Get Your Tip From Lee Labrada Now
on to the audio tip!
As
you enter the second week of your Challenge, you are no doubt
experiencing what I call "growing pains," that is, you're
occasionally feeling sore and tired from working out, and a little
hungry at times. That's normal. Your body is adjusting to the
new requirements that you are putting on it. If you hang in there
it's going to get easier.
Working
out is harder than not working out. It takes energy. But for those
of us willing to expend the energy and invest the time, there
is a huge reward waiting.
We
get stronger and better. We improve not only our bodies, but also
our self-image, energy, vitality and our lives.
I
too have days when I "just don't feel like working out."
But over time, I have learned to coax myself to do it, because
the reward is too great, and so is the penalty of not doing it.
Here are some things to keep in mind this week:
1.
Keep your eye on the reward. Make a habit of mentally
visualizing the improvements you are making. Keep photos. Improvements
will be slower during the first few weeks, then will accelerate.
2.
Enjoy the process. Breathe deeply during your workouts.
Relish the exhilaration you feel when you complete your workout.
3.
At the beginning of each week, plan your workouts by
writing them into a calendar, which you should keep in your gym
bag. When you are finished with your workout, pull out your calendar
and check it off. It"ll give you a feeling of accomplishment.
4.
When possible, structure your workout so that you do
it at a set hour each day, as part of your daily routine. Your
body will have an easier time adjusting to workouts this way.
5.
Plan your meals ahead of time so that you have food when
you need it. If you wait until you are hungry to look for food,
you are likely to eat the first thing that you find, and this
can set you up to blow your diet. Refer to the Lean Body Challenge
meals listed in the free Lean Body Challenge program. If you do blow your diet, don't
give up. Just pick up where you left off the next day. The idea
is to make progress, and not get hung up on perfection.
I
know that you can do it! Here's to your never-ending improvement
and continued success! I'll be back to check on you next week.
