I hear people talk about how they want to lose weight, how they want to improve their health, and how they want to live a fuller life. However these same people are unwilling to put in the time, energy, or money into it. Well I am going to break it down in this post.
TIME - I hear this all the time. I don't have time. My life is hectic right now, I will try later. But later never comes. I bet if you would get 100,000 dollars for doing something for 8 hours a day outside of your normal activities (work and errands) you would MAKE the time wouldn't you? Then why does your health take the back seat? Your health is more important. Your health is what your family wants and you know what? It doesn't take 8 hours a day. It is about an hour of your time each day. That is just 4% of your total day! I know you got the trip to the gym, and getting ready, so it is more than 4%. I will cover that more in money.
ENERGY - Inactive lifestyles lead to a lack of energy. You feel run down, you want to just veg out, eat junk and drink cola or alcohol. Well that junk food and alcohol is part of the reason you are feeling that way, SO CUT THEM OUT! They are just empty calories. Instead choose healthy fruits and veggies and drink your water! Stay away from energy drinks. These fall under the empty calories arena. Also as you workout you will feel more energy, as well as self confidence and motivation.
MONEY - I know the gym can be expensive. I know that the current economy can make things tough. However what are YOU worth? People seem to have money for trivial stuff like tattoos, cigarettes, alcohol, video games, etc., but will put their health on the back burner. Time to change that if you want to be healthy. You need to make an investment in YOU. Getting at home programs like Turbo Jam, Insanity, or P90X are cheaper than a gym membership, more convenient, and funner to do. So get an at home program and you use that 4% of your day towards your health.
So how do we get started?
1 - DECIDE ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
2 - Throw out all the bad stuff and negative influences in your home.
3 - Join my Challenge groups! All you got to do is click a banner at the top of this page to take the challenge.
4 - Friend me on Facebook if you haven't already and message me!
5 - Be prepared to take control of your health! It is that easy.
Until next time, EAT CLEAN AND WORKOUT DIRTY!

The Power of a Word
I know we all go through these little things in our heads that tell us we CAN'T do something. Such a strong word, "can't". It is a word that puts limits on you. It is a word that prevents you from achieving your goals. It is a word that keeps you where you are with no growth. It is a word that can be psychologically devastating to you.
That's correct, I said to you. Whether you place that limit on yourself, or you let others tell you, "you can't" do something, you have limited yourself right there. You have no way to grow. If you want to grow, if you want to make goals happen, you have to get past the word "can't". Yes, things can be difficult, but if you are truly determined to do something, it WILL get done.
You may have people telling you that something isn't possible. That something is a gimmick. That you can't accomplish what you set out to do. These same people, however, have never tried to do anything. They have always taken the easy way, or the way of least resistance. They usually gave up on themselves and won't admit it. They have placed a limit on themselves. Because they place the limit on themselves, or even let others place that limit on them, they think things can't be done. They believe, that if they can't do something, others can't do it either. They refuse to let others try to succeed where they have failed, or never even tried.
The question now is, what are your goals worth to you? Are your goals worth you doing all you can to achieve them? Are your goals worth going the extra distance? Do you have your why? Do you have a daily reminder, like a dream board, up where you can see it each and every day? Are you doing self development to reach your goals? I keep saying goals. I say this because once you write it down and are determined, dreams become goals. They are no longer a dream. They are now a goal YOU WILL reach. You just have to do what you CAN to achieve them.
Stay away from people that say you "can't", or something is not possible, or something won't work. They are positivity vampires that will suck your goals away from you. They are telling you you can't. Show them you CAN and you WILL. Sure you may stumble, and you may fall along the way. Everyone does. But the real question is do you get back up, look at the wall or mountain that blocked your path, and go around it to get to where you want to be.
Follow people that are supportive of your goals and avoid the positivity vampires and you will get there! If you want it, it will be yours!
