You know it's easy to get side tracked when facing an obstacle. So, it's important to identify potential obstacles in advance to make sure that you’re prepared for them. Today I am going to share 3 potential obstacles that I have identified for my fitness mission. I will also share how I will overcome these challenges
Obstacle # 1 Time
Lack of time is probably a common hurdle most people face. I have used the “I don’t have time” excuse many times in the past. Just like most first time entrepreneurs I have a day job that dictates my schedule. And just like you I have various other commitments that leave very little room to exercise.
You see, to overcome this challenge I map out my training schedule weekly. And I do that by going through my schedule for the entire week and picking times that work best on each day. So a typical schedule would be something like on Monday, Wednesday, & Thursday I workout right after work and on Tuesday, Saturday,& Sunday I workout an hour after I wake up.
Since I don’t have time to cook, I make sure that my kitchen is stocked with items needed for my nutrition strategy. And as you might remember my nutrition strategy involves literally no cooking – maybe a little bit.
Obstacle # 2 Nutrition
I love eating different kinds of food so it’ll be hard sticking to my nutrition strategy. Good news is that the strategy will evolve as we go along, so I will get to eat all sorts of food.
To overcome this obstacle I had to overhaul my kitchen and get rid of all junk food and only have items that I need as per my nutrition strategy. Self-control does play a role but it's also important to avoid situations where “bad food” is easily accessible. I will still be able to eat out but in a very limited fashion.
Obstacle # 3 Patience
This is a bit of an odd one but let me explain. Just like most people I like to get results fast and when I don’t, it frustrates me and I give up.
This is why I set a target date. It's important to set a realistic target date because this way you won’t give up halfway through and throw away all the progress. I could have set a target to lose 36lbs in 2 months but that just wouldn’t help.
So there you have it. These are the 3 obstacles I identified but there could be more. I’ll be sure to share them as well. Have a wonderful week, and make sure you check out my next video.
