Here are more strategies to help you to stay motivated:
Keep records - Tracking exercise sessions and how you are feeling physically and emotionally, in addition to periodic physical assessments, can help you see progress towards your goals.
Learn - Take any opportunity to educate yourself about topics such as nutrition, proper form, warm up, and cool down.
Focus on benefits - Studies show that 70% of our self-talk is negative. Exercise will produce better health, higher energy and self esteem, and improved sleep, concentration, and ability to handle stress. While you may not see all of these benefits immediately, it will get easier over time. Frequently reminding yourself of these benefits is essential for overcoming negative self-talk.

HOW TO WIN THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE AT YOUR DESK - Part 2
Continued from 1/7/13 post . . .
Here are more tips for attaining and maintaining a healthy body weight when you sit at a desk:
Move it - Even brief bouts of exercise are helpful, so move whenever you can. If possible, try walking somewhere to eat your lunch, walking to coworkers' desks to communicate with them, and parking your car as far as you can from the building entrance. Also, take the stairs instead of the elevator and place your waste basket some distance from your desk so you'll have to move to throw away garbage.
Exercise during rush hour - Instead of sitting in traffic, go to a gym near your office and drive home after rush hour -- you'll probably get home at about the same time. Be sure to treat your exercise sessions like any other appointment by putting them on your calendar.
Get support - Share healthy lunches, exercise breaks, and encouragement throughout the day with co-workers.
Use technology - Explore the many online resources, Apps, and other tools available to help you in your quest towards healthier living!
