It has to be more than "losing weight." This REASON for doing what you're doing will be the key ... and your driving force for the rest of your life. Why do you go through the pain, physically and mentally? Why do you sacrifice? Why do you blog? Why do you ..... <br /><br />This reason IS your motivation. When you become emotionally locked-in to it, motivation can't ever leave you again. <br /><br />Also, I want to offer you my time (free of charge) to help you get your personal training "business mindset" going - help create that "You need my services" mentality! <br /><br />Let me know. So glad your post found me. <br />-DayneDayne Gingrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670846587449384876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413074573301364518.post-12229438681874104432012-09-07T12:12:59.788-10:002012-09-07T12:12:59.788-10:00Hi Annie!

This is something I can't get people...Hi Annie! This is something I can't get people to really grasp. I think fitness is so incredibly important, like you also do, for health and self-esteem and personal exploration reasons. <br /><br />However, I think that I only keep about about 10 pounds off by keeping very fit. The rest is completely about eating. <br /><br />I was just reading a book where the author pointed out that burns off a certain amount of calories per day just by being alive. <br /><br />So when a person sees that they burned "250" calories while doing cardio, first of all that estimate is far higher than the truth. Those machines grossly overestimate calorie expenditure. Next, after subtracting the amount of calories required to be alive, the exercise did not burn off very many calories at all! <br /><br />All of us who tried and failed to do zillions of hours of cardio per week to lose weight learned all of this the hard way.<br /><br />Still, fitness is still priceless. And I feel fitness and diet are correlated in other ways. When a fit person loves her body, she feels much less likely to abuse it with junk food. <br /><br />:-) MarionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413074573301364518.post-56038216304656535332012-06-18T02:16:43.555-10:002012-06-18T02:16:43.555-10:00I keep waiting for this to be true!!
