Confucius Say…

“When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.”

– Confucius

The importance of continuing to change things up cannot be taken lightly.  While this applies to most everything in life, it most definitely applies to weight loss. Continue tweaking your food intake and your movement and you WILL reach those goals!  For many of us, cutting a couple of hundred calories a day can make the difference between maintaining and losing.  Sometimes its a food item or two that are sabotaging our efforts.  Maybe (like often happens in our home) you are eating dinner too late.  In this hectic world, we often don’t have a choice, so…maybe we can cut some calories out of dinner.  In terms of moving, try small changes like changing the incline on your treadmill, going backwards on your elliptical, or lift some heavier weights.  The more muscle mass in our bodies, the more calories we burn at rest, so it pays to have plenty of lean muscle, male or female.  Even the smallest of changes can make a difference.  Stand more, sit less…walk more, stand less, run more, walk less…you get the idea.

So, it’s worth repeating….

“When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.”
