Are you ready for Rule #4 of LASTING Weight Loss?
Rule #4 is pretty awesome, but it’s a scary one...
Most people lead average lives because they don’t follow Rule #4:
To achieve anything extraordinary you have to BE BOLD.
You have to be willing to get a little uncomfortable and challenge the norms.

By the way, when you step out of your comfort zone and do something bold...sometimes you’re going to miss. I won’t say fail, because I don’t believe anything is a failure - so long as you made some progress and/or you learned from it for next time.

So, my advice for you today, and my Rule #4 for LASTING weight loss, is BE BOLD!

Instead of playing it safe and avoiding risks, commit yourself to your goal and GET AFTER IT!!

Oh, and besides the challenges and struggles, you’ll also get weird looks and probably some not so supportive comments from your closest friends & family, too - weird how that works; the people who you love and who love you the most are often the LEAST supportive… because they’re not willing/ready to be BOLD themselves!

The secret to being bold actually goes back to RULE #1: Get Clear.

Getting clear is CRITICAL because when you have a mission/WHY/purpose that’s truly meaningful to you, you’ll be able to push through/ over/ around the obstacles/ naysayers/ setbacks that you’ll inevitably encounter along your way.

I can assure you that the rewards of being bold FAR outweigh any benefit that comes with playing it safe.

When you’re crystal clear, everything else unfolds…

You get the willingness, the drive to HAVE FAITH & TAKE ACTION the ability to make the right decisions, and you’re able to get past the obstacles in your way.

It’s a beautiful thing! :-)

Rule #3 is The Simplest of the 5 Rules of LASTING Weight Loss

Are you ready for Rule #3 of my 5 Rules of LASTING Weight Loss?

So far we covered:
Rule #1: Get Clear
Rule #2: WORK!

Now, let’s talk about a SIMPLE - but not always EASY - rule…

Rule #3: Embrace Simplicity

If you want to achieve your weight loss goal and have LASTING success, then you need to simplify things.

If you make things too complicated, you won’t consistently execute, and you’ll get frustrated, burnt out and ultimately quit…

Have you ever done that before? ;-)

Sure, you need to make educated decisions and follow a well-designed program, but you can’t let the burden of too much (too much information and/or too much on your to-do list) slow you down…

It’s the same thing in life and business - You have a choice…

You can either be overwhelmed and struggle to get your massive list of things done or you can do a few things extraordinarily well.

Sure, the human body is a very complex machine and scientists and far smarter people than me have been studying weight loss for longer than I’ve been alive, but at the end of the day it really just comes down to consistently doing a few simple things really well.

In fact, we teach our clients to focus on 3 things:

Participate in an Efficient & Effective TRAINING Program
Follow a Realistic & Simple to Implement Meal Plan
Surround Yourself with a Community of Like-Minded People

Of course, each of these has its complexities and it’s taken us years of practice and implementation to figure just what works best, but at the end of the day you can start by asking yourself:

Did I exercise and/or get in enough movement today?
Did I eat real, unprocessed, whole-foods focusing primarily on protein, veggies and water today?
Did I put myself in a positive environment that supports my goals AND makes me feel good about what I’m doing? At the same time, was I able to provide support or lift someone else up who has the same goal as me?

If you lose focus and become distracted by overwhelm, you can’t be the best version of you.

So, SIMPLIFY!

Here’s another part of simplification...one that’s going to sound strange coming from me…

Clear out the information overload!

You can’t study a dozen different “experts” or jump from one program to the next.

Pick a 2-3 experts in the field that really resonate with you. Follow one program that actually makes sense and feels right in your gut...THEN STICK WITH IT!

At the same time, consider pausing your learning/following/reading/watching other non-weight loss goal oriented information. Simplify your life and focus on a few key things that are most important to you. By the way, your health & happiness should be at the TOP of the list...especially, if you want to be a great provider/supporter to your family & friends - you’re no good to them when you’re sick, tired, unhealthy...dead.

So, put all that other stuff on hold for a while...
Ignore them.
Put them in a folder or on the shelf.
DVR TV shows...see if you really miss them.
Unsubscribe from email lists - hey, if I’m not providing you the information you need to achieve your goals then I encourage you to unsubscribe from this newsletter - there’s a link at the bottom of every email I send out.

Identify what success looks like to you and come up with a plan to achieve it - COMMIT to that plan.

You can certainly refine it and update it...or better yet...simplify it. Then it’s time to focus on ex*****on.

Simplicity will lead to Clarity, which will lead to the ability to take rapid, decisive Action…

Anything else will slow or even kill your progress!

