Saying it vs. Doing it

Questions like where should I begin? What should I be doing? How do I get that body? What should I eat? probably all sound familiar to you at some point...but the real question is DID YOU GO AHEAD AND DO IT?

saying something and actually doing it are two completely different things... especially in the world of fitness and nutrition.  For instance, lets say you play golf and you are telling all your buddies, "I shot an 80."  Great, if you actually shot an 80.  Cool, that is believable. Wow, that's awesome.  Whether or not you shot an 80, there is no proof unless you were on the links with that individual.

However, saying you are lifting, nutrition is in check, you are tracking calories and you are gung-ho about this workout routine...but you  are not seeing results. Are you actually doing, what you are saying you are doing?  See the difference.  You can not lie. Ultimately, you are cheating yourself.  Are you eating that extra scoop of peanut butter and saying "oh it's just one scoop," and you are failing to track it?   Does your work out routine look great on paper, but you are not getting to the gym?  The truth is, you have to want it.  You can't cheat yourself.  People who claim they are working out for a couple months and are not making any progress are the people who need to take a step back and actually ask themselves, am I doing everything that I am suppose to be doing. Chances are they aren't.  Chances are they think they are in the "groove" but when you miss 3 work outs in a week and cheat on your meals every weekend but you are SUPER STRICT  during the week.....guess what? You failed.  You will never see/ make any noticeable progress.

 MEAN WHAT YOU SAY.  DO WHAT YOU SAY YOU ARE GOING TO DO. SEE IT THROUGH.

• Commitment: How bad do you want it?  IF WE CANT COMMIT TO OURSELVES, what can we commit to?
• Set a goal: Make today valuable- pick a future date. (run a marathon, transformation contest, wedding) AND SAY at this date I WILL BE WHERE I WANT TO BE.
• Track Your Calories: myfitnesspal.com
• Track Your Progress: take a notebook with you to the gym and jot down your progress/take pictures. SEE THE RESULTS, it will keep you motivated. 
• Get a work out partner: motivation, pushes you harder, gives you advice. Feed off each other.
•  New Environment: Mental outlook change.  New gym, new pair of running sneakers, new outfit, new workout routine. Switch it up.   

THE PROBABLY ONLY THING WE HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER IS OUR BODIES. TAKE CONTROL. BE CONSCIOUS ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE INGESTING IN YOUR MOUTH.   YOU WILL START TO SEE TRANSFORMATION. DON'T GIVE UP. DON'T CHEAT YOURSELF.  IF YOU CHEAT YOURSELF, WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT YOU?  DON'T BE THE WEAK. PACE YOURSELF.  SEE RESULTS. TAKE A HONEST LOOK AT YOURSELF. CREATE THE NEW YOU.  NOW.

HAVE BALANCE. HAVE DISCIPLINE.
