Seems a lot of people have been asking for a kick in the pants lately.

Here is the long and short of it:

Only you can make yourself eat right.

Only you can make yourself workout. Even if you hire a trainer - you still have to make it to your sessions and do the work at home.

Only you can make excuses about time, sleep schedules, work schedules, etc. I bet you find time to watch TV or Movies, time to post on freetrainers, time to loaf on the couch. If you honestly think you don't have any time - make a list of everything you do, every minute, for two days. i bet there are some lower priority things being done when you could be exercising.

No one is forcing you to exercise, or to eat healthy. If you are striving for better health, a better quality of life, or a better physique than you have chosen this path. Quit whining. Get moving. Have a good attitude about it.It will get easier, but it is a battle of determination and consistency.

The occasional cheat or slip-up or rest day isn't the end of the world. Look at your routine and see if you are being too strict or overtraining, or if maybe you have some emotional issue you don't want to face and you are babying yourself with food.

This is your life, take responsability for it and where you want it to go.

As bb1fit has posted before - it is this simple:

a) workout

b) eat healthy foods to fuel your body

c) repeat.

If you are full of excuses, dont bother with me. If you are ready to make some sacrifices for the better we will get along just fine. I hate EXCUSES!!!!!