Keep it simple and HAVE FAITH & TAKE ACTION!™

Rule #2

This week I’m covering my 5 Rules of LASTING weight loss.

Monday, I discussed Rule #1. Check your email if you missed it. The subject line was “The 5 Rules of LASTING Weight Loss.”

Here’s Rule #2: WORK!

Just about every infomercial out there about weight loss tries to sell you on not having to do any actual hard work.

Sorry, it just doesn’t work (there’s that word again) that way.

Anything worth having requires work.

No exceptions.

But, most people want to find a loophole and savvy marketers will be happy to sell it to you.

If you’re not willing to work at it, then don’t bother.

Also, don’t get “paralysis by analysis” either. That’s where you spend so much time researching that you never actually implement…

I’ve also heard the excuse, “I’ll start your program when I get in a little bit better shape.”

WHAT?! Do you realize how silly that is?

So, be ready to work. Better yet, be EXCITED to work. :-)

You already know things you can take action on right now (drink more water, eat more veggies, get 10,000 steps in per day). Here’s why it’s so important you do so:

When you take action you begin to build confidence. Action breeds more action… You feel even better about yourself and your ability to succeed... so you keep taking action towards success...

If you want to feel unstoppable, do something that moves you towards your goals. NOW!

If not for the immediate results, do it for what happens in your mind - you build self-confidence and move from thinking to doing. You’re making progress...no matter how small.

As you do this, your identity becomes about being a “doer” and the positive action starts to become routine…

Once it becomes routine it leads to expansion for more action…

And, the only way to achieving LASTING weight loss is through constant action!

You have more potential that you can probably imagine (I see this all the time with clients), but unless that potential is fed by the best beliefs, attitudes, and resources...then followed up by consistent action...it remains untapped.

Tony Robbins has a Success Cycle that I think is spot on:

Here’s how it works:

You have a (perceived) level of potential, and based on that, you take action.

The action naturally yields a result.

The result you achieve enforce or reinforce your belief about your potential.

An improvement at any point in the cycle will create improvement in all parts following…

The problem is most people have a limited belief about their potential and therefore don’t take action (CONSISTENTLY) to change the results they see in their life.

This is what I love about our programs…

People HAVE FAITH & TAKE ACTION by joining, showing up consistently and following the instructions. This gives them results they never thought possible, which starts to change their belief in themselves, thus raising their potential, and round and round they go...accomplishing greater and greater success, including, but certainly not limited to, the LASTING weight loss they wanted!

So, start taking action now. You’ll start to get the results you want, and those results will feed the whole cycle.

Also, when you take action, it gives you confidence so when you’re confronted with negativity or even temporary defeat, you can withstand it and not get derailed. You learn to push through and stay on target…

Begin now by investing time in daily activities/practices that move you towards your goal...LASTING weight loss. Plan your day/week ahead, and schedule time to work (cook, eat, train, sleep, etc.) on building the healthy and fit body you want…

The 5 Rules of LASTING Weight Loss
All too often people lose weight only to quickly find it again…

Rule #1: Get Clear

At the most basic level you might think of “getting clear” as setting a weight loss goal - lose 20 pounds in 6 weeks, for example.

That’s certainly part of it, but it’s not what I’m talking about here.

The thing you need to get clear on is what does life look like when you achieve your goal…

How do you look?
How do you feel?
How do you perform?
What is your attitude like?
What is your self-esteem like?
What is your workout & nutrition plan?

Often, we just focus on the number on the scale, but the reality is you want something more…

For me, it’s to feel great in my skin, have confidence, feel strong, have lots of energy and no annoying aches & pains, especially as I get older. I enjoy eating healthy and working out regularly. I know that when I feel great, I do great.

How about you?

Here are some additional questions that might help you turn your vision into your reality…

What will you sacrifice to make it your reality?
What is truly important to you (personally & professionally)?
What is the outcome you’re dedicated to?

For me, I’m willing to devote an hour per day to workout. I also started a new morning ritual this year - I’ll share that in a future email.

To fit these in, I’ve rearranged my schedule to be much more productive. One thing I did a while back was cut back on evening TV… This allows me to get things done when I’m home (or work later when I need to), as well as get to bed earlier so I have more energy to get my workouts and work done each day.

I’ve also dramatically changed my nutrition habits (to fuel my body), quit drinking (booze wreaks havoc on your body, plus I just can’t perform after a night of drinking), and follow a pretty intense supplement regimen. My nutrition & supplementation plan would be considered “expensive” by many people’s standards… I think luxury cars and fancy clothes are too expensive… It all comes back to what’s important to you…

For me, the most important thing is my health because without it I’m pretty worthless to those who count on me (my family, employees and clients). Plus, with poor health, I can’t enjoy life, and what’s the point of living if you can’t enjoy it?

