Ruthie’s Step 17…. Sticking to the program!

1. You need to not focus on the past, what you use to look like or that outfit you use to wear. You need to focus on how healthy you will be and all the things you will able to do now that you have lost the weight! Make new memories!

2. Be sure and prepare yourself. That is why you are reading this, right?

3. Start slowly on the exercise. Don’t overdo it. It won’t be long till you will be so fit you can’t be still!

4. Get the whole family or a friend involved in your exercise program. Just have some active…fun!

5. Be proud of all your accomplishments. You have bragging rights! Be an inspiration to others!

6. If you are going somewhere to exercise even if you don’t feel like going, just go any way! I know you will end up doing something there!

7. Be sure and eat! Keeps that metabolism going! (Step 13)

8. Pay attention to your energy levels. Do your workout then if possible.
