Resume Gym Quotes

Take a break, resume refreshed.

People often starve themselves in order to lose weight. That’s a no-go! The body is very resourceful, and it will slow down its metabolic rate in order to compensate for the lack of calories. It tries to hold onto every calorie you consume, since it is unsure when it will be fed again. Then, once you resume your normal caloric intake, your metabolic rate remains slowed down. This is why people who try restrictive diets usually gain their original weight back and often some more too. The good news is that if you want to lose weight, you should never be hungry. A well balanced diet consisting of small frequent meals (every 2.5 – 3.5 hours) is the key to long term success.

The reality is that our excuses, our justifications for not doing something, whether it’s returning that phone call, writing that email, confronting that person, getting to the gym, dropping off your resume, auditioning for that part, telling a dear friend you have a crush on them, or whatever else you’ve been putting off for the past day, week, or years keeps us exactly where we are and prevents us from getting to where we want to be. It’s like we’re sitting in our car, but refusing to drive to wherever it is we want to go. In this case, the idleness prevents us from reaching our potential and that is the very real and expensive cost of procrastination.
