Are You Stacking The Deck Against Yourself?

End Needless Frustration With One Simple Adjustment.

If presented with the opportunity to live in a 25,000 square foot mansion for the same cost of a studio apartment; what would you do? You’d likely and rightfully say to yourself; “this is too good to be true, what’s the catch?” But what if there wasn’t any “catch”. Would you take the mansion, or would you live in fear ‘knowing’ the deal was simply “too good to be true”, and opt-out? Sadly, most would opt-out.
Imagine how you would feel years later when you heard about the person who took the deal you passed up. Someone moved into the mansion and it cost them the same as a studio apartment and they had been having the time of their life, enjoying all the fun, and benefits of the mansion, while you went back to living like a caged animal in your dinky studio because your perception of the deal was incorrect. “Ugh! That could have been ME”…You passed up the good life simply because you thought, “There has to be a catch.”

This is not a far fetched concept. Virtually everyone who comes to Fitness Mojo is under the assumption that eating healthy is restrictive, boring, and un-enjoyable when the reality is...eating healthy IS enjoyable, interesting, and full of options and benefits, much like living in a mansion. The trick is to understand the facts. The facts are your knowledge of nutrition is about as vast as a one room studio apartment. So if you want to end your frustration with your health, stop battling with your waistline, and regain your self confidence, you’ll need to change your situation.

Exercise (Weight Training specifically) is the key to shaping and toning your body and elevating your metabolism, and stimulating specific neurotransmitters which accelerate your fat loss efforts. IT IS THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH. And multiple studies have proven that short, intense exercise is immensely more effective than long, boring and slow. If you can read a magazine while doing it, you’re getting less return on your investment. Nutrition is what keeps your weight under control namely because the better it is, the more finely tuned your body is. Specifically, your hormones and neurotransmitters. Often it is your very habits that cause you to have less energy, allergies, and weight issues. Since you already eat, why not eat foods that taste good, fill you up, and turbo charge your metabolism?

Your perception of Exercise and Nutrition will make or break your efforts. These are the facts. Our program is 30 minutes and we’ve help hundreds of clients exercise and eat smart. They’ve learned how to end diet insanity and they in turn end their frustration and weigh less than those that are battle with food all the time.
When you learn how to get more out of your exercise in less time, and enjoy eating meals that taste good, help you lose weight, and improve your health; it’s Easy to Be Successful. But if your perceptions are skewed, if you fail to accept that learning to become healthy successfully is a process, the chances of a successful lifestyle transition are very difficult, and years of unnecessary frustration are not only likely but inevitable...

The best way to be successful is to look at your situation with fresh eyes. When you really understand the facts, you won’t struggle anymore. And every time you try to “eat healthy” or start exercising, you won’t stack the deck against yourself. When you change how you look at healthy eating and living, you’ll see faster results with less effort, thus your margin of success will increase greatly. Because it doesn’t SUCK!!!

Here are some common misconceptions about good nutrition and healthy habits:

  • Healthy Eating Sucks!
  • Time, Time, Time, I have no Time.
  • I don’t want to change my lifestyle
  • I’d rather be miserable than have to eat tofu.
  • Healthy food doesn’t taste good.
  • Eating a balanced meal is difficult?
  • Organic food? I’m not a hippie.
  • I don’t have time to eat Breakfast?
  • I don’t eat breakfast because I’m not hungry in the morning.
  • I’ll have to start eating better, No more ______ for me.
  • I have to start eating healthy, I have to give up everything I love to eat.
  • I can’t take lunch.
  • I don’t have time to cook.
  • Everything I like to eat isn’t good for me.
  • I don’t like vegetables.
  • All my fresh food spoils before I eat it.
  • I have business dinners often, and I have to drink alcohol.
  • I have business dinners often; it’s hard to eat healthy.
  • I Love sweets, I don’t want to give that up. I want to enjoy myself.
  • And on and on...

How many of these do you say to yourself?
I ask all my clients to consciously focus on this when they begin their training program at Fitness Mojo. If you think eating healthy is miserable, that’s an opinion… not a fact. And that type of thinking will lead to continued frustration and likely failure. Isn’t it time you started living the good life? Your one simple adjustment is to stay open minded and stop stacking the deck against yourself.

Here’s how you’re going to do it. About, 20% of what you do causes 80% of your problems. That’s critical to understand. During the course of the next 4 weeks we will work with you to identify the 20% so you start to achieve results without driving yourself nuts. As you read this, I hope you are breathing a sigh of relief, because you’re about to learn why so many of our clients are not only successful, but why they are maintaining their success.

After more than 43,678 sessions, the clients that change faster and with less effort are those that are determined to develop new habits. It’s not a quick fix that involves radically turning your life upside down so you’re miserable. So remember, this takes consistent focus and soon you’ll see things with a fresh perspective. Be patient, in just 8-12 weeks, you’ll be amazed by what you will accomplish.
