12 steps to Bridal Fitness Bliss

Some brides have a hard time getting started on their bridal fitness and weight loss programs. There is really no better time in life to start down a path to fitness and health than now. It's a happy time, you are in transition, and you're deciding who you will be as a married woman and couple. Health is a gift, one both you and your fiance can decide to give each other - from this day forward.

Below are 12 steps to move you toward building a healthy lifestyle for the long term.

Step 1 – Admit you are powerless over your resistance to exercise - that your life is badly in need of a fitness make-over.

Step 2 - Come to believe that a power greater than your own “willpower” can restore you to activity.

Step 3 - Made a decision to turn your "willpower" over to the care of a well organized, balanced, realistic workout schedule.

Step 4 - Make a searching and fearless inventory of your obstacles, objections and resistances to exercise.

Step 5 – You are entirely ready to rely on the plan you have outlined that addresses and overcomes the issues you listed in step number 4.

Step 6 - Admit to yourself and to another human being that healthy eating and exercise is your path to a healthier future.

Step 7 - You have humbly resolved to start slow and build on your successes and you vow to believe that some activity is always better than none.

Step 8 - Make a list of all the diets and workout programs that have not worked for you over the long term, and vow not to go back to them.

Step 9 - Make a direct admission that diets do not work, and you will therefore embark upon a program of eating that includes whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and lean meats and you will eat in amounts that support your best health.

Step 10 - Continue to take personal inventory of your activity and eating programs and promptly correct what you find out of balance with your health goals.

Step 11 - Seek through planning, scheduling, support and forgiveness to improve your health through knowledge, awareness and the power to carry out your plan.

Step 12 - Having a healthy awakening as the result of these steps, you will carry this message to others offering your support and encouragement for their success.
