Sticking With It

Too tired at the end of the day? Feel like giving up? Some tips to help you stay on track:

1. Invite someone to come along. Get your husband or friend, or partner to go on a run with you - a great way to spend quality time together.

2. Schedule your workouts. Clear the one hour for it until it becomes part of your weekly routine.

3. Stop fixating on inches and pounds on a daily basis. You'll feel more motivated if you like how you feel after a workout.

4. Monitor yourself. The doctors recommend self-monitoring techniques like journaling, and measuring food and activity, stress management, and getting support from loved ones.

5. Focus on your goal. Think of the benefits you will reap in the end- that healthy and well-shaped or contoured body.

6. Mandate "me" time. Everyone should mandate a certain time of the day as "me" time. Look at regular exercise as an investment, something that will give you energy to pursue other interests.
