HOW CAN I STAY FOCUSED ON MY HEALTHY NUTRITION GOALS?

Well I would break it down into 5 fundamentals in proper goal setting

1. Vision
2. Strategy
3. Belief
4. Persistence
5. Learning

Vision - Most people want to know what diet to do or how many calories to consume and although that is ok, it usually is done in the wrong order.  If you first start with a diet or calories and it does not match your vision or your vision changes then the strategy is flawed.  Spend ample time being ready and being sure what you want and get a crystal clear picture in your mind where you are going.

Strategy - Now that you know where you are going then it is much easier for you to develop the appropriate strategy to meet your goals.  It also will decrease frustration and burn-out because you are more confident in the outcome.  Think of it as GPS.  A great GPS system is a wonderful strategy but if you don't know where you are going then the best GPS system will not help you.

Belief - Very simply put you have to believe that you can accomplish your vision through your strategy.  You have to remain positive and if that is tough for you then you have to surround yourself with a good coach or positive people

Persistence - No fitness goal is ever smooth and you will hit bumps in the road.  You have to be willing to pick yourself up, forgive yourself and keep pressing forward.

Learning - You have to record everything you do, log everythign you do because you become more aware of what you are doing.  Awareness leads to wisdom and wisdom and passion is how you maintain your progress long term.  Also learning is about seeking new information so you are better informed.

Try these steps and focus on them.  Goals come down to movitation and the above system in that order helps you to stay focused and motivated.
