Whatever it Takes

What

Do

You

Want?



How

Bad

Do

You

Want

It?



I do not play around when it comes to my workouts and my nutrition. Muscles that work hard need serious fuel and I don't have time for spend in the gym working off junk choices.

Tonight, if you don't get a warm fuzzy feeling from my blog, it's because I am feeling edgy. I feel irritated. I feel I have failed at my goal to give the very best tools that I use to reach my goals, to you, all my  friends.

See, it breaks my heart that not everyone can afford a trainer or a gym or a nutritionist. It tears me apart when people don't have the tools they need to make the best choices they can for their health. Everyone has free will, and not everyone wants what I want or is willing to do what it takes to get it.

In my enthusiasm to treat a group collectively the way I would a singular client, I believe I have overwhelmed some dear people, and that was not at all my intent. I usually spend three months with a singular client teach each of these principles step by step and how to integrate change into their life. Also, whether I am making a meal plan for myself or for a client, I take into account their individual goals and their training plan is synched up with their menu so that they know precisely what to eat at what time of day to get the maximum effect out of their nutrition and training.

All I can do is lay open my training journals, my meal plans and say:

Here is what I do. I do it consistently. I do it to the best of my ability.

One of my favorite says is:

If you knew what I know
You would do what I do
and if you did what I did
you would get what I got

This is what I do:

I have the best team of support.

The best role models.

The best friends.

The best incentives.

I live this day to the best of my ability, so that tomorrow I will have what it takes to live that day to the best of my ability.

I am willing to work hard for what I want.

Define your goal. Find out what it takes to get it. Then do not let anything or anyone stand in your way.
