We wouldn’t have any limiting beliefs or self defeating thoughts…

All of our failures, screw ups and mistakes would be gone from our brain.

Sounds amazing right?

Of course, having our memories erased is not doable.

Soooo…

Instead, I’m going on a vacation. I can REALLY use one. BUT I want you to join me on the vacation!

Well, I’m not really going on vacation. I’m taking a vacation from myself.

There are still many things I do that I want to change. Many habits, actions, etc.

ABE baby! (Always Be Evolving!)

**

For example, what’s the first thing you do when you have an intense craving for chocolate?

Do you give in? Or do you reach for fruit? What if for just a week or just for the next 2 days you only reached for fruit?

Do you wake up as early as you want to? What if for just the next 3 days you woke up a tad earlier?

Do you cook yourself a healthy breakfast? What if for just the next 3 days you made yourself a healthy breakfast?

Do you submit your Daily Feedback right after your last meal? What if for the next 3 days, as soon as you’re done with dinner you flossed, brushed your teeth, used mouth wash then did the dishes and then logged on and filled out your feedback? (Let’s close that kitchen!)

What if you submitted your feedback even before dinner so you have to eat what you said you were going to eat!? (The more we can mentally rehearse what we’re going to eat, the better.)

Do you keep all of your promises? What if for just a week, you kept every promise you made to others AND yourself?

What if for just a week, you didn’t give in to any impulses and only ate whole, natural and real food?

Can I go on and on? YES!

But I think we get the point. I’m not asking you to do these things forever.

BUT, I’m asking you to try it for a week. 5 days! Actually, let’s make it for just the next TWO days.

And I want you to see how you feel after 2 days. We’re taking a vacation from ourselves!

So if you do something that you want to change, instead of talking about it or writing about it, let’s just be about it and THEN write about it! Starting this very moment!

Remember: act as if you were born today. Anything IS possible for the next two days. Why? We don’t know any better.

See you in paradise!

Confession time…

I love ice cream. I love cookies. I love hamburgers and fries.

I’m not saying it’s not fun to eat unhealthy. Because it is.

What I’m saying is that it’s way MORE fun to eat healthfully and to exercise.

Said in another way, I’ve never felt better from eating junk food than I have from eating healthy food.

I ALWAYS feel better when I eat better. (I know you do too.)

Ready for the reason why your friend is willing to pay top dollar for junk food but protests when it comes to healthy food?

When we’re in the middle of an intense craving, and we feel compelled to eat, we don’t think twice about the price.

$6 for a pint of ice cream? “I’ll take two!”

$4 a cookie? “Here ya go!” And we’ll even say, “Thanks!”

Gotta drive 5 miles away for that certain type of pizza you like? Vroom, vroom!

We do this because we’re thinking irrationally. We’re thinking with our short term self.

And when we go to the supermarket on a satisfied stomach (because my clients don’t go to a supermarket hungry, right?) we’re rational and thinking long term.

$6 for grapes? “What are they nuts?!?!?” we think.

$8 for clementines?! “That’s just insane!”

It goes on and on.

We feel bad about paying good money for good food but don’t think twice about paying good money for bad food.

Here’s a real quick lesson on why we buy:

We buy things because of the way they make us FEEL. People don’t drive fancy cars because they get them from point A to B faster. People don’t buy nice
watches because they tell time better.

No. They buy the fancy car because of the way it makes them feel. They buy the fancy watch for the same reason.

Here’s the best part about buying healthy food for ourselves —-> We feel better too!

I feel so much better investing in healthier food rather than spending on junk food.

This is the crucial switch:

EXPENSE VS. INVESTMENT

Want ice cream? The ice cream COSTS $6.

Want grapes but feel bad because your rational mind is telling you they’re too pricey? The grapes are an INVESTMENT of $6.

See the difference?

We feel even better eating it and 100x better AFTER eating it.

So let’s not feel bad about spending a few extra bucks on ourselves food wise.

The best part?

A cost is lost money. An investment pays us back over and over again. (At least a good one, does.) With our food choices, we GET to feel awesome during, afterward, and of course, we get to work towards our health and fitness…

Which, to me, is the BEST investment we can ever make. (Am I biased? Sure…but even if I didn’t own MyBodyTutor, I’d think it was.) I mean, without our health and fitness does anything else really even matter?

After all, YOU ARE worth it!

