Six Weeks to Sleeveless and Sexy

1. Start ’Em!

No offense to the thinnest waist in the south, Miss Scarlett O’Hara, of Gone With the Wind fame, but tomorrow truly is not another day to start your six-week program. You know the drill: tomorrow will become the day after, and then some vague Tuesday when the planets align and the moon is full.

Make a vow with me to schedule your start date right now! Pull out your calendar and choose one day over the next three to begin the program. Circle the start date on the calendar. Unless there’s a real emergency, you will not move this date. And just for the record, a sale at Macy’s doesn’t constitute a true 911 moment. For this program to work, you’ve got to take it seriously. Think of the start date like an appointment with a doctor or dentist. It may not be a lot of fun, but you respect its importance and the goal of feeling and looking your best.

Perhaps you’ve canceled on yourself quite a few times over the years when it came to taking care of your body. Of course, your intentions are always honorable. You mean to get started, but then you have to drive the kids to sports practice and there’s that extra work project. And how in the world could you miss that two-hour American Idol special episode?

The point is, there will always be something else you could do instead of focusing on your health and well-being. Once you accept this, it becomes a case of making a formal appointment with yourself. Carve out the time, stamp it as your own, and don’t allow anything to get in the way of your new goals—short of the house being on fire or a hurricane sweeping down the street. Inform your family that you’re checking out for that time to take care of yourself.

No exceptions. No excuses. And once the results begin, you won’t ever look back.

My plan has worked for so many people, and failure isn’t an option if you truly follow it.
