Motivation Monday

Be Responsible! The key to being successful is being responsible. By this I mean, decide what you're going to do and DO IT! Own up to where you're at, where you want to go and how you're going to get there each day. If you decided you're running 3 times a week and strength training 2 times a week....DO IT! No more excuses or not enough time. Squeeze it in, make it work and feel good about it.

Tell me, tell a friend, tell your family your goal and be responsible to them too.

Here's a Contract I have my clients sign at the beginning of a six week session. Sign you're name and be responsible!

I think you are talking about an accountability system. Hmm, I agree those are 3 simple and sensible requirements in your contract. Do you hire out Kelly? I start going to the Rec Center in the morning and I am looking for a personal trainer. What do you charge and what is your schedule like? I ordered the book you recommend ‘Core Performance’ by Mark Verstegen and it came today.

Hinckley said, “The remedy to worry is action. The remedy to despair is service.” I think part of putting “first things first” is putting ourselves first. Learning to be selfish again and take care of ourselves. To give ourselves roses and “sharpen the saw”. Just random thoughts as I read this post.
