Unless you want to experience some nasty cravings, don’t deprive your body of pleasure. The more you tell yourself you can’t have a food, the more you’re going to want it. As long as you’re making positive choices 80-90% of the time, don’t sweat the occasional indulgence.
除非你愿意被欲望折磨,否则别自找罪受。你越告诉自己不能吃什么,就会变得越想吃那东西。只要你大部分时候能做出正确选择,偶尔开荤开戒也没什么。
Keeping a written record of your training progress will help you sustain an “I CAN do this” attitude. All you need is a notebook and a pen. For every workout, record what exercises you do, the number of repetitions performed, and how much weight you used if applicable. Your goal? Do better next time. Improving your best performance on a regular basis offers positive feedback that will encourage you to keep going.
记录下锻炼进度有助于保持“我能行”的心态。你只要准备笔纸,每次记下自己做了哪些运动、做了多少次以及当时的体重。至于目标,那就是争取下次做得更好。按部就班提高最佳表现可以创造积极反馈,进而鼓励你继续努力。
It can be hard to stay motivated when you feel alone. The good news? You’re not alone: far from it. Post a status on Facebook asking your friends if anybody would like to be your gym or accountability buddy. If you know a co-worker who shares your goal, try to coordinate your lunch time and go out together so you’ll be more likely to make positive decisions. Join a support group of like-minded folks on Facebook, LinkedIn, or elsewhere on the internet. Strength in numbers is powerful, so use it to your advantage.
只身一人很难保持充满动力。好在你并非单枪匹马:你可以在Facebook上邀请好友搭伴一起运动。如果有同事恰好跟你一样,可以趁午餐时间互相沟通,从而做出积极决定。你也可以在Facebook、LinkedIn或其他网站上加入相关小组。团结就是力量,好好利用起来吧。
Do you want to lose fat so you’ll feel more confident and sexy in your body than ever before?
你想要减肥,是因为你觉得减肥后会更自信迷人吗?
Do you want to be healthy so you’ll have increased clarity, energy, and focus that would carry over into every single aspect of your life?
你想要健康,这样你会更加精力充沛并清晰专注,然后过好生活的点点滴滴吗?
Whether you’re getting in shape because you want to live longer, be a good example, boost your energy, feel confident, have an excuse to buy hot new clothes, or increase your likelihood of getting laid (hey, I’m not here to judge) is up to you. Forget about any preconceived notions and be true to yourself.
不管你健身是为了活得更久、树立榜样、提高活力、增加自信、买漂亮衣服,还是单纯为了变得性感,都没问题。别去管那些先入为主的想法,真实做你自己吧。
The more specific you can make your goal,
制定的计划越详细,
