Short and Sweet

I want to talk about a few quotes I heard this week that really stuck with me and I wanted to share.

 

I was chatting with my Tony Robbins coach the other day and we were talking about how quitting is a habit - and that reminded me of this great video I had watched from Brian Tracy in which he goes on to explain that QUITTING IS A HABIT.

 

But what's even worse, is that when you quit something, ESPECIALLY fitness, you aren't quitting on the gym you are quitting on yourself. You're giving up on you....


Old Ziggy

Old Ziggy

While typing away for a few clients, I was listening to some good old Zig Ziglar stuff, which I hadn't listened to for a while, but man is he ever the best.

 

I’m a huge fan. God rest his soul, he’s since passed, but his material is priceless and timeless.

 

The phrase that triggered this newsletter was this:

 

“If I choose to overeat today, I choose to be overweight tomorrow.” Zig Ziglar

 

Talk about cutting to the chase. That's such a good phrase to repeat to yourself over and over...

 

Have you ever lost 1000...


Yes You Can!

Yes You Can!

You, yes you, you can! Didn't anyone ever tell you that?

 

Yes, YOU can…Turn your dreams into reality.

 

I thought I'd take a second to tell you how awesome you are. Yes, my little doubter, I'm talking to you. No one else matters more than you.

How Tall?

How Tall?

How tall will a tree grow?

As tall as it can!

 

Have you ever seen a tree grow half as much as it could? I haven't.

 

I've been listening to a lot of Jim Rohn lately and it seems every phrase he says I think to myself "I need to put that in a chapter and tell people!” so if you haven’t already, I strongly recommend you pick up ANYTHING Jim Rohn.

 

So, what does he have to do with fitness? Nothing. And everything.

 

He talks a lot about attitude, and I am a strong...


Where’s Home?

Where’s Home?

Have you ever noticed how when you try (try, what a silly word, try) to lose weight, you may lose a few pounds but you always seem to go back to roughly the same weight?

 

Let's say you weigh 200 pounds, with a goal weight of 150 pounds, but you've "always been 200 pounds", without a serious psychological shift and a change in identity, until you see yourself as 150 pounds, guess where you will end up again?

 

It's like this one client I had... She was always complaining she couldn't lose weight, she tried everything, she...