So, the outcome I’m dedicated to is performing at a high level, feeling great, looking good (hey, that’s important to me, too ;-b), and being a good example to those that choose to follow me. I plan to enjoy a long, ACTIVE life with Janell… We’re going to grow older together, not old.

What about you? What are you CLEAR about?

By the way, I’d LOVE to read your answers so reply and let me know!

Oh, and one more thing…

People around you (often your closest friends & family members) are going to doubt you...they’re going to try to kill YOUR dreams.

DON’T LET THEM!!!

You may also try some things and they won’t go quite as planned. So what?!

Earl Nightingale defined success as “the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.” If you’re working on it and moving towards it, you’re successful. :-)

Just be sure to get clear on what you want and what that looks like on a daily/weekly basis for you...

P.S. - You also need to get clear on what you need to achieve your goal… The 3 things we focus on are:
An Effective Exercise Program
A Realistic Nutrition Program
Tons of Support from Like-Minded Friends

It started happening again yesterday…

Yup. Yesterday was the day millions of people lost hope and started giving up...

February 10th. That’s the date it typically accelerates each year…

What am I talking about?

Take a look:

Culling through four years of membership check-in data from Gym locations throughout the country, they began noticing a drop-off in membership check-ins starting around February 10th. The days after saw slight decreases in membership, with the biggest drop-off taking place on February 18th, when an alarming number of consumers stopped going to the gym and quit their New Year's Resolutions altogether. (1)

So, basically over the next week gyms will start clearing out. The January Rush will turn into the February Cliff.

Why does this happen?

Well, two reasons basically:
People who try to go it alone generally find that they simply can’t.
People don’t achieve their goals in the time they think they should.

So, they quit. And, the regular gym goers snicker as the crowds thin out...

But, those are just statistics… You don’t have to be part of them.

That means the BIG QUESTION is...

What are YOU going to do?

Will this be the week you quit or will this be the week you renew your commitment?

Reply back and let me know… Also, let me know how I can HELP.

P.S. - By the way, I’ve seen it time and time again in my Three decades as a fit pro… One person quits because he didn’t hit his goal in the time he set, while another person ends up losing twice her initial goal weight because she kept going even though she missed the first goal date… Which will you be?

I wanted to share a great lesson from Tim Ferriss’s book, Tools of Titans.

This is from Coach Christopher Sommer, former US National Team gymnastics coach when Tim emailed him about his frustration with slow progress on a particular fitness program:

Dealing with the temporary frustration of not making progress is an integral part of the path towards excellence. In fact, it is essential and something that every single elite athlete has had to learn to deal with. If the pursuit of excellence was easy, everyone would do it. In fact, this impatience in dealing with frustration is the primary reason that most people fail to achieve their goals. Unreasonable expectations timewise, resulting in unnecessary frustration, due to a perceived feeling of failure. Achieving the extraordinary is not a linear process.

The secret is to show up, do the work, and go home.

A blue collar work ethic married to indomitable will. It is literally that simple. Nothing interferes. Nothing can sway you from your purpose. Once the decision is made, simply refuse to budge. Refuse to compromise.

And accept that quality long-term results require quality long-term focus. No emotion. No drama. No beating yourself up over small bumps in the road. Learn to enjoy and appreciate the process. This is especially important because you are going to spend far more time on the actual journey than with those all too brief moments of triumph at the end.

Certainly celebrate the moments of triumph when they occur. More importantly, learn from defeats when they happen. In fact, if you are not encountering defeat on a fairly regular basis, you are not trying hard enough. And absolutely refuse to accept less than your best.

Throw out a timeline. It will take what it takes.

If the commitment is to a long-term goal and not a series of smaller intermediate goals, then only one decision needs to be made and adhered to. Clear, simple, straightforward. Much easier to maintain than having to make small decision after small decision to stay the course when dealing with each step along the way. This provides far too many opportunities to inadvertently drift from your chosen goal. The single decision is one of the most powerful tools in the toolbox.

WOW! That’s powerful stuff!! I’ve read it over and over and I like it more and more each time…

I’m working through some pretty significant long-term goal setting right now (well beyond my usual annual goals), both personally and professionally. This email from Coach Sommer is definitely helping me with the process, and once I make those decisions it’s GO TIME!

If you’d like my help setting a SERIOUS fitness goal, just email me back, and we can set up a time to discuss.
