No need to moap and moan if you didn’t achieve everything hoped for in 2020. Look at the bright side of things: you made it through this entire year. You endured hardship like a good soldier during the coronavirus pandemic. Thousands of people died from COVID because it was their time spiritually, and due to low immune system defenses. If you achieve some but not all of your goals in 2020, put a big Kool-Aid smile on your face as you smoothly transition into 2021.
Most people wait until the new year to start their new year weight loss fitness regimens. This is a sad way to start because people actually delay their progress in getting started mentally. Those who prospered the most not just in weight loss fitness transformations, but anything in life, got started and stayed consistent with their objectives in the hardest and lowest times of their lives. If you wait until the new year to get started with your weight loss fitness regimen and wait until things are right, you’ll be waiting virtually a lifetime. Don’t wait until the new year to get started with losing weight. Why? It puts you in a different state of mind and gives you extra leeway for lollygagging on your health.
So you’re ready to get out of your comfort zone now and make healthy changes? Great. You’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. You possibly being clowned by coworkers, maybe your current or former employer, perhaps laughed at by family members for being fat, or just downright unhappy with the way you look. Whatever you’re feeling now, use that as motivation to give yourself the extra thickness acceleration toward setting New Year’s fitness goals and staying consistent with your workouts and cardiovascular objectives. Whether you want to lose 50 to 75 pounds in 2021, build a leader body, lose weight and train for a marathon, or just get back in shape feel good about yourself without building a lot of muscle, now’s the time for you to get started.
Five reasons why you need to start your weight loss journey again in 2021:
- It’s a spiritual thing: Many people think losing weight and getting in shape is just getting back into a slim close, eating healthy, and having the small slender waistline. Many people think weight loss is about looking good on the outside with a lot of energy and the perfect smile. That’s not even the tip of the iceberg. Weight loss is more than building a lean body, having apps and a slender waist. It’s truly a spiritual thing. You see, it’s a sin to be a glutton. When you strive for excellence to do the transformation work and lose weight genuinely with the intent of keeping the unhealthy weight off, you’re going against the grain spiritually and fighting your own flesh, reversing the comfort zone you used to be in of “gluttony.” As you smoothly and silently move away from the “gluttony mindset” and slowly get back into a lean body, you’ll slowly and quietly feel yourself possibly getting back on track spiritually. This means getting back on track with prayer, fasting, freeing your mind and heart from hatred, jealousy, indie, strife and malice, and being more forgiving towards others.
- It’s a good idea to restart your weight loss transformation as you gracefully season: The older you get, the more you appreciate beginning again in losing weight. The mindset you had in your 20s and 30s is not the same way you think in your 40s and 50s. This is potentially because you neglected the importance of eating healthy and keeping exercising cardio up to snuff, because your body was already in shape in your 20s and 30s. It’s only when you begin feeling and seeing signs of mental and physical decline in your late 30s and early 40s that you value the importance of getting back on track with mental and physical fitness. The newfound respect you have for life today should inspire you to take your weight loss transformation to the public ninth step, by openly claiming before people that you’re not where you’re supposed to be physically and desiring to start your weight loss journey again. Make it a habit of making yourself vulnerable and posting your weight loss accountability to your social media pages on Facebook, twitter, interest and LinkedIn as a way of keeping yourself accountable.
- Admit before people online you’re a glutton: Doing that really leaves you open to vulnerability and criticism. If you’re truly serious about making healthy changes in 2021 and years to come, now is the time to openly “fat shame” yourself before people that “I am a glutton until I change my ways.” Make an open proclamation before people online and off-line that you will commit to eating healthy, hitting the treadmill, cutting calories, and not indulging in your favorite hammy foods and sugary snacks. Bring your camera phone along with you to the gym to take pictures of your exercise in cardiovascular progress. Post your progress on Facebook and other social networks to show others your sticking to the script of making healthy changes in the new year.
- Home treadmills are more affordable today due to the Covid 19 pandemic: The government and other authorities throughout the country are urging people to stay home and stay safe. With the importance stressed on staying home, that means more people or working from home. This means more people are not only working from home, but more people are staying at home feeling feelings of isolation-loneliness. Or perhaps a sense of boredom throughout the day. Keeping yourself productive mentally and physically is a good idea with the investment made in a durable home treadmill. If you already have a treadmill in your house or apartment and it’s ported up in your bedroom, you may want to pull out the bottle of or you’ll from underneath your kitchen sink and squirt a few drops of oil in the joints of your treadmill before turning it on. That is, if you haven’t had your treadmill turned on and active in a New York minute. Buying a treadmill for your apartment or house is a good idea for losing weight around-the-clock. Your local gym might not be open during the wee hours of the night. And with the itch to scratch to do cardio, it can be done privately and easily from the comfort of your bedroom with your home treadmill. This way, you have no excuse not to stay on point with your weight loss transformation in 2021. Are you listening?
- You’ll have more energy for building your business in preparation for future millionaire status in entrepreneurship: Making a commitment and sticking to your weight loss contract to yourself of determination in losing weight and keeping the unhealthy weight off has benefits. It retrains your mind to get back on track with your workout and goals. It retrains your mind to do the transformation work, out of inspiration or desperation. It retrains your mind that the healthier you get, the more energy you have to use in working overtime building your side hustle business from the ground floor up, knowing the near future is right around the corner for you to achieve financial greatness as a near future online millionaire. Losing weight is more than getting in shape and having a small waistline and fitting in small to medium size clothing again. It’s a state of mind for life. The newfound energy you discover in your weight loss transformation will help you prosper beyond imagination in entrepreneurship, forcing people who doubted you from jump street to see you in a different light and respect you for going the extra mile.
‘Food For Thought’
It doesn’t matter how many years you fell off the bandwagon in the past. What matters is now. Your willingness to change the way you think. Your willingness to put down the sugary foods, whole geese, greasy buffet entrées, ignoring pizza from South Street, and avoiding processed, sugary carbonated beverages. When you make up your mind that you’re going to resort to cooking your own food, staying consistent with cardio and exercise, cutting out negativity, and developing and sticking to a plan, you’ll get organized physically, entrepreneurially and spiritually beyond imagination. But it’s up to you to make the commitment and take the first initial action step toward “greatness.”
