How Bad Do You Want It?

This morning I had a conversation with my success partner and we were discussing so many different things.  We were mainly discussing our personal goals in relation to our business objectives, and then I just started to tell her how with my personal goals (like just recently hitting lifetime with Weight Watchers) it helped me eliminate all my excuses.  I am on my 3rd round of P90X with TurboFire and I have found my groove.  Its like brushing my teeth.  Do I like getting up at 5 a.m.?  Your thinking I'm gonna say no, your wrong!  I actually don't mind; because I know if that's the only time I've got then that works for me.

I'm too afraid of the consequences of not working out.  That is my motivation to keep going.  Things can easily spiral.  There have been behaviors that I've adopted that have helped me forge ahead.  Last September, I was 18 pounds heavier, and doing INSANITY and wasn't making much progress on the scale but my endurance was improving.  While I want to say it didn't help, it was actually what I needed as a precursor to P90X and future hybrid rounds with other Beachbody programs. 

There are times that I can honestly say I can't believe I was able to shed 7 pounds over 4 weeks to get to goal but that's where my unconsciously competent self took over.  I had been practicing good habits (daily Shakeology meals, committing to exercising (with the help of some awesome workout accountability buddies), eating a well balanced diet, avoiding alcohol, etc.)  The key for me is that I've always made my health and fitness goals my No. 1 priority.   That's it, there is no secret.  Its just hard work and dedication with a sprinkling of self discipline.

It was when i really changed my mindset that I began to see results.  I know how bad I wanted to achieve my goal, it took me a long time but it wasn't something I was willing to give up on.  So I ask you, how bad do you want it?  If you want it bad enough (more than you can breathe) then you will absolutely, positively most definitely find a way to make it happen!  Stop giving yourself an out!  NO EXCUSES!
