I just wanted to share something to many of you that need a little motivation to get healthy. Anyone who has had trouble losing weight. I had a personal trainer for about 2 years (when I was 31.) He trains NHL players. He's trained Brendan Morrison, Kyle Turris, Brad Winchester, Corey Abischer, Pavel Bure, etc. This guy is IT if you want to be fit, lean and strong as an Ox! So.... you know when you get overweight and you just have no idea where to start? I had a similar problem where I wanted to gain muscle and get to 10% body fat. It's not easy and takes a LOT of work to put on real, lean muscle and it was such a simple answer for my trainer. I said "what's it gonna take?" He says "about a year or more to gain that kind of mass." And I'm thinking are you F'n kidding me?! I said " Oh my God, forget it, that's forever." His response? "A year is gonna pass anyway." Wow!! It hit me and stuck with me forever and I trained hard with him and never quite got to the size I wanted but man did I get strong, ripped and fast. I felt amazing! BUT... I ended up hurting my neck one day doing simple curls. The doctor told me it really had nothing to do with the curls and that it was going to happen anyway. I didn't work out for years because of my neck. It was the worst pain I've ever experienced. I checked myself into the Eagle Ridge ER. I was down in the dumps for a long time. Anyway.... I'm finally back at it and am going to gain the muscle I want. I started yesterday. So the moral of the story is: TIME WILL PASS ANYWAY SO YOU MIDASWELL BE DOING SOMETHING WHILE IT PASSES! STICK WITH IT!!! 90 days! You will be hooked "when" you make a commitment to yourself to DO IT! So do it. Make yourself accountable for the things you eat and get to the gym. Write everything you eat down in a journal. If you can't get to the gym... who cares? Don't beat yourself up and give up. Keep eating great and get there the next day. A YEAR IS GONNA PASS ANYWAY. Do it for you. :-) People are so full of excuses but it really comes down to actually wanting something. "Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure." M.
