YOU can't trick this game....By: Ray Cattaneo - Owner, NASM - CPT, CES
So many people come in looking to transform, get a better body, drop weight, etc.
Herein lies the problem:
I want to drop weight ----------- I eat fast food, bread, cheese, and no vegetables daily....oh but I count my calories and consume only 800 a day.
I want results-----------------I only show up to my workouts 2 out 4 days per week and I do nothing outside of here. I'm only interested in doing the bare minimum to get by.
I really want to change -------------- I don't like all that stuff my coach/trainer is telling me so I'm going to do it my way.
"I hit a plateau" ------------I'm not tracking anything and have no idea what I'm consuming each week or day and I miss a couple sessions here and there.
I want a six pack ---------- I don't want to write down what I eat and I have no interest in working out more than 3 to 4 days a week.
"Its not working" --------> you never committed 100%.
Don't get me wrong. We are 100% responsible for trying to push you towards what you want and we will do our very best. We are available 24/7. We can't help if you don't ask. The people doing the work and constantly asking more questions and staying engaged with everything we have to offer GET RESULTS. But if you decided upfront that this was going to be easy and that you were going to put in 50%, I can't help you. It took many a decade or two to put all the excess weight or get to a point of dissatisfaction. I was one of those people....obese 200lbs in 8th grade! Don't believe me? I can show you pics! It took work to change but I committed...I know what you feel and go through but you can't expect to lose it all in 4 weeks or even 8 weeks.
No worthy accomplishment is EASY. Its SIMPLE not EASY. But you must be consistent with SIMPLE things or you can continue down the same path and think that the answer lies somewhere else. The answer is and will always be YOU. You are the one wielding the power. Our job is to help you maximize it. We are coaches not magicians. There is always a choice ---------> IN or OUT, IMPROVE or DON'T, LEARN or STAY STAGNANT, LIFESTYLE or QUICK FIX, 100% IN or FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF....
THE CHOICE IS YOURS....
Be responsible and go all in or live another day wishing you did.
