Is this you?

THE 8 REASONS YOU FAIL:1. NO FOCUS: you didn't set goals, you didn't put your goals in writing, and or you didn't stay focused on your goals daily(by reading them, affirming them, looking at a vision board, etc.)2. NO PRIORITIES: you may have set a goal, but you didn't put it on or near the top of your priorities list. For example, your goal is six pack abs, but drinking beer and eating fastfood on the weekend is higher on your priorities list than having a flat stomach.3. NO SUPPORT SYSTEM: you tried to go at it alone; no buddy system, training partners, family, spouse, friends, mentors or coaches to turn to for information and emotional support when the going got tough.4. NO ACCOUNTABILITY: you didn't keep score for your own accountability - with a progress chart, weight record, measurements, food journal, training journal, and you didn't set up external accountability (ie, report to someone else or show your results to someone else)5. NO PATIENCE: you were only thinking short term and had unrealistic expectations. You expected 10 pounds a week or 5 pounds a week or 3 pounds a week, so the first week you lost "only" 1 or 2 pounds or hit a plateau, you gave up. 6. NO PLANNING: you winged it. You walked into the gym without having a workout in hand, on paper, you didn'tplan your workouts into your weekly schedule; you didn't have a menu on paper, you didn't make time (so instead you made excuses, like "I'm too busy") 7. NO BALANCE: your diet or training program was too extreme. You went the all or nothing, "I want it now" route instead of the moderate, slow-and-steady wins the race route.8. NO PERSONALIZATION: your nutrition or training program was the wrong one for you. It might have worked for someoneelse, but it didn't suit your schedule, personality, lifestyle, disposition or body type.So there you have it - 8 reasons why most people to fall off the wagon! Have you been making these mistakes? If so, the solutions are clear and simple: focus, prioritize, get support, be accountable, be patient, plan, balance and personalize.Train hard & Expect success!

BRRRRRRRRRRRR

Well, the weather outside is frightful but its almost the end of January and 4 months away, summer arrives. Will we be delightful? Molly, you being the exception, we should be kickin some butt. I know we get disenchanted but you have to pull up by the boot straps. Kel, your right. 8 weeks till spring. A little over 20 till the official kickoff to summer. Being very conservative you can lose 10 pounds by spring break and 25 by summer. Again, thats being conservative. I look forward to seeing you all Sunday eve. Molly......you my friend are on my mind and in my prayers.

Not kickin ass...

I am not succeeding this week. I do not do well under stress and with the loss of Abbey on Wednesday and my very frustrating appointment Thursday and my upcoming spinal tap Monday, I can't say I've been vigilant. More like eating to soothe..... I'm disappointed but not out of the game yet..... Plus Aunt Flo is coming so "the girls" hurt and I'm retaining. What a crappy week. Not to be a whiner... But my weigh in won't be pretty....

I am rockin this week ladies!

Hello everyone,
I am on a roll now...I have worked out every day except yesterday. I am actually pretty glad that I took a break yesterday because I am sore. Hope all of you are kickin ASS. Let's get skinny ladies. 11 weeks until spring break.
Love yas
Kel
