YOU CAN HAVE RESULTS OR EXCUSES NOT BOTH

Why aren't you at your goal weight today? It's not like you started your fitness journey yesterday. This has been a goal that you've been working towards for years.

So why haven't you achieved it yet?

Now listen really closely to all the reasons that are popping into your mind right now. Grab a pen and paper and jot them down. These reasons you're giving for failing to reach your goal are really very clever excuses. So clever, that you convinced yourself that they were legit. That's right. You're not at your ideal weight at this moment because you've given in to excuses. I can understand your frustration because those excuses that you cling to tend to be very convincing. 

Now it's time to push your frustration aside and to really focus in on your goal. If you lose focus on your goal for even a second, excuses will take over – leaving you without progress and without the sweet satisfaction of accomplishment.

The first thing you need to do is make a plan. There's huge benefit to having a step-by-step plan when working toward a goal. Write out exactly how many times you'll exercise per week, for how long, and make a list of acceptable foods. This plan will be your follow-along-guide to arrive at your goal, so put a lot of thought into it.

Your next insurance against excuses is to enlist as much accountability as possible. Try to find people who will actively check up on you (like a trainer) rather than people who aren't likely to follow up on your progress. Share your detailed plan with these accountability partners and explain the importance that your goal has for you.

All good things must come to an end, and so does the journey to your ideal body. How long should the process take? Well, that's up to your unique situation. How much fat you have to lose, and how hard you are willing to work to get there. Find a reasonable timeframe in which to accomplish your goal, and then focus all your energy on meeting this deadline.
