Batter Up!
In today’s fast-track world, it seems everyone is on auto pilot with two speeds pre-programmed: full throttle (8-5 work arena) and crash & burn (after 5 couch potato). And if we can’t see the finish line at the start of the race, we assume the role of spectator rather than competitor. In life, when the “going gets tough” we have a natural tendency to let ourselves and others off the hook relatively easy or manifest a “top 10” assortment of reasons justifying quitting.
It’s no different when it comes to diet and exercise. When we have a bad day after having succumbed to that tantalizing dessert calling out our name, we often resort to self-loathing or throwing in the towel altogether vs. getting right back in the game with a fresh set of strikes. It’s no best-kept secret that quitting is not the path to success in baseball or in life, so when things get tough, you need to pull yourself up by the boot straps and step up to the batter’s box to take your best swing as there’s no guessing the pitch or outcome of swing if you’re absent altogether. The same basic principles of baseball apply to life. If you don’t step up to life’s batter’s box, there’s only one guaranteed outcome — failure.
What is the secret to success in completing a 12-week diet and exercise program? You must step up to the batter’s box and make a strong “commitment” as though it were a contract of employment and stick with it. You may hate it, may not want to get out of bed in the morning, complain about the commute to the nearest gym or walking trail, etc., but at the end of the week you know you’re going to collect on something BIG in exchange for all your hard work; a paycheck for deposit. And, we both know what happens when you’re a no show. The deposits are much smaller, or even worse, you do not pass Go. You collect nothing, just like the Monopoly board game.
So what do you collect on in exchange for diet and exercise? Not only will you gain a new zest for life with less aches and pains, but you will also incur less health care costs, which means more savings and money in your pocket! After all, exercise is the best form of preventive medicine and one of the few things in life that is actually free and without hidden charges. Commit today and melt away those last few unwanted pounds from your mid-section in just 12 short weeks. If you’re expecting to achieve quick results with half hazard efforts or loose commitment, this program is not designed for you.
I’ll be sharing my favorite whole food recipes and exercise regimen over the course of the next 12 weeks so be sure to follow regularly. You will not be counting calories on this program but rather incorporating a balanced diet in the form of nutritious whole foods rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, along with moderate-intensity physical activity and plenty of hydration.
