The Before And After Project - Step 3
OK - from the emails I've been getting - it looks like there are going to be some great stories to be told and 'after' photos to look at.
Regarding the emails - please understand if you have not received a personal response form me - I get hundreds of emails every day - it is humanly impossible to respond to all of them - although I do try to return as many as I can during lunch, etc.
Today is Friday & you should have weighed in this morning (& taken other measurements if you wish) - the idea is to beat that number on Monday (this will help keep you focused on the weekend) - iF weight loss is your goal. But do keep in mind - for those who are not seeking to lose weight - make note of the other factors that are important to you - this should all be going into your journal.
At this point you should reflect on the past few weeks.
-What has gone well?
-What hasn't worked for you?
-Etc.
You want to focus on the things that have worked & aim to replace the things that have not.
For example - our environment has an impact on our behavior. Do you find that you eat and drink more when you are in certain locations or in the presence of certain people? If so, you either have to exhibit more control in these situations or YOU MUST REPLACE THEM.
And yes, sometimes that means looking for new friends - friends that are of the same mindset. But not always. - On occasion - your actions may be the wake up call someone close to you needs, in order for them to get their own act together. So I leave the rest of that up to you (for now).
A few emails came in with the basic question, "Joey, how can I make this easier."
A good question - and here is a better answer.
If you think (and tell yourself) something is tough or difficult - then it is.
But if you tell yourself "This is easy - its not a problem for me."
Then guess what - IT IS EASY !!
What you think - actually is. You get it?
IF you TRULY want to creat your personal 'Before And After' Success story - then every single though and action should be laser focused on (not making it happen) but LETTING it happen.
A challenge is only a challenge if you tell yourself it is. Now, I'm not saying a physical transformation can happen overnight (it can in the mind) but if your plan of action is in place and your mindset is positioned properly - it is ONLY a matter of time before you realize you are moving closer to where you want to be (and further away from where you do not want to be).
So, I leave you with this...
Know that you control your every thought & action - NOBODY ELSE.
Use this weekend to keep the good things going and to make a schedule, a plan, for next week and maybe even beyond next week.
Send your emails if you wish - I do read all of them.
Set your sites on mid Sept. as the goal date.
Please note (here is some motivational fuel for you) - one male and one female will be chosen to be on the cover of the book with the other success stories going into the book.
As always - please forgive me for the typos.
Be Fit!
