I often get asked, how did you get in shape? Here’s how..

I Decided That…

...I was tired of being unhappy with the mirror.

...excuses weren’t helping me.

...fitting into my clothes felt better than eating pizza.

...I take impeccable care of my children and I deserve the same treatment.

...I hated feeling invisible.

...I hated feeling tired.

...success isn’t just for “other” people.

...my children would be just fine if I took an hour or so to workout.

...I was tired of the preoccupation with my weight.

...I didn’t like feeling out of shape even though I worked out.

...if I took the time I spent worrying about my body, and put it towards smarter workouts, I’d probably make better progress.

...mediocre wasn’t good enough.

...this time I was going to go forward and I wasn’t going back.

...I was tired of trying to figure out what to eat every day.

...I would find out exactly what the equipment at my gym was for.

...smaller clothes looked better on me.

...I didn’t like the shape of my butt and I wanted to change it.

...scales are bad and I wouldn’t measure my worth by it’s number.

...to change my body I had to change how I talked to myself.

...I would embrace the notion that I had to eat to make gains.

...carbs were not the enemy and were not the reason for my layer…I was.

...I was the boss of food, not the other way around.

...I could do it.

...I was worth it.