And besides, if you want to get all rational, I can list countless studies that prove how investing in our health and fitness now is far cheaper than the
alternative. But I will spare you and share these two quotes:

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

“It’s better to pay the supermarket than the doctor.”

Successful people invest in themselves, and they don’t feel bad about it because they know they’re an appreciating asset.

Have a great weekend! And remember: if you’re going out to eat, don’t feel bad spending a few extra bucks on the healthier food! We never, ever, regret our healthy choices.

In my opinion, there are three important parts to living your life in the best way:

- HEALTH
- WEALTH
- LOVE

See those three things?

Rate each one of yours on a scale of 1-10.

1 = I hate this part of my life.
5 = It’s acceptable… but I’m not happy with it.
10 = I’m kicking assssss.

Health, Wealth, Love.

Notice anything? Is one of yours WAY lower than the other?

When one of them goes way low, the others are impacted. Think about it:

If your wealth sucks, it’ll be harder to find or keep love. It’ll be more difficult to maintain your health with no resources and luxury of time.

If your love sucks (I mean family and friendly relationships along with romantic ones)… it’ll impact your health and depress you, which means your wealth AND health will suffer too.

If your health sucks, it’ll impact your love life AND your wealth.

In fact… if you don’t have your HEALTH, you can’t enjoy love or wealth! So what’s the damn point of doing anything without optimal health?!?

The easiest way to boost all three factors is to focus on your own health.

When you start feeling good, looking good, and your mind is clear, THINGS STARTS GETTING DONE.

And a person who handles their things and improves their life is SEXY AS HELL.

Ready to make an amazing investment in yourself with a tried and tested program that has helped 100’s and 100’s of people lose weight and get the body they’ve always wanted? Try it! You have nothing to lose. (I believe so strongly in it – I offer a 100% money back-guarantee.)

When we fall into the habit of overeating or eating junk when we’re stressed, it gets easier to repeat that behavior.

One episode of late night emotional eating can lead to a whole week of late night emotional eating.

When our brain is under stress there is a vicious cycle that gets created. In a study of chronically stressed rats the brains atrophied in the areas of decision making, while becoming overly developed in the area of habit formation.

Scientists note that behaviors can stick more quickly in stressed animals than in the controls, and worse, the stressed animals can’t shift back to long term thinking, rational behaviors when that would, of course, be the better approach. <— A.K.A. a vicious cycle.

This might explain why when we’re under stress we abandon all that we know – and all that we consciously want to do, and fall back into old habits.

Scientists note that we’re lousy at recognizing when our normal coping mechanisms aren’t working.

Our response is usually to do it five times more, instead of thinking, maybe it’s time to try something new. <— A.K.A. the definition of insanity –> Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.

So, even though eating junk doesn’t really help us feel better, we can’t stop ourselves from continuing to do it. Why? Because we’re used to doing that when we’re stressed. It’s simply how our brains are wired to act when we’re under stress.

Although stress is a huge killer, it’s also necessary for us to survive.

Fortunately, we no longer stress about what our ancestors did.

Our bodies have the most complex systems on Earth.

What’s the benefit of our brain being prone to habit formation anyway?

Perhaps to help shift as many behaviors as possible over to automatic pilot so we can better focus on the crisis at hand.

And even if the crisis at hand is our boss yelling at us or our kids being disrespectful – if we feel stressed, we’re stressed. Perception IS reality!

What do we do???

Besides, taking a vacation and changing up our routine for a bit which can rewire our brain there is also a big opportunity for us to change…

IF we plan ahead what we’ll do before we’re stressed.

If we do that, it’ll increase the likelihood that we’ll actually start doing it when we’re stressed. Lucky for us our new behaviors will become a habit more quickly as well!

Our biggest opportunities for growth are always when we’re most uncomfortable.

Here are 5 ideas for you to use next time you’re stressed:

1. Listen to music.

2. Gather a few favorite emails and read them when you’re stressed. Be sure to save them all in one place so they’re easy to get to.

3. Get up. Take a big deep breath and go for a 10 minute walk.

4. Read a juicy gossip blog that might make you feel otherwise guilty for doing so. (We’ll feel way less guilty reading than eating!)

5. Call your favorite person.

Pick one and try it next time you feel stressed.

Though it might be feel uncomfortable at first (doing anything different, especially when we’re stressed WILL feel uncomfortable), if we focus on just doing it the very next time we’re stressed, it’ll be a tad easier to do it again.

