Will - the power to chose or decide; desire.
Willpower - the strength of will to chose or decide; desire
Hi and welcome back!
When people talk to me about their health and fitness goals one of the most common things I hear from them is "I haven't got any willpower" and this lack of willpower then becomes the reason for not achieving their goals. Do you believe that your willpower isn't very strong? If so, the questions you might like to ask yourself are
"How strong is my desire to reach my health and fitness goals?"
"Am I prepared to make the choice to do what it takes?"
"Have I decided that I am worth the sacrifices and the hard work?"
Listen to your answers and hear if they are the answers that convince you that you will achieve your goal? If they do not convince you, then what needs to happen so that you are convinced?
Think of anything you have ever achieved in your life and how strong your desire was to achieve that goal. How easy was it to make the choices and decisions that led you to achieving that goal? Is your desire to achieve your health and fitness goals the same? If not what is different? What needs to happen for your desire to be the same?
If you really, really, really want something, do you do everything in your power to get it? Do you let nothing get in your way?
If you are not achieving what you want to achieve what might be getting in your way? Could it be you, I wonder?

hi. I am still struggling with my blogging sometimes! Tried to do it from my phone but didn't work, so sorry that this is late.
Well this was after a hard exercise on tuesday night - everything hurt! But it must be doing me good!
Well done Liza!
Anyway wednesday's food diary:
Bfast - flapjack and banana
Lunch - salad with chicken and olives
and smoothy - mango
THEN EXERCISE
Tea - flapjack
I didn't eat right and ended up with a headache!
I did drink loads of water and my cups of tea were with soya.
Loved the second exercise class and had a great laugh with you girls. Thanks.
Hi Claire, bit worried here as you have not had enough to eat, unless you had loads of flapjack!! Seriously, it is so important to refuel after an exercise session, especially working at the intensity we are. So often we think it is better to starve ourselves to lose weight whne in reality, that is the very last thing we should do. More vegetables would be good. Try having veggie snacks such as veggie sticks with dip. They will give you lots of extra nutrients that you will benefit from big time!! x
