Laurie’s Rant – December 2011

We all know that this time of year can get pretty hectic. Tyring to fit in work, family, social functions, school commitments, Christmas, New Years and maybe a holiday means that your weekly routine is likely to get disrupted for quite some time. We tend to lose all CONSISTENCY – especially with our exercise and healthy eating. I’m sorry to say folks, but without CONSISTENCY, we will never achieve the health and fat-loss goals we so desperately want. Come to think of it, we can’t (and won’t) achieve anything in life without CONSISTENCY. If you’ve got a child who is currently doing their exams, I’m sure you regularly preach the importance of CONSISTENCY with their study so that they can achieve good grades. If you happen to be learning a new instrument, hobby or sport, you’ll realise that CONSISTENCY with your practice is paramount. Heck, we even need to turn up to work with CONSISTENCY so that we can earn a living and not get fired! So, why is it that we don’t commit to our exercise program and healthy eating plan with CONSISTENCY throughout the whole year and then still complain about our lack of results?? Folks, if you’re trying to shed fat, improve your health or boost your fitness, you’ve got to exercise and eat healthily with CONSISTENCY… no matter what else you’ve got going on in your life. You can tell yourself that you ‘just don’t have the time’ or ‘something has come up’ or ‘I’m really busy at work this time of year’… but they are just excuses. And in 12 months time when you realise that you still haven’t achieved the health and fat-loss you’ve been dreaming of, no one else will know or even care. But I’m sure you will…
