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?
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 not reaching 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.
It is understandable, yet frustrating 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 of your goal, excuses will take over – leaving you without progress and without the
sweet satisfaction of accomplishment.
Here are the 3 Steps to Destroy Excuses...
Step One: 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.
Feel free to reach out to us for help with this
step. We'd love to get you set up with the right plan to reach your goal.
Step Two: Have Accountability
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 us!) 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.
Feel free to reach out to us for help with this
step as well. We are professionals at keeping our clients accountable!
Step Three: Set a Deadline
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: 1) How much weight do you have to lose, and 2) How hard
you are willing to work to get there. Find a reasonable timeframe in which to
accomplish your goal, then focus all your energy on meeting this deadline.

"Those who do not find time for exercise
