"Spring is Here Get off The Damn Couch, Leave The Television Alone, and Start Moving"

It's been a few days since I've posted here. Usually, you won't read any post from me here about the so-called "Military Boot Camp Jerk", but today I have to tell it to you like it is.

If you are too sensitive and emotional please stop reading this one now because the truth will hurt you a little bit. It's for your own good, so.. Here I go :) !

Well, spring has finally arrived right. Not quite, but in a few more days. What are you still waiting for? You get up every single day without a specific goal for your body weight, your waist line, nor your fitness level. That must be a shame, don't you think?

In fact, you've been blaming the economy for quite sometime now. Even worse, your good friends and family members have been getting the same verbiage from you as well. Hey! if you love your couch so much and all the bad foods you keep on eating every single day, don't blame society and technological advancement for your obesity misery or your lack of shape - blame yourself because you refuse to do something about it. Seriously, don't you think it's time to wake up.

Yes my friend, when are you going to stop blaming everyone for your lack of will, desire and success. Interestingly enough, if you were to take your first step today, you'll be closer to that weight loss or toning your body. I know! I know! it's easier said then done, right. We hear this one all the time. The truth is, it is actually easier once you take the very first step and stick to your "statement of purpose".

Please mark what I said here "statement of purpose" not goals. In my opinion goals are outdated, require a lot of work, which is one of the reason why many people quit or fall by the way side. A statement of purpose on the other hand defines your set of goals very clearly with specificity and efficiency.

Here's an example. "On June 3rd my body fat percentage will be at 10% and I will be 10 pounds lighter. Going to the gym or exercise at home 3 times a week for the next 2 months will help me get there. On that same day, June 3rd, I will go out with a couple of friends to celebrate how much more define my arms are, how much happier I am because my cellulite on my left thigh is gone, and because my trunk section is finally where I wanted it."

This example above is simple and more like a "statement of purpose" something you should write out in a notebook or type, print it out, keep it close to you and read it almost everyday. This help you accomplish three critical things.

Number 1: It helps you become more positive towards the end result of your specific goal.

Number 2: It helps you ingrain the statement into your subconscious mind that it becomes second nature, meaning you won't forget it, and you'll know exactly why you can't quit when you face bad obstacles.

Number 3: It helps you stay focus on your target "what you really need" rather than "what you really want"

Alright! well, what are you waiting for, don't keep analyzing what I wrote here, get your piece of paper, write down your "statement of purpose", come up with your action plan, leave the couch alone and the television alone for a few minutes a week, then get started for spring.
