Weight Loss: The A Factor - The #1 Secret to Sticking to Your Weight Loss Program!
Twenty years ago, I did not expect to accomplish what I have in the fitness world. And I surely didn't dream about writing best-selling
books or think my story was worth retelling. However, two things I did now; first by exercising and eating, it better allowed me to be involved in something much greater than me. And second, I was not afraid to ask for help and support. We live in a world filled with pride, denial and
laziness. It's just that simple. Your success in
weight loss, sports conditioning or general
fitness comes down to one simple thing: asking for
help. Our country used to be goal oriented. People used to
take pride (good pride) in the fact that they were
in the process of accomplishing something if they started to take care of
themselves. Today,most want something for nothing. If that were not
the case, America would not be the fattest nation on
earth and getting larger every day. Very soon each one of you will either choose or be
forced to take some personal responsibility in
your health and fitness levels. Forced? Yes! The
truth is, the way things look, each one of you will
either face the music on your terms or some life
changing circumstance is going to come your way
that will force you to take a good long look at
your health. Scare tactic, you betcha! So what do you do? You get a medical check up if
necessary and just start moving. Quote: With all the fitness and diet programs out there,
you would think people in our country would be
getting in better shape. We're not. Why? All of us
are confused, frustrated and burdened down at the
contradictory of medicine and fitness for one
reason, and the other reasons involve issues we
have already discussed. The key in motivating yourself
to exercise is to keep your eye on the big picture.
If you don't, the details will become a quicksand pit.
The big picture is: JUST MOVE IT! So much money and time is spent on gimmicks and
diet fads that only get used for a short time,
with little or no results. The big picture is about being realistic, not to
have high expectations, but to focus on internal
health issues, such as blood pressure, body fat,
cholesterol levels and a quiet mind. The
challenge is that you have grown accustomed to
being motivated by instant gratification. It is
more of a priority to look good rather than to
have lower stress levels. You get frustrated because you are trying to fight
a battle you can't win with something fast and
easy. It's called aging. You blame aging on other
things in hopes there is something out there that
you can do or take that will get you the results
you want in the shortest amount of time. The truth
is while good looks are a good measurement; they
are only perks in the big picture. THERE ARE NO MAGIC FORMULAS! FROM MY BOOK JUST MOVE IT! Get it at www.resolutions.bz Next you ask for directions and support. This may
be the make or break it area in your success in
getting in better shape. When developing a good
support system, there are important things to
remember. Here are a few things to mark off your
checklist when you are building personal fitness
accountability. What kind of people do you associate with? ***Toxic - Non-supportive, pessimistic, victim
mentality. ***Non-Toxic - Encouraging, happy, forward
thinkers. Do you consider yourself to be a prideful person?
(Is it hard for you to ask for directions? ***Asking for support is a sign of strength not
weakness. When was the last time you went on a vacation? ***Rewarding yourself for hard work motivates you
to push harder and stay focused. Do you have any honest and authentic people around
you? ***Find a trustworthy friend to help you, with your
goals Do you have anyone you admire? ***Find someone you can model. Your weight loss, energy levels and general health
can start changing today if only you are not
afraid to ask for help. Good luck and keep an open
mind. LOSE WEIGHT TODAY! Click here for FREE Mini Course http://www.resolutions.bz Discover the five step common sense

Do You Really Want To Stop Smoking? Or Do You Use The Weight Gain Excuse?
I do not smoke, never have, and admit to being one of those 'pain in the butts' (OK, bad pun!) that go on about the foul stench, and anti-social behaviour of smokers, especially in public places.
I Can, I Cant
One common question I receive is, "What do you do for maintenance?" It always takes me by surprise because the concept is alien to me. Maintenance? Granted, when I started this lifestyle, I would have loved to have some "vacation" waiting for me at the end, and I was certainly thinking about how I would "relax things" when I achieved my peak physique. Along the journey, however, I learned a true lesson in life: there is never any "maintenance."
