BEATHEBELLY Daily Tip - Make or Break - How's it Going?

It is said that it takes 21 days to break a habit, probably it takes the same amount of time to gain a new habit.


So at 21 days after the launch of BEATTHEBELLY its time to review your resolve.

If you signed up and decided to lose a stone by Christmas, how is it going?

Your initial resolve may have faded or been strengthened; you may have started exercising and become injured through excessive enthusiasm; you may have lost alot of weight through a strict diet then lost enthusiasm for a life of boring food!

Now is the time to evaluate your effort and strengthen your resolve; think about asknig for support and neutralise any barriers to success.

Please comment below about what has worked, what has not; what advice has been helpful or useless, and any tips you have for other members of the BEATTHEBELLY community to encourage them on to a healthier life.

more tips to come this week for encouragement!

  1. Started with optimism - but been a bit more difficult in the past week to 10 days - challenge of work and having extra responsibility (acting up for my boss while on leave)...busy enough before this!

    For me I know that my weakness is stress and tiredness - food is my comfort in these times - midnight snacking, "treats" in the car on the way home late from work (knowing evening meal waiting at home)

    I travel 1.5 hrs to work each way (so cycling doesn't work around the M25 - although it might be quicker)...I'm trying to work our how I can get more exercise without getting up at stupid o'clock...but exercising in the evening doesn't work well for me as I end up not sleeping well.

    So any tips directed at some of this would be well received. But thanks for those already posted...will be sticking with it...need to make a change (if not just for me - for the whole family)

  2. Colin thanks for your feedback - perhaps you can try healthy swaps for your snacks to keep your energy levels up without eating the wrong thing.

    If you start exercising you will feel more tired for the first 2-3 weeks as your body gets used to increased levels of activity; after that time your sleep will tend to be more refreshing and you will have more energy so stick with it!

    perhaps you might have a look at the NHS CHOICES website and look at healthy food swaps. remember to stay hydrated aswell.

    Even if you can be active at the weekends with your family and active at work (move around, stand up, take stairs) you will be kick starting the body more.

    if you want more advice on the type of exercise feel free to post a comment back here. Keep up the good work!
