"WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE "

getting fit ..

~ dieting so you're not hungry or cranky ..

that diet is not for you if you're hungry and cranky ..
" people think that in order to lose weight you have to starve yourself or deprive yourself of food .. it should not be a DIET ,, but an entire change of lifestyle .. if you have an unhealthy regime ,, why would you want to alter that for only a short period of time ,, lose weight ,, than revert back to old habits and put it all back on again ?? you need to adopt a healthy lifestyle that will not leave you feeling hungry or cranky - quite the contrary ,, really !! it'll leave you feeling energetic and good about yourself !! " ... = andrea fonseka ..

~ sticking with an exercise plan ..

set big and small SMART goals ..
"big goals are visionary where you picture how much weight you'd like to lose to reach your ideal weight .. small SMART goals focus on the process of achieving your big goal" ... = dave nuku ,, fitness first Asia regional fitness manager ..

SMART stands for :
- S .. specific : be precise with want you want to achieve .. eg : how much weight you want to lose ..
- M .. measurable : how will you measure your achievement ?? the scales help .. clothing size ?? blood pressure ?? a variety of different measures helps keep motivation high ..
- A .. action-planned : what action needs to be taken ?? keep it small and simple ..
- R .. realistic : keep it real .. set small achievable goals ..
- T .. time bound : lock down your goal by committing to a reasonable time frame ..

~ losing weight ..

it is a slow and often "one step forward and two steps back" process ..
"remember that losing weight is not a perfect science of moving more and eating less .. it can also be dependent on how much water or sleep you are getting ,, how much stress you have in your life and also factors such as your age and sex determine the rate at which you will lose weight .. what you are putting into your mouth determines 70 percent of how you look while the other 30 percent is determined by exercise" ... = kristy curtis ,, personal trainer and fitness author ..

sekian ,, thank you .. = peace no gado-gado .. HAHA !!
