The time is short

Scott Schwab:
Attention challengers, there is only approximately one week left until we get results. Now this is the time to push hard and make sure the work that you have done to this point works for you.
If you haven't done a cleanse to this point, I would recommend doing one. It is a great way to lose weight healthily and get your body in check. It will also show that when the tough gets going the going gets tough.
With the Holidays upon us, it is time to implement the good habits that will help us through the holidays. Do you know that on average most people gain between 5-15 pounds during the holidays and winter months. Part of this is due to inactivity with the weather changing, but the other part is our eating habits.
Choose to eat the things that will allow you to be. What I mean by that, is choose to eat the things that will reflect the way that you would like to look. Obviously I am not considering outside factors of parties, lifestyle, thyroid problems, weight problems. However, I do believe that a person can achieve exactly what they want to achieve by making the thing they want the most the thing they think about, dream about, and work for daily. Please do not think I am only talking about being thinner. This applies to all areas of your life.
Being happy is what is most important. Finding balance and setting goals is the way to happiness. My happiness is probably not your happiness. This is why we try and post on a wide variety of exercises, thoughts, mental health objectives, etc. To obtain results, you must sacrifice. Sometimes sacrifices are small and other times they are large. In reference to our health it usually deals with consistency with eating, time spent exercising or burning calories, and determination.
But what about this crazy busy world we live in? What about my priorities? What about being happy with relaxing? All good concerns, but not good enough to sacrifice health. As we have seen with Drew Manning, just over 6 months he has put on 60+ pounds. Incredible, when you think he has been eating like the common American with no exercise.

Make time for the things that are most important. In a U.S. Today poll given the most important thing to people polled is family and friends. Specifically associations with people who add to their quality of life. Interestingly enough quality of life stems from multiple areas, but the major factor is mobility and freedom to do. Mobility comes from exercise as well as freedom to do. Exercise is also the key to happiness through the releasing endorphins which.
In short exercise, find a way and find a time and find your motivation. Motivation is external and internal. Find both so you are more likely to succeed. Set goals that are both practical and obtainable. Then post these goals where you can see them. Next work on a schedule that will allow you to drink plenty of liquids and eat 6 times per day. In this way I can guarantee you results.
