Quarter lost

Lets start this Blog with a quote:

"What gets measured gets managed" Peter Drucker

I don't know if you realized but the end march is near that means a quarter of the year is gone. it went fast didn't it? How are you going with your goals? Are you a quarter of the way there.

If your new years resolution was to shed 10 kilograms of fat by mid year and you have only 2 then that goal has become a little harder and if you keep going the way you are its unrealistic.

If your goal was to look fabulous for a wedding, a season or a holiday then you may have lost more then a quarter.

I know it is quite confronting to look at things this way because it looks like you are just losing. losing time, losing effort, losing goals, losing life but you need to confront things this way or one half of the year will be gone before you know it without you being any better off.

And don't distract yourself by thinking that well I do exercise regularly and I do eat right. The fact is that if you are not getting closer to your goals then what you are doing is wrong and there is no point to what you are doing you are just wasting time and might as well be at home watching "Days Of Our Lives" like a grandma.



Just because you are working hard does not mean its worth doing. I work at a health club and I know so many people who come to the gym for years but still look the same. Whats really sad about these people is that they don't want to change they don't even want to hear anything that is different from what they are doing.

I know one gentlemen in particular Chester (not his real name) who needs to lose more then 40 kilos or may end up with some real medical troubles. Chester comes to the gym regularly and has done this for a long time but there has been no improvement ... isn't that a wast. Many of the staff have tried to encourage Chester to get on the Clubs Excellent Why Weight program with which he is guaranteed to get rid of that fat in as little as three months and be educated to stay healthy forever Chester however does not want to do it though. It does not make any sense to us, we think he should jump on the opportunity.

Well if you are reading this then you don't have to be like Chester. If after looking at the Pie Chart above your goals are still on track then congratulations you have done good if not then things need to change.

Firstly if you are someone that has not started yet then take these quotes to heart and act now.

"The grass does not wait" Mahler

"Not knowing it all is no excuse not to start" Judy Columbus

"You can either make excuses or you can get results" Tom Venuto

"Start now with the tools you have and better tools will appear as you go along" Brian Tracy

"This is your life its not a rehearsal this is it" John Kehow

Secondly if you are someone that has already started and and have realized that what you are doing is not working then don't put your head in the sand do things better. hire a trainer, pickup a book, try some supplements do something just do it different. It may cost you some money but that is an investment the real loss would the alternative which is unachievable goals.

Underachieved goals means that the money, time, effort, the thoughts you spent pursuing your goals would be a waste. This will not happen to you of course if you assess and adjust yourself regularly.

If you are a member at Definition I would highly recommend the Why Weight Program that the club has on offer. It has a Nutrition plan, Individualized Training plan, Education, Supplemets, Accountability to a trainer, Motivation and a Guarantee to get you into shape before too much more or the year has passed.
