Wishes Vs Goals

                                                    A Goal Without A Plan Is Just A Wish!!!

I have thought long an hard about this quote over the past week.  I have been trying really hard to make some decisions and some plans but I kept running into a problem.  NOTHING was on paper.  I was WISHING for a lot of things and nothing seemed to be happening and I was getting more frustrated.  Then the other morning, this quote popped up in the app that I use for my morning motivation post and hit me right between the eyes and dead center in the heart!  I have a hard time sharing and motivating people with quotes if I don’t “practice what I preach”.

What is the point Pam?
Ok so I will share with you what this said to me.  This does not JUST APPLY TO FITNESS!!!!  This can apply to ANYTHING!!!!!  So what better way to share what was in my head than to actually show you.

In my head it was a mess.  These are the things that were jumbled up in my brain!!!  Want to talk about OVERLOAD!!!!!  

-Kaleb adjusting to new schedule with school
-Kaleb trying to figure out where he fits in and what can we do to encourage him
-Kaleb adjusting to a totally different way of homework and reading assignments
-Bo and I placing new “Middle School Rules” in place and STICKING TO THEM!
-I need to blog!  I need to write because I LOVE IT and I WANT to share.
-Upcoming Races and where they are, when, and am I already registered or do I need to register.
-Upcoming programs that are coming out with my company
-Upcoming challenge group and some new ideas for more accountability and more fun and some really cool ideas
-Wanting more results from SHRED WEEK of LIIFT4
-Streamlining my eating and portion control.
-What will be my next program to jump on
-Pushing beyond my comfort zone and sharing my passion for what I do.

So, when you have this much “STUFF” running through your head, where in the world do you start and how in the world do you organize yourself to turn all THAT into GOALS and not just WISHES!?  It’s mentally overwhelming and can just blow your brain away with frustration and confusion and the infamous “I CAN’T DO IT ALL!!!” Then.............we QUIT!

All of this to say........I’M BACK!!!!!!  I’m READY!  LET’S DO THIS!!!!!!!  So over the next couple of post I am going to share with you what I am working on and you can see all of the ideas and plans actually fall into place and become REALITY and GOALS and no longer STRESS and FRUSTRATION!!!  My prayer is that this will help you and keep me ACCOUNTABLE!!!!!!

You Must Eat!!!!!!!

YOU MUST EAT!

You can loose weight if you don't eat!


Yes, you can.  That is not a false statement.

You can loose weight if you don't eat!

Yes, you can.

Question is what happens when you eat again?

What happens when you stop losing weight?

What happens when you are so tired and fatigued that you are miserable?

Typically binge eating will happen.  Does it happen always? No, not necessarily but I have been there and done that.  You can "not eat" for only so long until your body is going to retaliate.  It does not like being starved.  Now, you can cut calories and drink more water and control your portion sizes and do it correctly.  The key is to do it right so that it will last!!!!!  If you do a "CRASH" diet......well.....that is what you are going to do.  CRASH!!!!


You need to eat and fuel your body!  I use those awesome little portion containers.  They are incredible!  Most people FREAK OUT when they see them because the first text message or phone call is...."THEY ARE SO LITTLE!" or "ARE YOU SERIOUS?".  The key is that when you do the calculations.  You know how many of each you get everyday. You are eating clean. You are counting your containers. Your body is being fueled. You are getting exercise. You are drinking your water. YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE WEIGHT the RIGHT WAY!


The key to remember.......


You did not gain your 5-10-25-40 pounds over night.
You are NOT going to lose it overnight.
It takes hard work and accountability.


SO PLEASE............

EAT!!!!!!!!!!!
