Act with a sense of purpose

Although I always counsel my clients that "gradualness" is the key, that doesn't mean that they should not spend their days filled with a sense of purpose - that purpose not necessarily to "lose weight" but rather to "get fit."

In actuality, if you "get fit", the weight loss will take care of itself.

With the advent of spring, it's easier to get fit. In addition to weight training - you need only spend ten minutes a day performing a set of exercises in your garage or wherever - dumbbell curls, leg curls, leg extensions, shoulder raises and so on. Then, walk, or ride a bike or play some kind of sport such as tennis for an hour a day. If time doesn't allow you to do this every day, try at least to do it 3 times a week.

And don't look on this exercise and sport as an onerous chore, but rather that as something that is fun. Get out their and enjoy the movement of your body, the warmth of the sun on your skin, and so on.
