Windowsill Herb Garden: a good habit to adopt
If you’re considering embarking on a rapid weight loss programme, I’d advise viewing such an experiment as a learning process – a step towards adopting good habits and healthy attitudes long-term.
Focus on the short-term goal of reducing body fat, but keep in mind how you can apply what you’re learning (about exercise, about nutrition, about yourself) to a long-term solution, that will keep you happy.
I relish the challenge of working with clients on our rapid weight loss programme. Making small, significant changes to eating habits and learning how to exercise, in order to maximise weight loss and improve posture and fitness, is usually a groundbreaking experience. Even from the perspective of ‘trainer’ – arguably the person on the periphery – it’s exciting to be involved. A fundamental process of change is happening in someone’s life, right before your eyes.
Keeping my personal training clients focussed is paramount. I offer a few logistical tips for encouragement and weight loss success:
- Don’t wait for four ‘clear’ weeks to open up in your diary, in order to start your weight loss programme. You will suddenly find that a long lost aunt’s birthday throws off your entire plan.
- Mark the end date of your weight loss programme in your diary and cross out the days you complete, to foster a sense of achievement, purposefully moving towards your goal.
- Plan a reward (not food-related) for the completion of your weight loss programme and put it in your calendar as an appointment: a shopping trip to Marylebone, an exhibition at the British Museum, or a West End show.
