOU. It’s self-control. It’s self-discipline. It’s self-motivation. You see, it is you. If you’re not committed to improving your health, fitness, and weight loss goals, then consider yourself committed to trying out your coworker’s new triple chocolate chip cookie recipe.

***The Secret***

I just finished up a nutrition consultation with one of our new clients. Nina is more focused than ever. She knows she has to forgo the candy jars, office treats, and vending machine. She now knows she has to keep her carbs in check, get more protein, and control her serving sizes.

And she even revealed the secret. Whether she knew it or not.

“I know if I’m hungry I’ll eat it. If I’m following your plan and eating my balanced meals throughout the day then I’ll be able to say no.”

That’s the secret! If you’re famished ready to eat your arm off, then you can bet your bottom dollar you’ll eat the office birthday cake. You must stay nourished throughout the day. On a scale of 1 to 10, your appetite should always be at a 5. You’re never starving. And you’re never stuffed. You’re nourished. And YOU are in control.

Try to keep this rule of thumb in mind:
Don’t eat because you’re hungry. Eat so you don’t get hungry.

A small change in mindset, but a major shift in your health, fitness, and weight loss.

Ok, hope that helps. I’d love to hear your thoughts about this. Do you work in an office setting with temptation galore? How do you fight it? Post your comment below. Maybe we can start a list of tips and tricks for the office…
Now go eat something healthy,

Tim
