Staying Motivated Season After Season Is Crucial

Do you know the secret to staying motivated to diet and exercise properly?

Seriously, I mean the one thing that no one calls out and says, “Hey, listen up, this is the 1 thing people need!!”

Hold on tight. Maybe you should sit down.

Are you ready for the secret exercise tip?

The key to staying motivated is the staying part.

Getting motivated is the obvious goal, but the secret is staying motivated.

Don’t believe it? Try living the rest of your life in good health.

Try Not To Complain

Last Week In Houston At A Red Light
Last Week In Houston At A Red Light

What good does complaining do? Does it make the complainer shine like a beacon of hope for others? Does it inspire people to give their absolute best?

You know, sometimes it might. Complaints can put things in the spotlight that may otherwise get swept under the rug. But it’s rare that complaining has a positive outcome.

Mostly, it just sounds like an excuse and a defense mechanism to shroud our fear of success.

Haven’t run in 7 days. Haven’t been to the gym in six. Pathetic.

Except for one thing. I get the opportunity to do them both. Today. How glorious is that? The woman in the photo perhaps can only dream of missing a week of exercise.

How has your health been the past few days?

How often does it cross your mind?

Never? Rarely? One a year? Occasionally?

All day, everyday?

What if it did?

And what if it was so habitual, you weren’t even conscious of all the healthy choices you make?

Is It Worth It?

It's A Bear Trying To Find Time & Motivation
It's A Bear Trying To Find Time & Motivation

People are working harder than ever at work to make ends meet. Some are doing so with their salaries reduced. This hardly seems fair, does it?

Stopping at Gold’s Gym on the way home from the airport last Friday, a friend was there who’s made great progress with losing weight and toning up.

People often consider my approach too basic, too repetitive, and sometimes, too lofty.

I’ll bet a dollar, this person will revert back to the old routine, the less healthy, less effective, lower health-metric lifestyle. Say, in a year, maybe two. Why? Because it’s harder these days than ever to find time and willpower to get and stay healthy.

One last thought, hope I lose the bet.

He Asked Me Yesterday

Just Move It
Just Move It

He leaned over and said, “Can I ask you something?”

“Sure”, I said without hesitating, so I stopped typing on the keyboard and turned his way.

He continued, “One of my bucket list items is to do a race and I’m not sure what distance to choose”.

I suggested a 5k, and gave him Track Shack’s website. He’ll walk his first 5k, and if he’s really lucky, he’ll become motivated to do another.
