BEING SOLD OUT IS AN ATTITUDE OF THE HEART!

PERSEVERANCE

Having a sold out attitude helps you persevere through some of down times. There were a lot of times I just wanted to quit. I questioned why I even started this whole exercise regime. It was circular at times. The more I did, more I struggled. And round and round I went.

But I always remembered that I had made a decision to stay in it for long haul. My workouts did not have to be perfect all time, as long as I kept moving forward. I just had to persevere, no matter what! So I did. SELF- MOTIVATION

A small part of all of us needs to be self- motivated. You cannot do it alone. You will always need a good support system; however, somewhere inside a little self- motivation needs to be smoldering to keep fire going. The only thing that will get you through hard times is to have some “faith.”

SELF – DISCIPLINED

Having self-discipline is different than being self-motivated. You can be motivated, but not disciplined. However, you cannot be disciplined without being motivated.

No one will or can exercise for you. Nor can they tell you what to eat for rest of your life. Being self-disciplined requires you to consistently keep main goal in mind. And what is that? Having a sold out attitude!

In a nut shell:

While guidelines are needed, try not to get bogged down with details. Make a decision to make exercise and eating right a priority in your life, even if it is not up to your expectations.

Exercise and better eating will give back a very fulfilling life. But you have to keep your eye on ball. Speed bumps and potholes will always be there in season. The process of avoiding them can be a lot more fun than you can imagine.

1. Be a lifer for exercise and eating right.

2. Do not get bogged down with being perfect. Be more focused on being consistent.

3. Watch your ego; it can defeat you at any moment, anywhere, from any direction.

4. Consistency is magic word.

If you want to keep your weight down for rest of your life, you have to keep your ey on big picture.
