It’s Time To Stop Letting Your Health Slide

It’s time to stop letting your health slide. Your health is one of the most essential things in your life, and the more you let it go, the worse it will get. You might not notice anything right now, and you might even be one of those people where it seems nothing is going wrong, but this won’t last. Eventually, something will happen to your health, and you will regret not taking better care of yourself. So, start now because now is better than later.

Stop letting your health slide

Make A Plan

The first thing we will suggest is that you make a plan. Making a plan is the first step to solving the problem you are having with your health. You need to have a solid understanding of your physical and mental health, noting the areas you feel you need to work on the most. This is where you have got to get super honest with yourself, even though you’re probably not going to want to. 

Think about the kinds of changes you will need to make, and then work out a plan to implement them. This will include things such as changing your diet to make it more balanced, exercising more regularly, and so much more.

Ask For Help

You must be willing to reach out your hand and ask for help if you know that you need it. For example, hiring a personal trainer is a good idea if you need help reaching your fitness goals. Many people have personal trainers without shame or embarrassment, so why is this not the same for those with mental health issues? You should be able to look at the services of a professional like the ones found on davidtzall.com without judgment. There is nothing wrong with asking for help on your health journey; you need to realize that sooner rather than later.

Commit

The final thing we will mention here is that you need to commit yourself. You won’t succeed if you are not committed to seeing the results you are looking for. There will be times when you want to give up, and we know it’s hard to fight that feeling, but we know you can do it. This is not to say that you can’t enjoy a day off from healthy eating or exercising because you can; it’s just more like taking a break rather than packing it in.

When we say that you can’t afford to let your health slide, we mean it. You’ve got to stop assuming that it doesn’t matter what you do now because you can fix it later; that’s not how your health works. It would help if you were your healthiest self now and always, to the best of your ability. Nobody said that it was going to be easy, but it is going to be worth it.

The great things about Fitbloggin 2016

My weekend was spent at blogging and social media conference, Fitbloggin, in Indianapolis.  I attended this conference two years ago in Savannah and was hooked.  This year I was invited back to the conference to speak about the highs and lows of weight loss.  Although I was speaking, I attended the conference to learn new things, to grow as a blogger and just become an overall better person.   Pre-conference excursions.  The early bird conference attendees could attend an outing to Lifetime Fitness.  My plane landed a bit late so I missed the facility tour but I still got to…

Meeting Dean Karnazes pushes me to set a good example for health.

I didn’t know that when I was searching for a charity for the Chicago Marathon I would find the cause that would change my entire attitude. I had no plans to run Chicago and to be honest I had no desire to ever run this race. But after a rough couple of months and a lot of deep thinking, I decided that I needed to run Chicago to make a statement to myself. I needed to show myself that I had changed, that I’ve grown and I’m no longer afraid to be united or stand alone. And then I found…

My mom’s breast cancer is a moment that changed me

This past weekend I participated in the Gift of Life Color Rush 5k in celebration of my mother who was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2012. It’s not really something I talked about too much because it was hard and difficult. Also, the fact that my mom has cancer wasn’t something we wanted floating around time. There was only one thing that mattered and that she was getting the best treatment. Spoiler alert: my mom is cancer free! It’s a blessing. After spending some time with my mom, I realized I was the reason she got herself checked because…

Exercising is the LEAST offensive thing I’ve done to my body

A study by the American College of Cardiology came out suggesting the amount I run will increase my chance of death but it’s at the same rate of people who sit on the couch. The National guideline suggests 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise. For me, this isn’t a big deal. Teaching two of my classes is 90 minutes and we all know I work out more than that. I haven’t even made a dent into the 150 minutes with running. But even if I wasn’t running, would more than 150 mins of exercising be harmful to my health?…
