We have all done it. Created a goal, started out strong, only to have our motivation leak out of us and suddenly go missing. Before we know it we’ve quit – we just stopped showing up. In June’s post we discussed “planting our garden”, now it’s time to weed it. In order to keep a garden healthy we must get rid of the plants that aren’t helping it grow.
Here are 5 ways to “weed your garden” and stay on track for your fitness and health goals.
- Look at your schedule for the last 3 weeks – determine what is soaking up your time, what you can cut out, and where you can schedule in workouts.
- Check out your eating habits – have you increased portions, need to get back to your journal, or eliminate the unhealthy choices from your cupboards. Do this now.
- Find a workout buddy – either in person or online – someone you can be accountable to and who can be honest with you about your workout and diet behaviors (in a supportive way). This will help as your motivation wanes next time.
- Do the above & recommit to yourself to yourself and your goals.
- Don’t beat yourself up – progress is measured not by how far you go without falling down, but how quickly you get back up after you do. Life happens and healthy living happens as a result of healthy choices every day. The important thing is to get back to it as quickly as possible!

Many people while dieting should recall the importance
of having a nutritious diet because it accelerates the operation of shedding pounds while
supplying the body with all the current necessary nutrient elements and vitamins that one has to carry on together with his daily life.
Losing weight and staying lean is extremely difficult for most people.
A great way to start paying more care about your eating habits is usually to start keeping an everyday food diary.
