During my years as a pro-athlete, working out regularly and being in top shape was a given. These days, I feel an incredible sense of achievement whenever I complete an ordinary 60-minute workout. Sure, I use to push and pull over 15 tons of iron in a single session, but now I'm beside myself with joy when I break the ton or two.
Aiming to stay at the gym 60 minutes but can only stay 30 minutes? Celebrate anyway, because you're on your way. You can give yourself little rewards here and there — as long as it's not junk food. Instead, splurge on a smoothie or a low-fat yogurt.
Every 6 weeks of success for sticking to your training routine, celebrate big time by treating yourself for a big night out, dinner and popcorns at the movies. You will be able to have a cheat day on a weekly basis once you have reached your optimum weight and body composition.
Remember that taking care of yourself inwardly and outwardly is crucial to a life in balance; it will affect positively everything in all areas of your life. The opposite is also true.
