After the detox, I found it hard to keep up
not being so strict any more and I found that I was slacking in terms of
exercise and eating. I remembered that a while back (years) that I had
downloaded the Coach to 5Km podcast from iTunes and decided to go on a bit of a
browse to see if there was something there that would keep me motivated to not lie
on the couch as much.
After searching for about an hour I was
downloaded quite a lot of things, such as music for running to keep me motivate
while on the treadmill (I am not a runner but it’s good to walk to funky beats
to make you walk that additional Km).
I also found a very interesting and
educational podcast called Cut the Fat. It talks about how to lose fat from
your body instead of weight and also how to understand your body in doing this
change.
It was quite interesting and the two
speakers on the podcasts are professionals (one is a female body builder and
the other a trained nutritionist). It’s very informative and I encourage you to
download it and listen to while exercising.
I have also been using an Australian
government funded program called Swap It which emphasizes on not eliminating
all things bad at once but simply swapping it for a healthier alternative. For
example, instead of having a large pasta swap it for a smaller portion and add
a serve of veggies. The program can be downloaded onto your iPhone and you then
just simply select what you want to swap and add them to your reminder list at
a particular time slot. The only flaw with this program is that you can easily
ignore the reminders and continue with your bad habits but the program does
keep you in check with a weekly progress of how you did at swapping your normal
routine for a healthier routine.
If you have ways to keep yourself motivated
throughout your weightloss journey I would love to hear from them.