If we look at each stressful situation as an opportunity to create new habits (and it is), it makes it less daunting.

And if you don’t like the ideas above (totally fine by me) it’s worth thinking of other ways you can calm yourself down. The key, of course, is to think about what we’re going to do…before we get stressed.

It’s so easy to just say, “Eat less!” The critical and often neglected part of losing weight is the mental aspect of it. The psychology of weight loss.

Most “experts” ignore it because it’s way easier to just write articles with top ten lists telling us what foods to eat and what foods to avoid. C’mon now. We’re better than that!

For the most part, we all know what to do! It’s about actually doing it day in and day out. That’s the hard part! There are reasons why we can’t stick with it, though. MyBodyTutor will help you understand those reasons to ensure you stay consistent which guarantees YOU results.

“You’ve tried everything?” asks the speaker.

“Everything,” the guy replies.

“What were the last hundred things you tried?” asks the speaker.

“Well,” the guy admits, “I haven’t actually tried a hundred things.”

“Then what were the last twenty-five things you did?” asks the speaker.

“I haven’t tried twenty-five things, really, either,” the guy responds.

“So how many things have you actually tried?” asks the speaker.

“Well,” says the guy, sheepishly, “maybe five or six.”

When Greg first signed up, he told me he had tried everything and nothing worked. Naturally that excited me. It’s always fun to see if MBT is as effective as I believe/know it is.

What happened?

After a week of working with him he wanted to quit! And remember before Greg started, he had told me that no matter what he’s done in the past, he couldn’t lose weight?

I was astonished.

You know why?

In our first week together, we LOST 3 pounds!

This is truly fascinating to me…

But this is all part of human behavior. This is what keeps me so interested in this game.

I love exploring the psychological reasons behind our actions. After all, it’s ALL psychological.

Let’s talk about cognitive dissonance. This happens when we have two conflicting desires. For example, smoking. It is well known that smoking cigarettes can cause lung cancer yet every person I’ve ever met wants to live a long, healthy and fit life.

The uncomfortable tension caused by these two opposing ideas is known as dissonance. As humans, we look to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling. This is known as dissonance reduction.

The only way to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling is by a) quitting smoking b) denying that people actually get sick from smoking or c) justifying and rationalizing.

For example, a smoker could rationalize their behavior by believing that few people get sick from smoking, it only happens to people who smoke more than they do, if smoking doesn’t kill them something else will, they’ll quit next year or they only live once and they deserve to smoke.

In essence, they either need to take action (quit smoking and get whatever help they need <—- this is very hard!) or they need to make themselves feel better by rationalizing their smoking – which is what most people do (<—this is much easier and that’s why most people do it).

Knowing this, let’s talk about why Greg who has “tried everything” to lose weight, and finally did with MBT, wants to quit the program.

I’ll tell you why:

F.E.A.R.

It comes down to either fear of change, fear of failure or fear of success.

Everything he says boils down to fear.

There’s an old saying that I love:

“The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.”

In this case because Greg actually succeeded, he realized he was going to have to change for the long term. And unfortunately, real change is uncomfortable.

He got scared.

Because deep down, Greg wasn’t ready to really change. He didn’t think MBT would actually work. So he wasn’t prepared to let go of emotional eating.

In his mind, he needs to emotionally eat and he can’t imagine life without doing so.

His success made him fear the change.

So now, Greg is coming up with all sorts of excuses because he really doesn’t want to change. His main excuse is that it takes too much effort to submit a feedback every night.

Interesting.

Because he wants to change – but sorta doesn’t want to change – that’s causing a lot of dissonance or tension or discomfort (whatever you want to call it).

He has to get rid of that discomfort somehow…so he’ll find anything and latch on to it so he can ease the tension.

(Ahhh yes…submitting a feedback is a pain in the butt and it takes effort. Yes!!! Whew. Now I can rationalize my excuse – and not feel as bad and quit the program so I don’t have to change…because I’m really scared to change.)

The real problem ISN’T that it takes effort to submit a feedback. We make time for what’s important to us.

The real problem is that he doesn’t want to actually change. He rather just talk about changing. (We’ll work on this.)

Instead of criticizing or shaming him like so many people out there would do (because it’s the obvious and easy thing to do), it’s far more effective to help him understand his own behavior. (Shaming or criticizing never leads to long lasting change.)

Fighting human nature is silly.

