Oh dear, Comrades....
I did my measurements today and things have not changed....having lost only one kilo in the last 10 days and actually gained 2cm overall. What is happening here?
I am excercising, staying away from the banned list and feeling committed, though really really sad about the limited impact so far. Sure, I feel better and more flexible and all the rest, but I want results.
Perhaps I am still getting too much sugar in the form of dried fruit between meals, and it is possible that the brazil nuts I am eating do not work for my body, so I am going to give them all the chop from now and do an even stricter detox. And if after 10-30 days I am still not getting results I will panic. Seriously.
I have been doing some thinking about my personal comfort zone in the light of the words of Paul Mort, who has helped me greatly......
''I must give credit for some of this e-mail to my friend Shondelle myles over in LA who first introduced me to motivational speaker and Guru Les Brown. (You must check out some of his stuff on youtube by the way!)
He recently made this AMAZING statement that is so, so true!
'If you do what's hard, your life will be easy. If you do what's easy your life will be hard'
WOW!
This is soooo simple, yet totally inspires me. It applies not only to EVERYTHING in life but HUGELY to our health, fitness and fat loss goals.
Everything you’ve ever wanted really is just outside your comfort zone but what are you REALLY prepared to do to make your goals a reality?
Getting up in the morning to train is HARD
Doing interval training rather than power walking or jogging is HARD
Motivating yourself to exercise after a long day at work is HARD
Avoiding the many tempting foods that make you gain fat is HARD
Writing down what you eat and eating every 3 hours is pretty HARD
Drinking 3 litres or more of water a day can be HARD
Endless reps of push-ups, lunges and squats are HARD.
Making better choices when you eat out is HARD
Skipping dessert and the glass of wine at dinner is often HARD
However, in the bigger picture, pushing yourself to do these HARD things DEFINITELY make your life easier and all together more enjoyable by:
• Giving your confidence and self esteem a massive boost
• Turbo Charging your metabolism making it EASIER to burn fat
• Boosting your energy making everything you do a little easier
• Eliminating many medications you might be taking for diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol
The bottom line is, eating right, exercising regularly, and taking time for yourself to IS sometimes HARD, but the benefits you will reap will FAR outweigh the discomfort you feel in the moment.
Do what is hard and reap the benefits
After all- Everything You Have Ever Wanted IS Just Outside Your Comfort Zone'
