Secrets to staying in good shape!

Secrets to staying in top shape in your mid-30s or 40's or 50's  and look like someone half your age,"

Here are the 5 C's

 1. Consistency: Everything consistently repeated becomes permanent, good or ...bad, whether I like it or not. I've learned to be an "All-In" woman; fickle dabbling kills adaptation and progress, and causes backslide. Avoid exceptions. And immediately get back in track when they hiccup.

2. Compassion: Obese and riddled with injuries and illnesses, I know where I come from and how patient I must be. Recovery is where ALL progress happens. Slow and steady wins the race. Baby steps progress fastest.

3. Conviction: Nothing works if I don't. Almost anything works if I do. Challenges MUST come when changing patterns, so I accept surprises and mistakes; learn from them; and keep going.

4. Completeness: it's not possible to be committed in one aspect of my life (like exercise) and wishy-washy milquetoast in another (like nutrition). Everything works together so I work everything together.

5. Courage: It comes before confidence. You won't believe something works until after you dutifully apply it over time. You may lack faith sometimes. Do it anyway. Be brave and you'll discover yourself realizing your confidence through repeated small successes.
