How Bad do You REALLY Want It? 24/84

I don't want this post to come off too harsh, but I feel like this is something that needs to be talked about. If you're trying to get fit and healthy. you're making a huge life choice and pretty much all of the other choices you make are going to affect that in some way. Everything you eat, everything you drink, how often you move, and who you spend your time with are all going to have a direct impact on your health and your waistline. This is, obviously, a really big deal and, honestly, you may need to decide how bad you really want it.

I'll explain with an example. If your trying to lose weight but you stop at a fast food place on your way home from work and get a burger instead of eating the chicken that you have at home, that means that satisfying your craving for a fast food was more important to you than losing weight. If you really want to pack on muscle but you skip the gym to stay home and nap, then napping was more important to you then getting jacked. If this happens often enough, then you need to have a real conversation with yourself and decide how bad you really want those goals. And you need to decide was it really the most important thing to you. You can't keep saying you want something and then making choices that take you in the opposite direction.

I realize everyone, especially myself, has been guilty of this many times, but it still is what it is. So many people will tell you that they really want to get healthy, but their choices blatantly show you otherwise. If losing weight, getting jacked, and being healthy are really, truly your goals, then you need to live it every single day and every choice you make needs to lead you closer to that goal, not further.

Honestly, this goes way past health and fitness as well. If you want to be successful but you spend all of your time hanging out with bums, then you don't want to be successful THAT bad. If you want to try and get in to a good school but you don't spend the necessary time on homework and studying, then you don't want it THAT bad.

So what should you do about it? Are you guilty of this as well? Then you need to think about what you really care about most. Do you care more about seeing your abs or pizza? Do you care more about making money or playing video games? These are real questions you need to ask.

After that, what you really need to do is to come up with your Why. You Why is extremely powerful and it is what is going to make you push through the hard parts, because there will be hard parts, of reaching your goal. Your Why will give you the motivation to finally be willing to do that things that you need to go to reach your goals, like start a blog (or whatever).

The sooner you can figure out your Why, the easier everything will become and the sooner you will make real progress. Your Why can be anything; financial freedom so you can see the world, the health to live long enough to be active with you grand kids, or being able to buy your mom a new car because she never could. It can be anything but is has to be deep. "I want to see my abs!" is not your Why, it's a goal but that's not your real Why. It needs to be deeper than that, because eventually you might not care about your abs anymore, so you quit. This needs to be something that is going to keep you going no matter what happens and will guarantee you success. Find your Why, write it down, and make ever choice in your life reflect that. Decide what your goals are, how bad you really want them, and what or who you're willing to give up to get there.

I know this one was a bit more serious than some of my other posts, but hopefully it gave you a little boost of motivation. I'm doing Day 2 of the Anti-Dadbod program tomorrow and I want you all to do it with me.  If you guys want the full  program, then go ahead and fill out that pop-up to get included into the list. Right now you'll also get a free copy of the Nutrition Template that I use for myself and my clients. Subscribing will also let you join the private Facebook group that I just opened (I fixed the link). This group will allow for much more engagement with each other than my Facebook page so I can make sure you guys are getting all of the info you need.

See you tomorrow!
