One of the hardest aspects of getting yourself into shape, is maintaining the motivation you need to achieve your weight loss goals. Just about anyone will lose some of their enthusiasm, a month or so into a weight loss program. I have learned a few things that keep me motivated and dedicated to achieving my goals. They have helped me tremendously and I think they will help you as well.Here a just a few of the many things I do to motivate myself.Weigh yourself once a week:I weigh myself at least a few times a week. In the beginning of your program once is plenty because you don’t want to discourage yourself. The reason I weigh myself once a week is because it can be easy to look in the mirror and justify, in your head, that you aren’t gaining any weight. If you look at a scale every week, you know for sure whether you need to make changes or not.Keep a picture of the heavier version of yourself in plain sight:I have a picture of me at my son’s baptism next to m...

You have probably heard the saying that you should not lose more than 1-2 pounds a week. But for most people who want to lose weight quicker, it may seem as slow progress. If you train real hard and count your calories than you should lose more than 2 pounds a week, without damaging your health or losing muscle? Every single day you hear rapid weight loss stories. So where does the 2 pounds a week rule even come from and can you lose more than 2 pounds a week safely?Well, losing 1-2 ponds a week is no rule, it is more a general recommendation. It is really based on average results and it is a good target to go for. And the bigger you are the more you can lose safely. If you weighed 300 lbs, that would be 3 lbs per week. Losing "weight" is not a very accurate and it can be even meaningless. What matters is your body composition; the fat to muscle ratio, as well as water weight. People can lose a lot of weight in a few weeks by using some extreme induction program or a lemon juice and water fast. B...

This seems to be the question that so many people are asking at this time of the year. On December 31st you set goals and intentions for a new year-- to lose weight, eat healthy, quit smoking, reduce stress, to work out more, create success, or a myriad of other well intended resolutions. Then about half way through January the best of intentions start to unravel and there you are right back in our old habits once again. Well don't be so hard on yourself, there is often years of reinforcement behind that habit or behavior that have been ingrained in your unconscious mind. No, you are not lazy or lacking motivation. In fact, we are all motivated either toward something or away from it. For instance, if someone "procrastinates" about doing the dishes, laundry, working out, or some other task, isn't it possible that they simply don't like to do this job? Thus, they are not lazy but merely motivated away from it. As for the other habits that are so often the subject of resolutions includin...

Incorrect starting point Almost everywhere you turn there seems to be another rewards based incentive program to motivate people. This approach can work short term only for people who don't like their work. But with the time these people will only demand larger rewards to gain the same satisfaction. And for people who actually enjoy their work, their performance and motivation will most likely decrease short and long term since they are the ones who don't require external factors to do what they enjoy. I have found that the best way to ensure people are at their best is to align their abilities (what they are able to do if motivated) and their interests. The intersection is where people will thrive.The problems with motivational programsEach person is unique and has different needs. Most motivational programs assume that all people are motivated by the same factors. This is simply not true. Why in many motivational programs there are different winners and losers? Whether i...

The new realities of this economy have challenged business executives at all levels. Uncertainties about the economic recovery, increasing government involvement, rising health care costs, and the motivation of the workforce have placed management in a complicated and tenuous situation. While the challenges seem endless, one of the biggest issues executives face is how to improve performance as well as keep the workforce engaged and maintain a high level of productivity. A 2010 survey conducted by the Conference Board showed only 45 percent of Americans are satisfied with their work. This is the lowest level ever recorded by the Conference Board in more than 22 years of research. Those that fail to improve job satisfaction are at risk of losing their top talented people to the competition. Losing good employees is bad enough, but businesses are also seeing a growing percentage of unhappy employees staying just for a paycheck. As a result, many organizations are hamstrung with employees who ...
