Very often I see people get motivated to change their lives by adding exercise and refining their diets. But then after a week or two they are already missing workout days and indulging in periodic unhealthy meals or snacks. Within a month they're lucky to see the inside of the gym or their workout room once per week and their diets have gone back to how they were the month before. Within three months they've lost all progress on their fitness plans and are back at step one.Staying with a fitness program is vital in the first few months. After that, it can become easier to continue a long-standing habit. It's simply inertia. A sedentary person, a person "at rest" will tend to stay in that state unless acted upon by an outside force. But, an active person, a person constantly in motion, will tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
The best way to assure you'll stay in motion is to get a coach or a support group to hold you accountable for your fitness progress. It's typically not enough to be accountable to yourself, because it's very easy to make excuses and justify why you skipped your workout or indulged in a bag of cookies. Coaches and support groups will not be so easily convinced. Often the threat of having to explain it to the coach or support group will be enough to motivate one to go workout or to skip the sweet snack.
