The image ( left ) is of Ali Vincent, the all inspiring winner of the Biggest Loser USA 2008 series, and if you watched the show, you will know how much focus, visualisation and determination she showed in reaching her goal, which was to become the first female Biggest Loser.
The biggest shock about working online from home is when you notice the Pedometer that used to register a regular 5000 steps or more a day, spent commuting, up and down hills and steps to my place of work, then spending most of my day walking around my place of work now struggles to register anywhere near half that amount, and that's if you have a handy treadmill or walk the dog every day.
The online lifestyle that beckons time and money freedom to spend more leisure time with your family and loved ones comes with a price tag ....... the journey to reach that point means hours spent in front of a computer and that in itself is not a healthy pastime.
So what is the best way to combat this side effect? Join a gym! Let's face it, the commute time you save on having a work from home office MUST be compensated by regular visits to the gym. It not only forces a necessary break away from the computer screen, but it regenerates the mind and spirit for the next day.
It also allows for a conversation subject that does not involve the latest Traffic Strategies and advert conversion rate statistics.
I'm not alone in in acknowledging the fact that computers have added to the sedentary lifestyle most of us now lead, which apart from the Nintendo Wii have gradually brought our normal fat burning capabilities to lower than even the required level of being active and therefore fit.
I absolutely love and recommend Holly Rigsby Blog
For great advice, nutritional information and looking toned, healthy and gorgeous, I would recommend her book to anyone, not only is it is one of the best written books on nutrition I have ever read, but it also incorporates Goal Setting brilliantly as part of finding your reason WHY, which a key factor to success.
By incorporating a new challenge of a healthy fit body in your life, you will ultimately experience the need to overcome hurdles, find motivating factors to keep you on track, deal with life's little hurdles and swap unhealthy foods for healthier choices to achieve your goal.
It is a good barometer of how committed you are to finding and reaching success in other areas of your life, if you find yourself reaching for the packet of biscuits in week one, and missing gym sessions frequently with a number of excuses, acknowledge that you need to spend more time and education on developing your mindset, your personal goals and your WHY factor.
