This world is FULL of excuses. Excuses not to push yourself at the gym, excuses not to GO to the gym, excuses why you "need" that crap food, excuses why you shouldn't put in extra effort at work, excuses why you shouldn't act on a dream you've been secretly nursing; but the result will always be the same. You want the same old disappointments, stay sitting on your rear. But if you want to see what you're really capable of, if you want the body you've always dreamed of, the career you've looked up at and only imagined, the LIFE you never thought possible, all that is required is to get up and move. It's really that simple.
At present, I certainly have more time available than the average person to work on my physique, and my results are coming quick and steady. However, there's nothing special about how I'm going about it. There are no crazy supplements, no bizarre food combinations, it's all been done through good old fashioned sweat and will power. The weight comes off one good decision at a time, just like everyone else. I push myself through tough workouts, I eat the right amounts of clean food, and results follow. Every day I make the choice to get up and put in the time. I don't turn on the tv, I don't sit around in my jammies relaxing, I put on my workout gear and I hit it hard.
I hope each of you takes a moment to consider what it is you want most out of life, knock out anything that doesn't fit into that priority list, and just start moving. Do you want a better body? Get in that gym whenever you can. We all have other priorities to deal with-careers, family, friends. But if you don't make a change no one will do it for you. Waking up early sucks. Deal with it and get moving. No time in the morning? Get in there at lunch. Busy with lunch meetings? Knock it out after work. Constantly handling issues with the kids? Put in a workout tape while they nap. Take control of your life. Do you want to add a passion to your life outside of work, just go for it. Stop dreaming about taking that cooking class or getting involved in cycling, or whatever you've been holding back and go for it! Your life will be so much richer for the experience. All it takes is a little bit of momentum.
You want the same old results, keep following your path. If you're hungry for a change, then get off your rear and do something about it!
