Are you ready to transform your life and get MDFIT?

Getting FIT is a challenge for most of us. It takes dedication, a willingness to change old habits and the affirmative belief that you can be fit. While I hate to use the word “work” when relating to physical fitness, I understand that it feels like work to most people. So perhaps viewing your fitness program as a side job may not be so far off! It might just be the only part-time job that pays benefits! By becoming MDFit you’ll gain increased energy, a better mood, and improved appearance…just to name a few things. Here are some questions to help assess whether YOU are ready to transform your health.

Are you willing to….

1. CHANGE YOUR EATING HABITS by eating out less and cooking healthy meals at home to include plenty of vegetables and fruits, whole grains, fish, low-fat dairy products and drinking plenty of water daily?
2. SCHEDULE REGULAR EXERCISE minimally for 150 minutes each week? This is vital to your overall wellness to include some form of physical exercise in your daily routine. Doing so will help you maintain your fitness goal.
3. BE PATIENT? As the saying goes “good things take time” remember that losing weight and maintaining a fitness program is a lifelong process. Reflecting on the immediate benefits like the ones mentioned above will surely compliment your weight loss and improved muscle tone that will be taking place as you progress through your fitness program.
4. HANDLE LIFE'S LEMONS? We all face distractions in our lives that can sabotage our efforts ~ if we let them! Eating healthy and exercising regularly will help you get a handle on life’s challenges.
5. FORGIVE YOURSELF? So you didn’t workout today or you ate more than your share of the cake. Forgive and get back on track. We all need our share of forgiveness every now and again. It is only when we forget what our objective is that we fall off track.
6. STAY FOCUSED on the "why" behind your fitness goal? Reflecting on WHY you want to be healthy will serve as a constant reminder. Place pictures or quotes that represent your motivational goal where you will see them often. I want to feel better, I want to look better, etc.
7. BE REALISTIC WITH YOUR GOALS? Don’t expect six pack abs or to have lost an extreme amount of weight in two weeks. It is best to shoot for one to two pounds of weight loss per week. Then after sticking with a fitness program for 4-6 weeks, the increased muscle definition will become more noticeable. 
8. SHARE YOUR VICTORIES with others? Spread the word about what you are trying to achieve. Maybe enlist a workout buddy. Teaming up with another individual might just be the support that you or another needs to forge ahead.
9. REWARD YOURSELF? Recognize your achievements. Taking control of your wellness is commendable and deserves a pat on the back... or a new purse, shoes, watch... easy now.
10. COMMIT FOR A LIFETIME? That’s what wellness is about. Not extreme workouts or fads that come and go. It’s a sustainable way of life that includes a program that supports your fitness and nutritional goals.
