Like this L'Oreal advertisement for RevitaLift, for example: "A new lifted look in 1 hour."
Even my beloved In-n-Out Burger appeals to that market of instant gratification by it's name alone!
Hey, I'm right up there with the crowds of people who wish there was a magic pill they could just take and their baby weight/beer belly/whathaveyou would just melt away.
But, we all know it: in reality, it takes hard work, commitment and dedication to achieve real results, real change, real improvement. Bad habits take time to break, new ones need to be formed and it doesn't happen overnight.
That's why, when Papa L and I made the decision to tackle this 60-Day PiYo Challenge, we knew we were ultimately committing to something bigger. This isn't simply sixty days spent working out and trying to eat (at least fairly) cleanly to see how much better we look or feel by the end of it, ooh and ahh over our "fast" results and then cruise right back into our old routines. We've tackled something on a much bigger scale: taking steps to ensure our own health and well-being, those of our friends and family and, most importantly, our own little ones.
I'd like to challenge you to make the same decision. Whether it's sixty days of PiYo, pushing yourself to your limits with Insanity (trust me, I've done it, I know how crazy that one is..), promising to do your best and succeed at P90X, choosing a week and cutting soda from your diet, whatever it is: decide to do it to the best of your abilities, commit to follow through with it (even it you know you'll need motivation and support to maintain that commitment - that's what I'm here for!), and you will succeed.
Once this baby comes I definitely want to get back into better shape!
ReplyDeleteI'd highly recommend PiYo as a great way to start on that, Fiona!! I'll send you a message later, if you'd like!
