#realtalk episode 1

(for the umpteenth time) you will NOT lose weight by joining a gym. A membership does not guarantee weight loss. A DIET (Did I Eat That?) doesn’t equate to fat loss. No magic trick can save you, if all you ever do is sabotage your efforts. 

I don’t care what potion, powder or pill you inject, sniff or slurp, you are not guaranteed results. The warning labels on the bottle blatantly inform you of such, clear as crystal.

What many fail to overstand is that your mind is the engineer, your will is the mechanic and your heart is the engine. Your trainer, gym, DVD, exercise guru, gadget, supplement, internet resource, platform, forum, ________(fill in the blank) is just a key. And not all keys are calibrated to start all engines; you might have to try a few before the car will run. 

But ultimately, YOU were given this car and you have to drive it; funny shameful how many cars are in better condition than their owner’s body. But like any car, peak performance can only be attained by optimizing it efficiently in all terrain; manufactured to outlive the toughest of variables. Are you? 

#realtalk lesson #1: weight loss begins in your mind.
