Transformation Inspiration

Jillian Michaels once said, "The past doesn't define you, your present does. It's okay to create a vision of the future because it affects your behavior in the "now," but don't dwell on past mistakes. Learn from them and focus those lessons in the moment. That’s where change can really happen." Your past doesn't have to define your future. There are several lessons that we need to learn from. We will take a look at some inspiration tips and lessons that will really get you going on your transformation process. 



1. Goals 
Set and have goals that are attainable or reachable. The great coach and legendary football genius, Vince Lombardi put a point of view of goals in this way, “Success demands singleness of purpose.” This means that in order to succeed, we first have to put and have a purpose in a single goal. This can be something small for right now. Have a goal to lose five pounds in the first month. Goals are mini steps to get to the bigger steps life changing events that will provide the transformation that we need!

2. Shopping
Look at smaller clothes that you want to fit into. Let the clothes be another goal and something that you look forward to after losing some weight. Most of us want to lose weight for looking better in clothes, swimwear, for a wedding or special occasion, but the point is that we want to look better in clothes. Go shopping and take pictures of smaller clothes that you want to fit into eventually. This is a great visual for those that need some inspiration.

3. H2O
Drink enough water to feel better in your life and to help your body run at top performance. You will feel so much better after you get to the point of feeling energized and exuberant. Our body is made of 75% water! Optimal performing bodies will help you feel better about yourself and will help to propel your transformation and will be an inspiration to your weight loss. Water is like premium gas while soda and sugary drinks are like low grade gas. 

4. Research
Research famous people that are your body type and build and have their picture as yet another goal to reach. I used to keep a picture of Chris Hemsworth and Hugh Jackman on my cell phone to inspire me. I was built exactly like the both of them, but I had a lot of weight, just like the pictures of Hemsworth and Jackman before their movies came out that they premiered in. I could not believe their transformation. It was a huge inspiration for me to see what I could become with some hard work!

Instant Inspiration...LITERALLY!

Have you ever felt down on yourself or felt like you will never accomplish your weight loss goals? Have you ever lacked the energy to work out? Have you ever felt like you tread water no matter what you do? If you have answered yes to any of these questions or want a little bit more oomph, then this blog post is for you. The Instant Inspiration concept is one that I have come up with to help you guys with your diets, weight loss, and staying motivated and inspired. Take a dive into this great blog post with me!

1. Self Affirmation
Self affirmation is a very important part to this equation and concept. Self affirmation is the affirming of the good things that you have going for you during your diet or weight loss. If you have been losing 2-3 pounds a week, then tell yourself that. If you are someone that eats well, tell yourself that. Your brain needs to hear these things. It's as if you're telling another person that you are doing well and your brain responds to these affirmations in a positive way.

2. Agree 
Think of one problem for the week that you want to work on. By thinking and agreeing that you have a problem to work on, your brain feels the need and urge to fix the problem. When you fix the problem, move to the next problem. Agree with yourself and get your brain on board. When it comes to psychology, you can trick your brain into agreeing that you have weight problems, and then your brain responds by wanting to fix the problem. Its like your conning yourself into weight loss or dieting.

3. Positive
STAY POSITIVE! When you are doing your weight loss you can do one of two things. You can either stay negative and never achieve your goals and rot in your own fat, or you can stay positive, fuel the fire, and succeed at burning the fat off. Staying positive helps to release endorphins that will help you feel better about what you are trying to accomplish. Obesity is not something to be taken lightly.

4. Instant Inspiration
Get off of your bottom! Get off the couch and just go and work out. It may be that you are very tired, annoyed, bored, lazy, or a number of other things, but if you don't get up and start moving towards working out, then you will never make it there. You have to get up, get dressed, get primed and ready to go, and then take yourself and go and get your weight loss or diet. Put some perspiration towards your weight loss or diet and you will begin to ignite the inspiration. You will see the results and you will just fly!

I hope that you guys are inspired on this Sunday afternoon to take up your flag, your diet, your weight loss, your inspiration and to go and get the prize! You guys deserve the six pack, the washboard abs, the skinny butt and body, but you guys need to work and be inspired like you actually want it. You have to want it more than life wants to hit you and keep you down. There are no excuses in the real world. If you make excuses and you sit on the couch, you will be fat, you will be obese, and you will die sooner than you would if you were skinny or smaller. GO AND GET IT MY FRIENDS!
