The Ultimate Fat Loss Secret: Progression Vs. Perfection

The Ultimate Fat Loss Secret: Progression Vs. Perfection
As a nutrition expert, I am constantly asked, "what should
I eat to lose weight", "what should I eat to get six pack
abs", "what should I eat to lose my love handles."

Here's a quick story, a true story that happened just a
little while ago.

A number of weeks ago I took a break from being a
nutritionist. and I was out of the town with my family on a
nice little mini-vacation.

This was just 3 days, but I still had quite a bit of time
to just sit and think.

I often times I try to think of ways to improve my
training, or improve my business, or how I handle my
schedule each day.

Sometimes I just can't relax one bit until I have it just
so or near perfect in my mind, whatever it was I was trying
to figure out at that moment.

One thought that did occur to me and I want to share it
with you here is:

"As long as I'm improving, that's all I can do."

As long as I'm working toward that final goal of having
things just right - I'm doing my best.

I can't do any more than my best.

I can't force the sand in an hourglass to go any faster by
worrying about if or constantly obsessing with it.

That reminds me of just how nutrition and fitness are. No
matter where you're at right now, as long as you are
improving, you are doing just fine.

The problem comes when you don't do anything and still
expect change.

So please don't obsess with perfection - focus on
improvement! (or progression as suggested in the title of
this article)

After all, any improvement is better than going in reverse.
Think about it this way, even if you were to lose just 1
ounce each week - just 1 ounce (that's certainly easy), in
1 year that's 3.25 pounds.

I know that sounds pitiful, but it's progress. Wouldn't you
rather have that than 0 pounds or perhaps +10 pounds on the
scale.

I hope you work on improving at least 1 habit, or 1 action
this week that will bring at least slight improvement
toward your ultimate fitness goals.

I suggest picking 1 habit at a time and working to improve
just that habit.

Week by week continue to improve on each habit.

Now go out and expect success!
