Make Small Changes for Big Results

By Elly McGuinness

Lifestyle changes to achieve personal fitness goals are a long-term game.  There are no ‘silver bullets’ to overhaul your health and fitness in a matter of days or weeks (sorry!).  That’s not to say you can’t make improvements in those time frames, but the extent of the improvement you expect can often end up letting you down in the long run.

Could you give up all refined sugar and flour in your food choices at home from today onward and forevermore?  Absolutely!  However, when big goals like this are crammed into a short time frame, the results can leave you depleted and deprived.  In turn, this means a low likelihood of any future sustainability of the goal.

So you want to achieve your personal fitness goals?

When looking at how to improve health and fitness effectively, small changes are an important key to success.  This is a tough concept to swallow in a society that is looking for instant gratification with every choice.  In reality, however, this is how health and fitness goals are achieved safely, and in a sustainable and enjoyable way.

If your goal is to give up all refined sugar and flour in your food choices at home, where you start will depend on where you’re at now.  Look for one small step at a time to improve the choices you are currently making.  You might start with the following small targets:

Small changes. Big results!

If you find that a target you set yourself is too difficult to adhere to, that is an indication to break it down and make it smaller, or perhaps focus on a different area for a while – because goals consist of many small parts coming together to create results.
