Whatever your goal is, a Spokane weight loss blog about your journey can be a great way to track yourself and help others as well. Losing weight is also and emotional experience and sometimes very private. The anonymity of a blog can be a great outlet for the emotional aspects of eating, exercising and getting fit.

Benefits of Spokane Weight Loss Blog

• Support Network

A good weight loss blog tells a story that interests people; the story of your success. Don’t forge to include the entire story, small failures and small successes can add to the readability of your story. For most people, their support system is often their computer. With a blog, the size of a bloggers support network is only limited by the effort they are willing to put in to build it.

• Accountability

It’s hard enough to be honest with your trainer, the lady on the treadmill next to you, let alone yourself. One place you can be honest is online. Online you can post pictures of your progress and blur out your face. Oh! The anonymity! Force yourself to write about your weight gain, even though nobody would know if you fibbed and wrote that you lost weight this week. Tell the world how you felt when someone snickered at you for your size. Get out there and write about how you slipped up and ate the entire bag of cookies. Take accountability for your decisions and their impact on your weight loss plans. Then take action to make better decisions. This can be tough but rewarding. When you are honest with your readers, you can be honest with yourself.

• Recording Your Journey

Becoming healthy has a lot of benefits. Can jog the stairs up to your third floor apartment now? Are you able to do more push ups? Are you eating less? Did you make a healthy eating decision that you normally would not? Did you discover a healthier recipe for your favorite food? Can you jog for two minutes on the treadmill without stopping? You do not have to perform a battery of tests to count the milestones of your journey. Did you have a bad week with no gym time? You can record this too. All of these add a dynamic aspect to your story and your readers will love it. Add pictures to it for extra flair. The stories you tell can help remind you of how far you have come. A weight loss blog gives you the means to record and review that history when you need it the most.
Success

Motivation, networked support, and the ability to track your results in an open , albeit anonymous, forum can be a path to success for  a Spokane Weight Loss Blog. Combining your efforts with a healthy eating plan, exercise and, most importantly, weekly workout sessions at Physzique can help you achieve your goals faster.

When I decided that I wanted to lose weight, I was unsure where to begin. Are you in the same boat right now? Here are some weight loss tips Spokane to help get you started.

Spokane Weight Loss Tip #1 Drink Water
Stay hydrated, flush toxins and fight bloating with good old fashioned water. There are more benefits to drinking water than I have room to write. How much should you drink? Take your body weight and divide that in two. That is how many ounces you should be drinking every day. Always keep a water bottle with you.

Spokane Weight Loss Tip #2 Sleep
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love this tip. Sleeping is my favorite contribution to my “get healthy” plan. Adequate sleep at night actually keeps you slim. How? While you sleep, your body re-ups its’ supply of serotonin and dopamine. These two feel-good brain chemicals are important to your daily happiness as well as your motivation. Your brain needs them. When you don’t get enough sleep, you don’t get a full supply of these chemicals and you’re grumpy. Instinctively you begin to search for a quick fix. Guess what immediately releases both chemicals in the body? Sugary foods. That’s why when you’re tired you start craving sweets. So sleep, your waist line will help you.

Spokane Weight Loss Tip #3 Stay Busy
Don’t sit at home. This seems silly but if you have time on your hands, you will end up eating that time. Literally. It has been said that people eat for recreation because of emotions and boredom. The quick fix for this is a good hobby. Try swing dancing (my favorite), scrap-booking, join a sports league (I recommend roller derby is you are a female), take the kids to the park or take a job as a production assistant on a movie set (easy …sometimes unpaid job/internship). Stay Busy.

Spokane Weight Loss Tip #4 Simplify Your Eating Plan
Weight loss is a journey, a journey with many temptations and choices. When you have a lot of choices for a meal, it’s a lot easier to slip out of good eating habits and into buffet binges. Help yourself avoid this by eliminating choices at meal times. Give yourself only a couple of options at each meal time. Automate one meal a day, whichever one you have the least time for. Find something healthy; calories already tallied and the portion controlled. Maybe a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread and have it for lunch every day. Every day. Not three times a week. Everyday. As the weeks pass and you see progress, switch out your lunch time sandwich for a salad. The less you think about food, the easier it is to control your appetite. Decreased choices means decreased temptations.

No amount of weight loss tips will be completely effective without an exercise strategy. The above tips can be combined with group training sessions at Physzique to help get you started towards your success.

A Positive Attitude Can Lead To Positive Changes In Spokane

I was browsing through an online magazine the other day and came upon a story that I thought truly illustrated how much our own positive thinking can lead to positive changes here in Spokane.

The story goes like this:

Positive Thought- A Strong Tool Of Success

Once upon a time there was bunch of tiny frogs that arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants.

The race began. Honestly, no one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of tower. You heard statements such as, “They will NEVER make it to the top. Or: Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!”

The tiny frogs began collapsing, one by one, except for those, who in fresh tempo were climbing higher and higher.

The crowd continued to yell, “Its too difficult!!! No one will make it!”

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up, but one continued higher and higher and higher. This one wouldn’t give up!

At the end, everyone else had given up climbing the tower, except for one tiny frog. After a big effort, he was the only one who reached the top! THEN all the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?

A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal. It turned out…. that the winner was deaf!!!!

Ignore Negative Opinions To Achieve Positive Changes In Spokane

We all would like to think that we are above allowing others to influence our daily lives, including our goals and aspirations, whatever they may be. When it comes to getting fit in Spokane, positive changes are the first line of defense.

Here are some great ways to begin to change your thinking:

• Make a list of what you want to achieve and keep a journal of your successes
• Allow for mistakes, if you slip behind, don’t procrastinate or worry, get up and fix it
• Listen to yourself, are you giving yourself thoughts that will hinder your goals?
• Get inspired, read books or watch encouraging stories of people who had similar goals and take inspiration from them.
• Surround yourself with people who will not bring you down, misery loves company and you could get consumed by that.

Don’t allow yourself to believe that the goals you have set to lose weight or get in shape are out of reach. Close your ears to those that want to bring you down, think positive and positive changes will follow.
