Monday Motivation – Preventing Failure!

OK Fitness Enthusiasts! Time for your Monday Motivation.

Helping you to stay the course even when you mess up (like some of you did over the weekend), the Great Coach Vince Lombardi said:

It’s not weather you get knocked down; it’s weather you get up.

Pretty simple and sound advice…we all mess up. We all fail. This is just how we learn.

Remember to always “fail forward.” That is learn from your failure, fail quick, recover and get moving.

So many times I have heard people say things like:

Well I messed up my diet already, so why stop now. Then they continue to eat and eat and eat.

OK, here is why…the extra 1000 calories you will take in above and beyond the mess up you already did! Hey guys, calories add up.

Cheating done once is a simple cheat and not so much of a bad thing. It is actually good for you and your diet.

Cheating helps keep the mind and mouth happy. Cheating helps keep the metabolism high and fat burning strong…

BUT cheating needs to be done on a specific schedule…not all the time or ongoing.

Cheating continuously is called a BINGE! That is how you DESTROY your progress.

So stick to your plan, cheat on a schedule, cheat once and be done with it.

Success is yours my friend!

Now Go Workout!
