By Rich Tweten Im sure youve heard of the saying that actions speak louder than words. Knowledge and words alone wont get you any fabulous fat loss results at all if you dont take action! Its easy to talk about what youre going to do in order to lose fat and feel better about yourself, but it often seems more difficult to actually do something about it. Sound familiar? But trust me, taking action is only as difficult as you make it! After activating those new and empowering decisions, Im sure youre now aware that there’s more actions youll need to perform on an everyday basis. Yes, this will take more personal effort… but if you dont take the necessary action thats needed now, it will take far greater effort in the future to start living a healthier lifestyle and to deal with the painful consequences to follow. So, dont get overwhelmed by looking at all the work that needs to get done. Instead, I encourage you to focus on taking everything 1 day at a time or shall I say… 1 step at a time! By taking small but consistent steps of action on a daily basis, you’ll succeed in adopting the 10 monumental habits of action. A Tip From Rich: To participate in the following assignment, simply print off this article then write down your answers on a separate piece of paper, or type them out inside a text file as you go. Your Goal For Part 5: To learn how to improve your chances of taking the right steps of action on a consistent basis so you can lose all of your stubborn fat for life! There are 2 main reasons that people use to justify the fact that they arent taking the action thats needed in order to realize the great physical and mental results that they want to experience. Let me re-phrase that: There are 2 preventable and potentially devastating reasons! The first one is called procrastination. When people procrastinate they normally have a list of excuses as to why they arent behaving in a productive manner. They feel that those excuses are legitimate and try to live guilt free. Maybe they are legitimate excuses, yet they are still excuses! From the way I see it, the only way a person cant start to take small but consistent steps of action in order to work towards their fat loss goals is if theyre in a grave! We all have the same amount of time in a day and its up to us in terms of how we use that time. There are no dress rehearsals in life, so we should all strive to use our time as wisely as possible. The 2nd preventable and potentially devastating reason is called giving up. By giving up there is absolutely no hope for a person to realize their fitness goals and the only thing that they can do from there is to dream about what couldve been and deal with the regret and painful consequences to follow. Its obvious that you havent given up since youre reading these words right now. Therefore, well focus on the main excuses people use to cover up procrastination. Question 1: Identify all of the excuses youve used in the past and present to avoid taking the appropriate steps of action so you could work towards reaching your fitness goals. Below, youll see the top 3 reasons to write up to 3 related excuses under. Remember, that these excuses are all a form of the 1st preventable and potentially devastating reason known as procrastination. Afterwards, Id like to know how you were affected by using those excuses instead of working towards your fitness goals. Lastly, Ill provide a few tips that will help you to eliminate each excuse. Excuses related to time: Example of an excuse related to time: I told myself in the past that I didnt have the time to exercise. With the kids, work and my other responsibilities it seemed impossible to take the time to look after myself. Excuse 1: Excuse 2: Excuse 3: How I was and will continue to be affected from using those excuses: Example of how I was and will continue to be affected from using that excuse: By using that time related excuse I missed out on 2 years of my life when I could’ve been healthier while looking and feeling better about myself. If I continue to use that excuse, then Ill gain more body fat and lose more energy as a result. Affect of excuse 1: Affect of excuse 2: Affect of excuse 3: Tips from Rich on how to drop your excuses related to time: Tip 1: Ask yourself how you can afford NOT to have the time! Making the time to exercise should be near the top on your list of priorities since your body is your most precious possession. Its a possession that youll never be able to replace! By taking the appropriate action steps to improve your health and lose fat, you’ll gain more energy and will become more efficient in the day… as a result, getting more done! Tip 2: Look at your calendar and block off all the times when youre booked up with usual responsibilities. Fit in 3, 20 minute time slots for your Flex-For-Shape and Cardio-Burn workouts that are found within No FAT Lies: The Absolute TRUTH on How to Lose Stubborn Fat for Life on alternate days of the week, or even on the same days if you wish. If you cant find the time for exercise then youll need to cancel something else out that isnt as high of a priority. Also, Id encourage you to workout in the comfort of your own home, since this is more convenient than training at a gym. Make sure to use the success journal to schedule in your workouts ahead of time so youll have the peace of mind knowing that you already fit them into your schedule. Excuses related to money: Example of an excuse related to money: Currently, I dont have much money to buy a gym membership and the food I need in order to lose fat. I cant look after myself since I need to look after my family first. Excuse 1: Excuse 2: Excuse 3: How I was and will continue to be affected from using those excuses: Example of how I was and will continue to be affected from using that excuse: By using that excuse I now cant fit into my good clothes that I used to wear! If I continue to blame my lack of activity and proper nutrition on my lack of funds, then I’ll gain more fat and wont feel as good about myself. Not only that but I wont have the energy needed to deal with my family. Affect of excuse 1: Affect of excuse 2: Affect of excuse 3: Tips from Rich on how to drop your excuses related to money: Tip 1: If you cant afford to purchase a gym membership that costs roughly $25 to $45 a month, then I suggest looking for ways to fit it into your budget. Also, this applies to you if youre looking to purchase in-home workout equipment. Simply think of all the ways in which you can save money during the month. You can cut down on going out to eat, coffees, smoking etc. Keep cutting out unnecessary expenses until you can afford to use the tools that you need in order to achieve your fitness goals. As far as eating the right food goes, this shouldnt be a problem for you financially since good food doesn’t cost more than unhealthy food and you can always cut coupons! Tip 2: If youre truly living on a shoestring budget then I encourage you to invest in a reasonably priced set of free weights, a bench and a stability ball that should have a one-time cost of $200, or less. This way you wont need to buy a gym membership or more expensive in-home workout equipment and can still take the action thats needed in order to get great results from using this system! Excuses related to a lack of energy: Example of an excuse related to a lack of energy: At this time in my life I dont have the energy to exercise, due to my hectic work schedule. Excuse 1: Excuse 2: Excuse 3: How I was and will continue to be affected from using those excuses: Example of how I was and will continue to be affected from using that excuse: By using that lack of energy excuse I havent gained energy in the day and its only got worse. If I continue to use that excuse then I fear that Ill become heavier and my performance will suffer as a result. Affect of excuse 1: Affect of excuse 2: Affect of excuse 3: Tips from Rich on how to drop your excuses related to a lack of energy: Tip 1: If you have a lack of energy, then realize that theres a reason for that. Could it be possible that you have low energy due to the fact that theres not enough activity in your life? Yes, a more active body is a more energetic one! The new activities that your body isnt used to, force you to become stronger and more fit. Everyday activities become easier as a result.
