Hi Guys,
The other day I was reading an article about self-control and suggesting that it isn't the reason why so many of us don't meet our goals.
The article unfolded and suggested that the reason why people give in to the cakes in the office or skip their training is that they haven't put their end goal as a priority and the 'Why' they are doing something isn't important enough.

Now when I read the article I could really relate to it. Now I train regularly because I enjoy how it makes me look and feel. When it comes to my diet I enjoy the 'treats' too.........in fact up until recently I have been enjoying them a little too much!
In the past I have started programs with the intention of sticking to them for 12 weeks or so, just to see what the best shape I could get into. However, a few weeks in there was always an event, meal out, night out, trip away that would derail me and I would never be 100% committed to sticking to it.
Now I am on week 4 of my bikini fitness competition prep and I am 100% committed because this time I have an end goal of getting up on stage and showing my hard work off. Week one into my plan I had a night out and a BBQ all in the same weekend. I didn't let my training stop me socialising and I didn't let my socialising interfere with my end goal. I drove and drunk water (which on a night out in Halifax is a real eye opener) and I took my pre prepared meals to the BBQ with me.
Now if I didn't have the competition and I had just decided to start a 12 week plan I know for a fact that I would have been eating the BBQ food and not my own!
I have finally found my why. I am in it to win it, not just make numbers up on stage so that is my reason to stick to it.
I realise that what I am doing is very strict and not everyone will have the same goals as me. However, what if you just started to make a few changes, like saying no to the extra cake in the office, or scheduling your training session by doing this consistently and gradually cutting things out you will be surprised at the changes that come with it........positive changes.
