Got an email from a client today saying she's feeling sick, stressed with her job and she needs some inspiration with her nutrition program.   

So I thought to myself...hmmm...if she needs some inspiration, maybe YOU do too.

So here goes...

When you're having days like this, you must understand these circumstances are perfectly normal and have nothing to do with your fitness goals.

You're not always going to feel 100 percent.  You're not always going to love going to work.  But you DO owe it to yourself to always be healthy and stay on track with your fitness program.

Every single day you make the decision to either move one step closer toward your goals or one step back. 

So ask yourself... What are MY fitness goals? 

You want to lose X number of pounds, right?

Ok, great.

So what do YOU have to do in order to achieve this goal?

Will eating like crap today because you don't feel well and are stressed out with work help you?

NO.

Will following a nutrition program of healthy natural foods every 2-3 hours, eating small reasonable portions, combining a lean protein with a fibrous carb (if you don't eat like this - you should start) and drinking plenty of fresh water move you closer toward your goals REGARDLESS of your current situation?

YEEEESSSS!

See.  It's  that simple.  It's a change in mindset.  You are in control. 

If you're currently struggling with your program, I can almost guarantee you're NOT keeping a strong, focused mindset.

If you want to lose X number of pounds - then go do it. 

You don't have to be a fitness expert to know that all you have to do is eat right and exercise.

Sure, there may be some things you need to educate yourself about, but you KNOW what's healthy and what's not. 

There are millions of excuses, but most if not always, they end up being just that - excuses. 

It really comes down to how bad do you want it...and I know you want it BAAAD - so hop to it!

Have a great day and until next time - train hard and train smart! ;-)
