"It's really easy - here is all you have to do"

 Have you ever heard that before? Yeah, I have.....millions of times. 

Truth is, nothing is easy. Everything you want in life requires hard work, discipline and commitment and if you don't implement each of those, chances are, you will never really get where you want to be. 

There is a scripture in the Bible that says, "Obedience is greater than sacrifice" but I am here to tell you that with every act of obedience, there is a sacrifice that must be made. That sacrifice might come in the form of setting aside some time to study or even rest. It might come from spending time with meal planning, or setting up your workout schedule for the week. It might come in the form of telling friends that you can go out with them but you aren't going to eat and drink what they do. 

Everything you want in life you can get IF you sacrifice something. You have to choose the best over the good. 

One of the biggest misconceptions I believe I have ever heard is that going to a fitness class is the best thing to do and it makes getting in shape easier. NOT! That's an out right lie. Nothing will make getting in shape easier except for you making the decision that you are going to do what it takes to get there. 

Now granted, having friends in a class can "help" to encourage you but you still have to show up and do the work. So if you are successful, you get the credit for it, not some class. Heck not even the trainer gets the credit and I am a trainer. YOU did the work, not me. 

"People that are successful don't have workouts they have systems" JR Smith

My BioFit System is a well put together program that all you have to do is implement the program. But you still have to do the work and prepare the foods but the system is put together in such a way that all the guess work is removed and that is what I am supposed to do - remove the guess work. That's my job.

The fact is, hard work will always trump talent. So if you are looking to get in the best shape of your life for 2023, then you need to reconcile with yourself that you need to make a serious commitment and decide early on that this won't be easy, but it is so doable. And it is my job to keep you going strong and to support you during those times you find it difficult to do the right thing. And those days will come, I assure you. 

You see, I'm not going to tell you that it's all sunshine and roses. It's not. As the movie character Rocky said once, "Life will knock you down and keep you there if you let it". I can speak from experience but I kept getting back up and I am sure there are going to be days that life will try to knock me back down again. 

The Bible says that "No weapon formed against you will prosper". Weapons will be formed and there will be some fighting but those weapons will not prosper against you. You will win.

Until next time, stay strong!
