8 things about fitness I understand better now…

I have been more successful fitness wise in the last 4 months than at any time I can recall. A few friends asked me what is different now and here are a few highlights.

0. you can’t out-train a bad diet

No matter what you do, what you eat matters. Soda is the death of my fitness goals, and diet soda is worse. Water is my king. If it comes is a plastic container you had better have a good reason to eat it!

1. gym time should be work time

When at the gym, get to work, nothing bothers my success more than some chatty chappy “networking” 

2. it hurts

Sometimes it does, after 3 mos of success, the hurt is far less and I can almost feel my body feeling better.

3. i feel bad

There have been days when the last thing I wanted to do was go train, on those days training was the very best choice, EVERY TIME!
4. i failed

I always have concrete measurable goals (time or weight) in mind every time I go to the gym, I don’t often get all of them knocked off the list, but I don’t stop until I complete everything

5. my body type…

DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL, fat is fat. Lean is Lean

6. i don’t know what i am doing

yep, and often I still don’t, but I go slow watch my form and keep at it.

7. i am my own worst enemy

yes yes I am.
