It is very satisfying to begin seeing results, many people get discouraged after a few days of a new diet and excersise plan and consequently not obtaining the desired results. I am a strong believer that patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to healthy habits and life style changes. The first 4 weeks are the hardest but being patient can help us pass those four weeks and make new habits a permanent change in our life. I have been travelling a lot in the past weeks and this makes it more difficult for me to make healthy choices and keep track of my calorie intake, but I have learned that just because I go out to eat, it does not mean that I must have a sugary drink, a fattening appetizer, a main course and a dessert...and not to mention the bread and butter before dinner with a salad and a high caloric dressing...
Instead, I have taken advantage of the fact that I'm not cooking and that I can request anything from the menus. I have remained firmed and faithful to my veggies, and lean proteins. No bread, no sugars...excercising while on the road can be difficult, but eating healthy has kept me from gaining weight. In fact, today I slipped into a size 6 white shorts that I hadn't wore in over 2 years; that made me feel very happy! So keep up the good work and do not get discouraged, remember to indulged yourself one meal a week of anything that you crave for and behind your healthy eating the following day.
