Friends......

There is absolutely no way that we could maintain Healthy LifeStyles if we didn't have the support of friends and family.  The accountability factor for me personally is GIGANTIC!!!!!  I have a super friend named Danielle that I met when I was working at the hospital.  She is an incredible RN and so much fun to be around.  She and her husband Adam have a company called Team Genetics.  Her husband is a body builder preparing for the Arnold Classic.  They both have so much knowledge and just want to share it. 

As most of you know, I have an accountability group on Facebook and the women are incredible.  We laugh, encourage, challenge, keep each other on our toes, ask questions and all the time learning how to create this Healthy LifeStyle.  Adam posted something on his page the other day that I thought was wonderful.  It was encouraging and challenging at the same time.  I asked if I could share and they said SURE!  So here is what Adam had to say.....

I know that I have been basically just posting up progress pictures and whatnot lately, and most of you out there assume that the transformation I am going through is all about the work I put in at the gym. True, that is a substantial portion of it. However, none of that gym-time would yield the results I so eagerly pursue to achieve without something more crucial, something more important, and something more meaningful molding who I am today. I am talking about the foundation that keeps the motivation alive, and the thought of failure at bay. The foundation is YOU, ME, ...and the belief that I (as in yourself) can achieve ANYTHING you want to achieve. It all starts from within.
Anyone can go to the gym and bang out a workout. Anyone can eat the right foods and take the right supplements. It’s having the mental preparation and constant need to not only NOT FAIL YOURSELF, but to NOT FAIL THOSE AROUND YOU which will give you the outcome you so desire. I often hear excuses. “I’m too tired to____,” or “I just don’t have the time to____.” That’s CRAP! No one said that gaining success, whether in life or with a short-term goal was going to be easy! HECK, if it is easy, then you obviously didn’t set your goals high enough and maybe need to rethink your mindset.
Now, how can YOU keep that mental fortitude and drive alive, you may be asking?? Simple. Not only set that goal, today, not tomorrow or next week or next month….no, TODAY! And then tell someone close to you what that goal may be. For instance, if you are wanting to achieve a better physique, tell some people around you that in 4 months you are going to do a competition, be it bodybuilding, figure, strongman, etc. THIS will hold you accountable. This will give you the drive to, now, not only prove to yourself that YES you can indeed sculpt a new outer you, but that now others are expecting you to!!
Do this with every goal you set, especially if it is one that may need some outside motivation to keep alive!
How about this….state, right here, right now, ONE goal you would like to achieve this calendar year, and I will hold you accountable to it. Let’s see those goals come rolling in people!
THE FIRST DAY OF ACHIEVING YOUR GOAL STARTS…….NOW!!

You can't help but be pumped after reading that!!!!!!  I just loved it!!!!!  THANK YOU ADAM!!!!!!

Post your goals.....Let's get this done!!!!

Game On,
