The Weight Loss Key to Success – Are you a sell out!

Written by Greg Ryan


The only way you will follow through on an exercise program is to be sold out. The military calls them “lifers.” These are people who are committed to something forrepparttar long haul. Are you a lifer? Could you be a lifer?

A lifer has a sold out mindset. He or she realizes that there will be potholes to go through; there may even be a sinkhole up ahead, but they get through it or they go aroundrepparttar 148696 situation. It may take support from others, but it gets done. You may not be a lifer today, but you could be if you don’t make changes now!

DECISION MAKING

I was named Mr. Michigan inrepparttar 148697 statewide bodybuilding contest in 1988. When I competed in bodybuilding contests, it took me a good month to decide if I really wanted to go for that particular goal. The decision process was well thought out. I realizedrepparttar 148698 days ahead would bring doubt, frustration, pain, and at times, humility.

I also realized it could bring many emotional setbacks. Was I willing to payrepparttar 148699 price? Was I willing to change my behavior and lifestyle forrepparttar 148700 hope of a future benefit? All those thoughts had to be debated beforerepparttar 148701 decision to move forward was made. However, when I maderepparttar 148702 decision to go forward, a switch was turned on that could not be turned off. I could not turn back. There is a sense of relief that comes with making a decision. Perhaps because once that decision is made, allrepparttar 148703 pressure is off. My philosophy is: “GOALS CHANGE, DECISIONS DON’T”

Why do you think New Year’s Resolutions don’t work? Waiting to start a good exercise program begsrepparttar 148704 question, “Are you serious enough about it to begin now instead of putting it off till a certain time?” Now isrepparttar 148705 time to start.

Weight Loss Longevity --It’s the Big Picture

Written by Greg Ryan


Each of you is different. You will put into exercise a certain amount of effort and everyone will get something different from it. You cannot just package good intentions and say, “If you do this or if you buy that, you will receive this in return.” It just doesn’t work that way. But, I will guarantee you this: committing to exercise and eating right will bring you nothing but positive and fulfilling rewards, both physically and emotionally. It could very well save your life some day. It saved mine!

A PROMISE THAT CAN NOT BE BROKEN.

I have bad days. I have good days. I have days I had wish I had never started exercising. I want fried foods some days. I eat fried foods sometimes. I want to take a vacation from it all. I take a vacation from it all. Yet, atrepparttar end ofrepparttar 148695 day, some small voice inside reminds me of that decision I made many years ago. I can’t turn back even when I want to. I made a commitment to myself years ago:

Never be afraid to ask for help and realize every day to focus onrepparttar 148696 big picture.

What about you? Are you going to sell out to being miserable, achy, low energy, and suffer from low self-esteem? Or are you going to make a meaningful decision to get in better health? Let’s do it together.
