In order to make this transformation permanent I have to keep tight control over my attitudes and motivations for why I deny the psychological urge to eat an entire pizza or a quart of Ben & Jerry’s. When I let my motivations waver, I lose focus on the goal.
I spend a lot of time preaching my mantra to people I encounter on the street and online. How am I doing it? Eat Less… Move More. That’s it! That’s my secret to successful body transformation and to maintenance over the long haul.
The summer of 2008 has not been that easy, many stressful events that I am still working out in my own life. I lost sight of my focus and missed a goal I had set for myself. Even worse, I lost sight of the overall motivation… WHY am I doing this? I chose my drug of choice to salve a wound when I knew better. The better choice is to pack my bag and head to the gym. Plug into the iPod and sweat. Why is that the better choice? You feel GOOD afterwards. After I down a pint of B&J, I feel nauseous.
Why am I doing this? Because in 308 days I will turn 40, and I want to be DAMN SEXY!
