The first way that I can tell if I have gained a few pounds is when I notice my pants are fitting a little tighter around the waist. If this happens once I may be able to blame the dryer for shrinking the pants – if it happens with a few pairs of pants the only person I can blame is myself!
To make sure the weight does not spiral downhill I need to change 2 things: My eating habits and my exercising habits. I believe in taking small steps to change those habits. If someone told me I had to walk 30 minutes every day I would not be too excited about that. However, if someone asked me if I could walk 10 minutes 3 days a week I would say yes. That is a perfect example of how to start small. What other ways can you think of where you can start to make small changes?
Let us apply the starting small principal to eating habits. We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, I may not have time to eat it every day. What are some small ways to start eating breakfast?
Grab a variety of fruits like apples, oranges, and bananas that you can grab as you are headed out the door.
Bring cereal and milk to work and eat them at your desk.
Mix up an Eiro Lean shake filled with protein, vitamins, and fiber.
Wake up 10 minutes early to allow time for toast.
One way to help you to make those small changes is to set a goal. A goal should be SMART.
S : Specific
M : Measurable
A : Achievable
R : Realistic
T : Timetable
Let us look at the goal of eating breakfast and apply the SMART principle. If the goal is specific you want to write as much detail into the goal as you can. A specific goal will say, “I want to bring one piece of fruit to work for 3 out of the 5 work days. I will help reach my goal by going to the grocery store on Sunday and buying 3 pieces of fruit.” To make the goal specific I said exactly how I would reach my goal, and I set a number of days that I would work on my goal. By stating the number of days I make my goal Measurable. I know that I have to bring fruit with me on 3 out of the 5 work days. I also said that I would bring fruit 3 out of the days because it was something I could Achieve. I know that if I said I would do it all 5 of the work days I might not be able to reach my goal. Yes, saying that I would do it all 5 days sounds like a great plan but I know it is something that might not be Realistic.
To finish off the goal let us add a Timetable to it : “I want to bring one piece of fruit to work for 3 out of the 5 days. I will help reach my goal by going to the grocery store on Sunday and buying 3 pieces of fruit. I will work on my goal for one month.” My adding a time that I will reach my goal, I know I have one month to work on it.
These small changes will start to become habit and help you to move towards being a healthier you.
