Summer has ended and September has arrived. As we move into the cooler days we must do it with a mission to set goals and stop excuses.
START BY KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT: When you know what you want and you set your mind to it I promise it will make everything in your life easier. The worst thing you can do right now is the Internal Battle of wanting to lose weight but not wanting to put the work in. You have to remember everyone wants to be thin and healthy. Everyone wants to feel good and look great in their clothes. You were given a beautiful life why wouldn’t you want to look good and feel good living it. Why wouldn’t you want to slip on your skinny jeans or nice suit with ease…. When you put the work in you can have what you want. Let’s do it by setting in a September mission….
THE MISSION: Be 100% on program following your menu of meals and snacks with nothing in between — and following 100% 6 days on and 1 day off. No hiccups of the night before cheat day or the day after. No making excuses of why you can’t — only focus on what you want and how important it is to you.
SHORT TERM MISSION: From Today until September 30th your MISSION is to be 100% on program. If you do this I promise you will feel like a different person. You will have the mental and physical control that you love. You will feel lighter, thinner, and healthy— and you will excited and motivated with the results.
HOW DO YOU DO IT 100%? You need to walk away from temptation. Don’t let sabotages in. Keep all negative out and let only positive surround you. You have to stop talking about what you wish for and start working for it to see the results. You take one day at a time. Focus only on today – plan for it, and follow it. Then tomorrow you do the same thing. If an event comes up and it’s not your cheat day you work around it. There is always a way to stay on program. It’s a matter of how much you want to that will determine if you do it. Don’t push it off until tomorrow because if you don’t want it bad enough today what makes you think you will want it bad enough tomorrow. The longer you put things off the harder they become. You have one life. Every day you wake up – the day is 100% yours to make the right choices and do the right thing.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Summer was fun but now it’s done. So don’t look back. We look back for memories and we look forward for results. From the moment you wake up the choices and excuses you make are going to define your day. You decide if it’s going to be a good or bad day. You decide if you are going to make happy choices or make the excuses that will give you instant gratification followed by a day of mental anguish. Your happiness will always remain within the choices and excuses you make.
Where you are today is from the choices you made yesterday
You will wake up tomorrow from the choices you make today.
