Horses, Bicycles, and Fat Loss

Quote of the Day: Since When is the Truth Unspeakable?

I said the in response to something my mother-in-law
said yesterday, not sure if it is original but at least
it sounded good.

By the way you could be in for some more
mother-in-law inspired quotes since she’ll be staying at
my home for at least another week or so
=================================

When it comes to a lot of things in life people tend to
follow the swing pendulum too much.

What I am trying to say is that people over-react
way too much.

Here’s a good example:

Say after you morning workout you head to your
local breakfast hang out with some friends
and for some unknown reason you order the biscuits
and gravy with a stack of syrup slathered pancakes.

Only after awaking from you insulin induced coma
do you realize your really screwed up; actually more
to the point you might have just eaten your whole days
worth of calories.

So instead doing the logical thing and getting right back
on plan with a healthy snack or lunch depending on how
long your coma lasted.

You tell yourself ‘screw it I already messed up today
I might as well go for it’

Next thing you know you are at the Pizza Hut buffet
elbow deep in ‘pie’. Then on the way home you have
a ‘oh what the hell moment’ and stop off and pick up a
½ gallon of your favorite ice cream.

Long story short not a pretty picture, the sad part is that
these types of actions and subsequent attitude
can and will lead to the complete derailing of many
fat loss plans.

The same thing can happen with exercise, you lay out
the ultimate fat loss workout, plan have it ino your schedule
you are going to hit it hard, lean abs, hot arms, here you come
4 days into it a real ‘shit storm’ hits either at home or work
it doesn’t matter.

You miss a workout

Then the next day you playing catch up all day and dragging
butt because of stress, lack of sleep, or both and damn if you
don’t miss another workout.

Next thing you know is you scrap the entire plan on
go back to your old habits of 3 sets of chest and tri’s and
finished with a 20 minute plod on the treadmill.


You screwed up sure we all do it. It happens, and
it’s not worth beating yourself into a pulp over

Here’s what you must do, get your ass back on
the horse/bike NOW!

If it’s nutrition do it the next meal not tomorrow not
the next day.

If it’s the workout do it the next day no matter what or
even doing something short and intense this is why I love
the kettlebells. You can always knock off something,
and it is productive for your goals not just some
treadmill plodding.

The point is you have to expect adversity and attack it
don’t let it shove you into playing the ‘I’ll do it tomorrow
game’

Wanted to give you one little nugget about the Exercise
Contest today, one of my Frustrated to Fit Class participants
Kim proudly announced to me today that she had increased
her push-ups by 70% in a week’s time, and these weren’t
some sissy ass sag back hunched shoulder push-ups, they
were solid as I have seen her form.

You better get on your push-ups training if you are going
to be competing my Exercise Contest in May
