MOTIVATION

        We can all agree that self motivation is Easily the biggest downfall to achieving your goals. Stay strong and be Persistent, Consistent, and Resilient. NO EXCUSES!! Once you develop a regular routine, your habits will begin to change and even certain food cravings begin to diminish.  I often miss my gym membership because I was so use to the routine and addicted to the adrenaline rush while 'pumping iron' for 2 hours 5 days a week. That might sound extreme to some of you but I was committed to creating my own habits ASAP.  Now, this doesn't happen overnight. A bad habit can form after only 2 repetitions, where a good habit may take as little as 14 days and up to 2 months.

        Those of you that know me can verify that I was once a "candy junky" instead of a FitnessJunky. Honestly, had I not changed my lifestyle I could've easily made myself diabetic. Blame the American Diet all you want, but our cravings for sugars and salts has gotten way out of hand!

        COMMIT to a new diet regimen and don't cheat for at least 2 full weeks. That means you have to wait until day 15, not 14. But when you cheat don't go crazy (stick to a SINGLE serving size) or you'll slip right back into the bad habit.
Cut the crap and think raw. Focus on foods that look the same way they did when they left the farm and meats that are lean and whole. Ex. Chicken breast, turkey breast, tuna, tilapia ...etc NO RED MEAT FOR AT LEAST A MONTH!
