Time to celebrate!  Have a toast to the New You!

Starting a new fitness challenge  can be a slow, frustrating process, which makes it seem like reaching your goal will take forever. 

Let’s face it

While it’s true that eating better is more than half the battle in your journey to weight loss, the downside is that the time between now and the other half of the journey you’ve got some deprivation, boredom, and sacrifice to look forward to  :(  

Here’s the bright side of that…

What if you could celebrate something great every single day as you move toward your goal weight? Remember that you are now seeing your body from a total different perspective.

Key Point: Your body is your most precious possession, and what you put in it can either destroy it or nurture it.

How do you maintain that outlook? 

By recognizing little victories as you encounter them.

What kind of “little victories”?  

Each one of those pounds can make you feel victorious as it melts away.  

Celebrate like crazy when you lose a pound 

• Jump up and down
• Dance around 
• Write it down- dear diary: I lost 2 more pounds this week…YEAH!
• Talk about them with your Facebook friends, twit them, brag, brag, brag

If it feels  like you’ve just accomplished something great…Celebrate!

There are plenty of other little victories you can celebrate, too.  How about celebrating when you’ve stuck to your promise to drink x number of glasses of water a day? 

Here’s my favorite: When I slip into a smaller size of pair of jeans.

How about this: When you start to really enjoy vegetables instead of dreading them? ..OK- that’s a stretch, Ha!

Point is, these “little accomplishments” are actually BIG in significance and they should be celebrated! 

It may seem silly to celebrate in such obvious ways, but who cares?  Make it fun, make it exciting, make yourself feel really good about your daily accomplishments. 

If you don’t pat yourself on the back and cheer yourself on, who else will?

These little celebrations serve as fantastic motivation to keep you moving steadily and quickly toward your goals.

To your health!
