S3 Habit 5: Don’t Stop

Important Contest Notes:

1) You must weigh-in by this Friday June 22nd on the scale in your training facility and report that number to your coach. Failure to do so will result in no points being recorded for the entire contest in this category. You will enter this number into your page on Friday, but we will be cross checking starting and ending weights to make sure there are no data entry errors.

2) You must complete all data entry on ActiveNH.com by midnight eastern time. No data or checkmarks can be entered after this time.

No exceptions guys, so please get it done.

Over the last 8 weeks we have been working diligently to establish habits.

Behaviors that over the long term will make a positive change to your fitness, health, and well being.

Smoking is a bad habit that most find very difficult to break.

As coaches nothing would please us more than seeing the S3 Habits become as ingrained and hard to break as nicotine is for a 20 year chain smoker.

Now THAT would be powerful.

So what is your mindset as the end of S3 nears?

Do you have this huge splurge of “forbidden” foods already planned for this weekend?

If so, then you haven’t built a habit, you are merely playing a game.

We must get out of the mentality that food and drink is a reward, because for many if not most of us that way of thinking is destructive to mind, soul and body.

Food is Fuel for the human machine. 

And it can be oh so enjoyable, and pleasurable, and tasty without being destructive.

That part is up to you.

So as we come to the end of Sizzlin’ Summer Slimdown 2012 I want to make sure you know there is S3 Habit 5.

Re-read habits 1, 2, 3, & 4.

And Keep Doing Them!

Make It Happen!
