Getting Ultimate Spokane Fitness Results

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

I am like most people when it comes to getting ultimate Spokane fitness results, wanting to be in great shape but never quite achieving lasting results. I have tried working out and dieting but it didn’t last.

I have lost weight and felt and looked great only to put the weight back on again. Also there seems to be this barrier I reach that I just can’t seem to break through when it comes to my weight loss.  It has seemed like a never ending roller coaster dealing with my weight.

ultimate-spokane-fitnessThe end of winter/beginning of spring seems to be the time of year that I get motivated to try to achieve ultimate Spokane fitness, usually about the end of February.

I think it has to do with all the eating during the holidays and the immobile lifestyle I tend to lead in the cold Spokane winters. Every winter I tell myself that I’m going to go snowshoeing or some other winter activity every weekend. Ya, it doesn’t happen.  Life always seems to get in the way. I keep putting it off, saying “I’ll go next weekend”.

Honestly, I am really just being lazy and undisciplined.

By the end of January or beginning of February I am beginning to go stir crazy. I start noticing that I am getting winded going up the one flight of stairs to my office and my clothes fit a bit more snug that they did last September.

By the end of February I’ve usually had enough and I’m ready to get in shape again. So by the end of March I’ve usually begun some sort of work out or diet trying to achieve ultimate Spokane fitness.

I start out the new program with gusto and begin seeing some weight loss. I start feeling better, more fit. Then it happens, I’m not sure which one happens first but 2 major things occur after about 2-4 months:

 

  • My weight loss plateaus
  • I get board with my routine

You don’t have to be a genius to see the problem with this “chicken or the egg?” issue. I get discouraged when I quit seeing results. Then I start feeling that the routine is not really working so I allow life to get in the way and begin making excuses. Then of course I stop losing weight and I’m back where I was before.

STOP! I’m Dizzy. Time to Find Ultimate Spokane Fitness.

I suppose it doesn’t really matter which one comes first. The answer is to address each of these individually I guess. I also need to develop good self discipline to get off this cycle and past this barrier.

I need to change how I look at Spokane fitness. I’ve been looking at this as a weight loss issue; that the goal is to be a specific weight. What has totally eluded me is that this is NOT about weight loss, it is about health! It is about being fit, healthy and feeling good.

So this year I found myself at Phyzique Personal Fitness with owner & ultimate personal fitness trainer, Zach Hunt. I started his semi-private or small group sessions a couple of months ago and I love them.

At first, I didn’t know what to think of the small group idea because I have always been shy about working out in front of other people. However at the first session I realized that there’s nothing to be self conscious about. I really like having a couple other people to talk with and relate to.

Zach is tough.  He totally handed me my butt at the first class and continues to keep me on my toes both figuratively and literally. His routines are anything but routine. I have found something that I am not getting board with. Strike issue #2!

I am seeing real results, which keeps me from getting discouraged.  Strike issue #1.  While I have not lost a tremendous amount of weight I have lost inches. Also I can not only see but I feel the changes in my body. I feel stronger and leaner.

Thanks to ultimate personal fitness trainer, Zach Hunt at Phyzique Personal Fitness, I am getting ultimate Spokane fitness results.

Weight loss Spokane Wa: Baby Steps

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

Being fat is no fun, and it’s not healthy either. Getting fit can seem like climbing Mt. Everest. Instead of working toward any weight loss Spokane Wa plan, we procrastinate and wish. Well, the best way to get our wish is to start is by taking baby steps. If we try to climb the mountain all at once, we will fail. A few little changes that add up is the better way to get in shape.

Start by choosing TODAY as the day you will start. If we find ourselves making excuses, we may need to give ourselves a little pep talk and ask, “If not today, then when?” Make a plan, and set realistic goals. Several little goals are helpful. These baby steps soon add up to the final end-goal. Write them down; so that you can visually see the steps you will take to your weight loss in Spokane Wa.

Simple changes add up to big results in time. If we expect to lose 20 pounds in a week then we will fail. Instead try keeping a food journal for a week. At the end of the week, look at the foods eaten and add up the approximate calories consumed per day. One change, such as removing the soda pop from our Spokane Wa diet will result in significant weight loss.

Other baby step ideas to weight loss Spokane Wa:

· change milk from whole to 1%

· reduce the latte to only once a week

· park at the back of the parking lot

· drink more water (8-10 glasses a day)

· take a walk on our lunch break or after dinner

· say no to second helpings

· eat 6 smaller meals instead of 3 large/day

All of these can add up to big results over a few months time. They don’t have to happen all at once, but rather one at a time. This will make that Mt. Everest look more like Mt. Spokane! Just those few simple steps could easily add up to 20 pounds lost in 6-12 months.

When you are really tired of being out of shape and are willing to make the ultimate commitment to your Spokane Wa weight loss, go here. Getting fit is a lifetime goal, not just a temporary exercise plan. Zach Hunt at Physzique in Liberty Lake is a perfect fitness coach to help in the fat loss program. He is a trained professional that offers a well rounded system to the weight loss Spokane Wa that we are ready to attain. His method is tried and tested.

Baby steps soon turn into leaps. But we can’t get ahead of ourselves, or let that overwhelming feeling consume us. When we look at the little picture of fitting into even one size smaller than we wear now, that feels attainable and IT IS! Weight loss Spokane Wa will happen sooner than we think, just by taking that first baby step, today.

Moderation the key to Spokane Weight Loss

Monday, June 16th, 2008

No you don’t have to be perfect to lose weight in Spokane, you just have to be better than you have been.

If that means going from 2 Big Macs for lunch to just 1, then that’s improvement. You’ll probably lose weight from just doing that alone. Or cutting from 3 sodas a day to just 1 or 2. Also limiting the amount of starchy / sugary carbs and replacing them with wonderful fruits and veggies will also help you gain grounds on battle weight loss.

In the end losing weight is super simple. It may be some work and a challenge, but the concept is simple. Workout and eat right and you’ll be sure to make progress.