Instead, when we understand what’s going on around us, it makes it a lot easier to call it what it is and move on.

##

Let’s face it. It were easy to change, people would do it.

It’s the daily and personal accountability, support, coaching, and guidance combined with our proven program and system that helps the change occur.

Got a question about the MBT program? Feel free to message me.  I read and reply to every email. I live for your success!

Maybe I led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t.

Maybe I made you think my body was already like that, and I didn’t build it in the kitchen and gym meal by meal, workout by workout, day by day.

Maybe I made you think that every day I live is easy – without any temptations.

That my body was built because I’m unemotional.

Maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength.

That my pain, was my motivation.

Maybe I led you to believe that my body was a God given gift, and not something I worked for, every single day of my life.

Maybe I destroyed the game of getting healthy and fit.

Or maybe…you’re just making excuses.

This video (safe for work) inspired this post 100%.

I wonder if it inspires you as much as it does for me?

##

You know MyBodyTutor is a 100% money back guaranteed, right?

Why? Because I know our program works. And if doesn’t work for you, simply ask for your money back. It’s as simple as that. You have nothing to lose!

But so do you. So do ALL of us!

Here’s one of my favorite quotes:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.”

Ohh, this hits me. It hits me real hard!

I’ll tell ya, it’s easier to sit on the couch and watch life on TV as opposed to actually living life. It’s much easier to remain the way we are, and hope and wish.

Why? Well, if we hope and wish, we don’t have to face any rejection or failure or discomfort.

We can just hope and wish!

Sure, that’s fun.

But it gets old fairly quickly.

The problem is, after a while, even the most non self-reflective person, will see through their own bull secretion. And that hurts.

BECAUSE when there is a disconnect between our desires and our actions, unhappiness ensues.

Deep down we all have a story. We all have desires. We all have wants.

We all have dreams.

And that’s my question to you:  What is your dream [fname]?

Sit with it for a few minutes. Sit with it for a few hours, if need be.

I’ll ask you again though.

What is your dream?

And, if we’re brutally honest with ourselves, we’re either working towards our dreams, or maybe, we’re burying our dreams…

Actually, here’s the question I REALLY want you to ask yourself:  What do I get to avoid in my life by carrying this extra weight?

Questions are powerful. The right questions can change the way you think, see and react to things for the rest of your life. Questions can change your perspective. Seeing things in a different light IS what a breakthrough is.

So, I’ll ask you one more time…what do YOU get to avoid in your life by carrying the extra weight?

Talk to me.

##

You know what hell would be? Seeing what we could have accomplished if only we had put forth the effort. BUT consistent effort is very hard to maintain. That is why having a system of daily accountability, support and a way to monitor and track your progress is critical.

Who won?! First off, the word was tangled. Every now and then I like to offer prizes in my emails because it’s fun. It’s fun for you and me. This was by far the biggest response I’ve ever gotten. Emails were coming in rapidly for hours after I sent the email. I even got a few emails this morning!

Anyway, the winner is…. drum roll please…. Melisa W. from North Carolina. You know who you are. She replied back almost instantly. Melisa won a brand new…shiny $50 gift card to iTunes. Thanks for playing!

We’re all emotional eaters. Some more than others, of course, but we all eat emotionally.

Emotional eating is simply eating to change the way we feel. And many of us eat when we feel stressed or happy or sad.

But what happens when we’re nothing but a big tlgenad (<—-Win a prize! Read below.) ball of emotions and we suddenly feel crazy because we can’t identify what we’re feeling at all?

We hate our job. Our spouse is giving us the cold shoulder. We’re lonely. We got into a fight with a coworker. Our kids are being unappreciative. The laundry is piling up…

Unfortunately, there’s no escape button.

So, when we’re faced with emotions that we can’t pinpoint, food can seem like an easy way out. And while food will provide us an escape, sitting with this big ball of feelings – although uncomfortable – can help us sort through things so we can really see what our reality is.

When there’s a lot going on, the key is to sorta act like Vanilla Ice (wow, never thought I’d write that in a inspiration) and instead of, “Stopping, collaborating and listening” we want to slow down, look, listen and feel.

Because if we don’t, this overwhelming feeling can create so much “noise” in our head that the idea of going into what I call a ‘food trance’ seems so appealing.

