What You Don't Have Can't Harm You

If you don't have it around you, you can't eat it.  What?  "Cheat" foods.  Those foods that will take you away from your fitness goals and not towards them.  The ones that are either not wholesome for your body or you just simply cannot control binging on.  If you have these foods easily accesable, then you are setting yourself up for failure.  Go ahead.  Try to have them around and be strong.  But, it is easier to not have them at all because what you don't have around you cannot consume - not matter how much you want it.
If you must purchase or make an unhealthy item to have around to either treat a family member, guest, or friend purchase or make an item that he or she adores and you can resist or control your portions on.  Don't make it hard on yourself sweating bullets while those delicious treats stare you down all day.  Enjoy and savor them when you are out, but keep them away from your daily life.

My Challenge to YOU:  Only keep foods around that are wholesome or not tempting to binge on.

The Right Thing Without Delay

How many times do we hesitate to make the best choices for our bodies?  We compromise, make excuses, and the feel defeated when we choose less than the best.  Discouragement sets in and goals are not reached.  Do you deserve this?  Less than the best when it is in the power of your daily choices to be a fitness success?  My challenge to you this week is to do the right thing without delay with your personal diet and exercise routine.  There is no conflict.  Most, if not all, the time you know what is the best choice for you.  Do you want to feel your best?  Look your best?  Perform your best?  Make the right choice without delay.

Yours in Fitness,
Sarah
