When you feel like you cant go on, when you cant do any more....


My profession is Fitness Trainer and Healthy Lifestyle Coach. I specialize in transforming lives, helping people with weight management/loss, self image and self esteem issues [mainly for women]. Many don't know this, as I usually write about life, love, passion and I tend to post spiritually inclined messages. However, weight, self, and body management has very little to do with the mere physical realms of life. If it were the case, I would not have a job ... smile :)

It is HARD to lose weight. It is HARD to get in shape, even harder to STAY in shape. It is HARD to stick to a disciplined routine, when we run out of excuses to enjoy egg whites and cant figure out another way to make a mixed green salad exciting or to pull in another 30 minutes on the treadmill.... We all have limits so to speak that often have the strength to stop us at the worst times - when we are just inches away from the END; the PRIZE.

What I teach my clients (this is where the famous LOVE/HATE relationships are born, strengthen, and come alive) is, When you feel like you cant go on or you cant do any more...; you CRANK IT UP A NOTCH. You work harder, you stand taller, you speak louder, you fight braver. YOU CRANK IT UP A NOTCH.

As an example, when you feel like you cant fight the traffic at 5 PM do you just stop on the highway, do you speed up and slam into the guy in front of you? No. You take a deep breath, find a way to make the way to your destination enjoyable, and drive it home - you make it happen. Because THAT is what you are set out to do. Unless you fancy a night on the roadside instead of your comfy bed with someone who makes your sleep even sweeter.

So next time you complain how hard it is to stick to your fitness/diet program, or the thought of th e treadmill makes you see double and freeze your steps, or you feel like you have nothing more to give to a situation that claims beyond your all, just CRANK IT UP A NOTCH. Reach beyond your[self], raise your bar you set on yourself. You will be amazed what you are capable of. And THAT is going to be only the beginning of your true potential.

Make it happen!
