Accept it. Let it scare you. Better yet, USE IT to your advantage.
Make it be your motivating factor everyday. Who knows what happens on the other side, all you know is that you better achieve every single goal on that bucket list of yours, and if you haven’t started making one-it’s never too late to start.
Why, because you need to have that sense of urgency. You need to have that sense that today is the day to make it happen. Every day you inch closer – inch by inch. You want that life of your dreams you start clawing for that inch.
And best yet, regardless of where you are in your life. You can take action! After all, every day is another day gone forever and “if you’re looking for the past, you have your back to the future.”
Quick question: What would you want your legacy to be when you have no more days left?
There’s only one thing that gets in the way of that legacy and it is fear. What is fear? I like to think of it as false evidence appearing real. Fear is just a manifestation of bullcrap made up in our head, that has made its way into our reality by our environment and our experiences.
Please for your own good, use fear to your advantage. If fear controls your life, you will live a life full of regret, and that is a life wasted.
I know you have bills, I know you have obligation, I know you have dreams, I hope you don’t have broken dreams. Stop listening to others, start listening to yourself! (Well I suppose you can still listen to me :P)
Here’s what I recommend:
· Write your goal down on a sheet of paper.
· Now break it down step by step, what you are going to do to acheive that goal.
· I write myself goals, notes, and to do’s everyday, I write my to do list for the next day the night before.
I’m a “stickler” for metaphors & examples, so here’s an example:
· Goal = Lose 10lbs
Now break it down into small steps:
· Full body workouts at least 3x/week (at least 3x!)
o Even better if you can do 4-5x/week. (If you are one of our Boot Campers or Personal Training clients & reading this, you have no reason why you shouldn’t be getting your workouts in at least 3-4x/week).
· Eat healthy!
o Most adults & especially women definitely need to consume more protein to rebuild muscle fibers broken down through training.
· And repeat!
Be self aware, use feedback, and change accordingly. The definition of insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting different results. We tend to get a bit random at Boot Camp if you haven’t noticed with the mixing of the writeout formats (A/B, 1-10, indoor, outdoor, crazy move here, etc.), random but with complete intention and purpose.
Here is a sample of what you should eat in a day if you want to lose weight. Yes, you should be eating every 3 hours. My body is now programmed to be “fed like a machine” with no food afer 3 hours, and with these sort of body mechanics, your body can’t help but want to lose weight & couple this with some muscle and you’re golden.
Daily Meal Plan Sample:
· Breakfast (upon waking):
o whole grain bread and 1-3 eggs
o alternate for the quickie breakfast person=oatmeal with fruit and yogurt
· Snack (3 hours later):
o almonds and blueberries
· Lunch (3 hours later):
o grilled chicken with salad greens and vegetables (dressing – olive oil)
o alternate for the quickie lunch person=sliced turkey
· Snack (3 hours later):
o can of tuna & apple
· Dinner (3 hours later):
o salmon with asparagus & mushrooms
· Snack (3 hours later):
o plain low fat yogurt used as dip for veggie sticks (carrots, celery, peppers)
Now that seems like a lot of food, but if you did the calorie count it would be under 1,500 calories a day, and that is guaranteed depending on your metabolism, bodyweight, and muscle mass to have you lose at least 1 pound a week from your diet alone (in most cases).
The most important thing I have said here though (especially for women) = EAT MORE PROTEIN!
You will have to do this, so strap in, dig your feet deep, draw that line in the sand and don’t you budge an inch- lose an inch!
On a side note: Just as I spoke about above, if you haven’t created a “Bucket List” yet, you should start immediately! Everyone believes they will do this and do that, but without an actual list you’ve recorded them on reminding you of your Bucket List and what has or has not been accomplished, you’re left with hopes & dreams. Therefore, I’ve included a few links for you to get started:
