Stay in "First Date" shape

Does this sound familiar. Have you or someone you know, ever been guilty of this?

You've been in a relationship for 10 years and both of you are complacent and comfortable.

You slowly let yourself go.

You stop exercising and taking care of your body.

You stop making yourself look good for your partner. You don't brush your teeth as much and you don't really care if you have bad breath.

Your hair is often un-done and you don't try as hard to "court"your spouse. You stop being creative to surprise each other with a weekend get away or a romantic night together.

Before you know it you split.

You're sad at first and as time goes by you realize it's definitely over. There's no chance of getting back together, you tell yourself you'll start dating again.

So what's the first thing you do?

You say: "I gotta lose 25 pounds, get rid of my belly". You go get a haircut. You go to the dentist to get your teeth cleaned. You start training. Suddenly you're motivated and you make physical fitness and feeling good your # 1 priority.

What I always find funny is why couldn't you focus on maintaining yourself when you still had the love of your life. Because at one point that person was the love of your life right?"

But you let them slip away. You got too comfortable.

Instead of trying to "court" one thousand people only once, focus on "courting" that one person one thousand times.

Tomorrow's St-Valentine's Day.

Don't let you or a loved one slip away from you. Make looking and feeling good about each other your # 1 priority.

Keep your body in "FIRST DATE" shape. Here's the link to how you can do that now.

Keep that fire alive,

Maintain Yourself,

P.S Starting to train and being health conscious AFTER you've broken up can easily be avoided. Get fit and stay fit.
