We have been there time and time again where we want to lose weight. We go to the gym and run on treadmills, elliptical and ride bikes. However, the weight stays the same and so we get frustrated and give up on the whole diet. Then we just curse at our selves and wish that we were skinnier, then we decided that we need to go on a diet and then the whole process just repeats its self. There are weight loss supplements and diet plans for those with enough money. What about us who have a budget and a family to take care of. Here are a couple ideas that we miss out on every time we work out or try to diet.
Stress
This seems like a simple one but it can make all the world of difference. If we stress out too much about going to the gym, working out or counting our calories then we cause our bodies to store all that unwanted fat and then we do not see the success that we would want to. If this is your case try to lower the stress in your life (which is impossible sometimes.) If you need to then stop calorie counting if it is causing you to stress out to much.
Sugar
This one is pretty obvious and we read it in just about every diet article or blog that we see. However, if we do not account for how much sugar we are taking in a normal diet then you wont shed those unwanted pounds. Just look how many cups of sugar is in a normal bottle of soda or a bowl of cereal. The grams and cups of sugar add up fast, so cut back on all the tasty candies and soda and you should see a good difference in your diet plan.
Dont Over Do It
A lot of people lose patients and motivation after a week of dieting. This is because they go to the gym or go running for a hour or so after months of nothing at all. This makes them sore the next morning and then they lose motivation to work out and go to the gym. Take it easy... especially if you have not been to the gym in a long time. You dont have to go crazy your first week back. Just get into a groove and learn how to enjoy it
Remember to relax once in a while while your working out and trying to lose weight. There is nothing more enjoyable then sitting in a sauna, steam room or hot tub at the gym and just taking it easy. Losing weight is easy but with these steps it will make it easy. You can visit the http://dailypencil.com for some great workout ideas and stories! Written by Russell Cragun