When we’re tempted to overeat because we feel overwhelmed, it’s helpful that we:

1. Slow down

2. Talk to a friend

3. Write it out and get clarity

4. Wait before acting

5. Think things through

6. Take each stressful situation and give it a feeling. The more specific we can be, the better. Then —> think of three things we can do to help this situation.

While food gives us momentary escape (and this is why our short term, irrational mind is so drawn to this), it blocks us from reaching a long-term solution.

When we work to understand what we’re actually feeling, there is always so much clarity, insight and possibility, and that feels very exciting.

Win a prize! The first person to message me with what that bolded word is really supposed to be wins a special prize. I will announce the winner and prize in the next inspiration. Good luck and hurry up!

According to economists we will choose what’s best for us.

HAHAH! Do they live in THIS world?

Clearly, this is not the case.

Research in psychology and behavioral economics proves we are very, very irrational creatures.

On one hand (I like to call this our long term self / rational mind) we know what’s best for us. We know we shouldn’t overeat, drink and smoke.

On the other hand (I like to call this our short term self / irrational mind) we’re highly impulsive and succumb to temptations all the time.

A temptation then is anything we consume more of when we’re hot/irrational/short sighted.

My definition of a temptation is anything that makes us think irrationally.

Here’s the challenge: Right now (5:07 EST on Friday), I feel pretty good. No cravings. I plan on going to the gym later on, and I feel focused and on point.

However, in 3 hours when I plan on going to the gym, I might feel tired. Being tired helps our irrational mind get louder. So does being hungry. So does being anxious.

Research has proven, and I’m supremely confident we don’t need research to prove this, we grossly underestimate how we’ll feel and act when we’re tempted – which in turn, wakes up the irrational part of our brain.

Right now, junk food isn’t in front of me. I’m thinking rationally. I’m good to go.

But, if you put my favorite treats in front of me (I’m not even going to write them) it would be an entirely different ball game.

A few lessons can be learned:

1. Don’t have any temptations near you. In your house, car, desk, whatever. Sounds obvious but it’s amazing how many people keep junk around.

2. Tell your loved ones / friends / etc., that you’re on a mission and that you’d appreciate if they didn’t bring you your favorite treats or keep them around.

3. Protect yourself from getting irrational. Remember: Hungry (eating every 3-4 hours), tired (sleeping, AND counterintuitively exercising – exercise GIVES us energy), and anxious (figuring out what’s REALLY bothering us, and choosing TO bother with it!) are the 3 killers.

4. Don’t go where there will be temptations! “Thanks, Captain Obvious!”

Sometimes we can’t control this but many times we can! A client just told me how she read an article about doughnuts this morning, and all day long she’s been thinking about doughnuts. Why do that to ourselves?

If we’ve decided that the junk at the party we’re going to isn’t worth it…why bother even looking?

Don’t underestimate how hot you can really get!

But see, right now, we’re cold so we’ll rationalize and say things like “Na, I’m good! I’ll be fine!”

Remember: #3 above, and let’s protect ourselves!

It’s not only ME saying amazing things about MyBodyTutor. Check out all of the press and testimonials we’ve gotten because of the amazing results we’re getting for our clients.

The month of January is a very busy month for many of us – as many people are trying to hit the ground running.

Lots of meetings to meet at, people to see, meals to share, work to get done, dinners to dine, things to take care of and the list goes on.

You know how in the movies the volume gets louder and louder as the actor is thinking through her list of what needs to get done faster and faster, until finally, the persons head explodes because they’re so overwhelmed?

Well, it seems as though many of us feel like that because we just have so many things to do.

And we’ll wind up doing a majority, if not all, of the things we commit to do. WHY?

Well, because we’re very good at keeping our promises to OTHER people.

But when it comes to ourselves? Forget about it.

We all have great hopes for the day. For the week. And for the month. We start each day with promises that we intend on following through with.

Yet, statistically many of us aren’t going to.

So what can we do?

Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz in their book, The Power of Full Engagement, describe a study in which a group of women agreed to do a breast self-exam for a period of 30 days.

100% (yes, 100%!) who said when and where they were going to do it completed the 30 day exam. Only 53% of the others did.

In another study, drug addicts in withdrawal (can you find a more stressed out population? I also think some of us are food addicts so we can relate) agreed to write an essay before 5PM on a certain day.

80% of those who said when and where they’d write the essay completed it! In this case, NONE of the others did.

That’s pretty amazing.

If we want to get something done, decide when and where we’re going to do it. Otherwise, don’t expect to do it.

