Do you Believe in yourself?

This is ABSOLUTELY true. If you don’t believe in you then how are you going to be successful.

Listen I know we have all failed in the past. But this is an OPEN BOOK test. If you follow the basic principles you will not fail.

Education 
Preparation 
Fitness
Mental strength

We can all succeed by using the 4 keys to our advantage.

(Educate) yourself. Don’t just believe what I am saying research it. There are a lot of know it alls in this journey.  Do yourself a favor and do the research to see who knows what they are talking about and who doesn’t.  And always keep in mind what works for one person may not work for you.  This isn’t a cookie cutter process.  Each individual is different.  

(Prepare) Daily and weekly preparation is key. Weigh your foods. Measure your water intake. This key is sometimes overlooked but it’s one of the most critical keys to success.  I can’t stress prepping your food.  Its been one of the biggest keys from myself.  Take a Saturday or Sunday and cook 3 to 4 meals.  Then you have NO EXCUSES on eating clean during the week. 

(Fitness) As much as you may hate working out is a necessary evil. And before you know it you’ll enjoy it.  Start small and increase your workouts over time.  No one is expecting you to walk into the gym and bench press 500 pounds.  Start with the treadmill or light weights.  The goal is to get your core stronger and to get better endurance.  And my rule of thumb here is never miss more than two days in a row without working out.  

(Mental Strength) And you have to be mentally strong. That is the true test of who you are and who you will be. Your demon is hard at work.  It wants to get back to what it loved.  Stay firm and know you are doing this for yourself and your family.  You are stronger than your demon. 

Keep Pounding!!!
