The Goal

OK, now you have your reason(s) for wanting to make a change, in this case to lose weight, now what? If you are about to begin a journey, it's a good idea to know where you want to end up so you can map out the best course to get to your destination.

Is this going to be simply a weekend trip or will this become a life long journey? Huh? Have you decided to change your life forever or is this just a temporary fix? You see, to permanently lose fat you need to adopt a healthy lifestyle. That's not to say you cannot treat yourself from time to time with things that are not "healthy" but you have to be disciplined and cannot cheat all the time, after all, that's why you're in the shape you are in now.

This is not about some fad diet, there are no shortcuts, tricks, or secrets. To lose fat you must either eat less calories than your body uses on a day to day basis or increase your activity to burn more calories than you consume on a daily basis.


So what is your goal? To lose 20, 30, 50, 100 pounds? To gain 10 or 20 pounds of muscle? To live a healthy life and be in a condition to enjoy the plans God has for you? Take some time to write your goals in your journal.

Have a blessed day!

Proverbs 3:5-6
⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; ⁶ In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. (NKJV)