Tip: On your Daily Feedback tell us what time you intend on exercising and where (be as specific as possible). In fact, for any task that makes the outcome list write when and where you’ll do it.

Let’s go! (Right now, wherever you are)

##

Want to GUARANTEE the chances you’ll get the body you want?

Arm yourself with daily and personal accountability, daily support along with a PROVEN system to monitor and track your progress. I’m so sure MBT will work for you (no matter your age, size or shape), we’re willing to put our money where our words are!

Simply because resolutions are words. And more than 95% of people never actually follow through on their words. After all, it’s easy to talk and talk. It’s not so easy to take the right actions day after day.

Let’s take a closer look at the word ‘resolution’ anyway.

Resolution is derived from the word “re-solve”. (Oh man! My mom who is a former English teacher is loving this right now!)

And what does that mean? It means to solve again. And that’s exactly what happens – we try to solve the same problem again and again, year after year.

You know what I’m talking about. These are the people who lose and gain and lose and again instead of pushing through…

Here is why:

By nature, change is uncomfortable. Simply because it’s different from what we’re used to doing.

Of course, if change were so easy, we’d all do it.

And our natural tendency is to remove the discomfort. So we never push through it.

The temptation to quit is greatest right before the breakthroughs happen.

And that’s when the rationalizations start happening. Because we’re looking for a way to remove that discomfort.

(Yes, discomfort is the dirty, dirty word people avoid. It drives me crazy! I once saw an infomercial for an exercise thingy – and the person who, of course, has a model type body is selling us (the viewer) by shouting all excitedly, “It doesn’t evennnn feellll like I’m exercisinggggg!!!!”)

(Umm, that’s because you’re NOT!!!!!)

I know my work isn’t done on this planet until things like that don’t sell. Not because I don’t want the seller to succeed but because I want the buyer to. And what they’re selling is horse secretion.

Here is a post I wrote a while back about why I’ll probably never write a bestselling diet book — > click here.

ANYTHING IN LIFE WORTH HAVING TAKES EFFORT. AND FOR MANY EFFORT = DISCOMFORT

The discomfort of change. But because we want to remove that discomfort, we can’t blame it on ourselves. So instead, we blame it on our circumstances…

Maybe next year…

-I’ll have more free time

-My life will be more stable

-My kids will be more independent

-My boss won’t be such a jerk

-I’ll have more money

-The stars will align

We all know this is pure bull-secretion. There is always another reason to wait. The excuses will always be there. We gotta rationalize not pushing through the discomfort one way or another. We can rationalize about rationalizing!

Here is another way to look at it — > if we’re doing the same things we used to do, we’re not changing. And therefore, we won’t feel any discomfort.

Discomfort means we’re doing things DIFFERENTLY, and therefore we’re on the right track.

For example…

Typically, if there is a whole spread of cookies and all kinds of junk food in front of us, we’d dig right in.

The more comfortable thing to do in the moment would be to take a plate, and load up.

The more uncomfortable thing to do in the moment would be to laugh at it like Dr. Evil (click here to see what I mean), and walk away thinking, “Na, that’s not a part of my plan. It’s not going to help me to look OR feel better!”

In other words, discomfort IS our compass.

We can’t escape the discomfort we have to endure. I’m sorry, we can’t. Nor can we escape the day to day consistency we have to stick to – which isn’t sexy whatsoever – even though – it’s ridiculously effective!

And because it’s so easy to avoid the inevitable! (Yes, eventually, you’re going to have to be consistent and stick with something if you want lasting results…might as well make it a sensible eating and exercise plan, yes?)

THE MOST BIASED PERSON ON THE PLANET?

Probably not me. BUT, because I’ve seen how daily and personal accountability, along with daily support combined with a system to monitor and track our progress has worked for so many people of all ages, sizes and shapes throughout the world – I KNOW it makes all of the difference.

It makes the discomfort way more tolerable and dare I say — comfortable.

HOW TO ACHIEVE ANY GOAL IN 2012

So, whatever goal you decide to pursue in ‘12, make sure you have some sort of system of accountability, support and a way to monitor and track your progress.

Otherwise, you’re just hoping and wishing.

There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth. Not starting, and not going all the way.

And if we don’t have any accountability, support and a way to monitor and track our progress, for whatever goal we’re after, we’ll never be able to go all the way!

To a happy, healthy and fun New Year!
