I've noticed that a lot of people lack motivation to get themselves into shape... some clients I've worked with over the years are extremely motivated and work their butts off, while others just want a "quick fix" and whine and complain about working hard.
I don't work with whiners and complainers. Whiners = losers.
I recently heard a quote from Will Smith, an actor who I admire greatly for his hard work ethic, both in the gym and in his career.
It went something like this:
"I will NOT be outworked. Period... You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things.
You got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there's two things: Either you're getting off first, or I'm gonna die. It's really that simple."-Will Smith, on his work ethic Yes!
Now THAT'S the way to get motivated!
You gotta love it. He was obviously talking about much more than just working hard during exercise... this was about life... but if you think of that quote before you go to the gym, you'll be ready to get yourself one ragingly good workout!
It's about WAY more than just mindlessly going through the motions in your workouts... it's about getting in the mentality that you're working to be the best you can be, and that you are unstoppable!
It's about visualizing your body being as lean & mean as you want it to be... and your health so vibrant and energetic, that nothing is getting in your way to achieving everything you set out to achieve.
Like I've said a thousand times before, true lifelong fitness starts in your mind... and your training and nutrition follow once your mind is in the right place.
Share some motivation with your friends and family and fwd this blog on to anyone you think will enjoy it.
Here's a previous article I saw on energy drinks and how they are all in your mind as well:

Lose Belly Fat Fast!
Hey,
Just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you...
Today we would like to give you a little inspiration.
Whether or not you have met your goals yet, this story will strike an emotional cord with everyone.
Oprah Winfrey herself has struggled with weight loss for her WHOLE Life. For 100's of millions of people all over the world this is a problem.
It is like a Yo-Yo...you lose a little weight, only to gain it back (and sometimes gain back even more).
What a frustration.
Look at it this way though.
She recently had a fellow by the name of David E. Smith that used to weigh 630lbs and lose was able to shed 401 lbs of fat off of his body!
This was all done through the incorporation of healthy eating and exercise into his day-to-day life.
This means that any weight loss goal is realistic AND ACHIEVABLE.
This fellow that was on her show is not only an inspiration, he shows us all that the impossible is possible for any of us.
We believe in you!
We would not have ever created the Strip That Fat system if we did not care.
Whether you weigh 600lbs or whether you want to lose that last few pounds before your wedding day, anything is possible if you are self-motivated to do so.
Strip that Fat is a foolproof diet that could help someone lose 10lbs or 400lbs... depending on the level of weight loss that you need and you are aiming for.
Anyone can use it (young or old) and it is easier to implement.
We are constantly updating and perfecting an already perfect program.
Strip That Fat will do exactly that, strip away those extra pounds.
The impossible is possible with Strip that Fat.

Eat Right!
Get Back on Track!
If you eat less, you lose weight. Seems logical, right?
Unfortunately, skipping meals can have consequences.
Besides leaving you feeling listless and weak, lack of food can set you up for a major binge.
Deprivation can cause hunger and cravings, and in those straits you're likely to eat the first thing you see, regardless of its nutritional value.
Thankfully, the answer to this dilemma is simple.
Eat when you're hungry!
Choose vitamin-rich fruits and veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains, and you'll easily beat cravings between meals, feel full, and help your body shed pounds. Isn't that great?
If you've already binged, don't worry!
It happens to all of us at one point or another.
Just get right back on track with your next meal.
You'll find that a little treat goes a long way!

Reward Yourself With "Me" Time!
Sometimes staying motivated requires a little incentive.
Hey — there's nothing wrong with that! The next time you get through a really tough workout, beat your previous running time, or follow your healthy-eating plan flawlessly for a straight week, give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back — do something special that's all about you!
How about a day of pampering? Get a fab new haircut, a mani-pedi, a facial, or a massage. There's no need go to an expensive spa!
Ask your mother or a friend to let the kids stay with her overnight, and spend an evening soaking in a tub filled with lavender-scented essential oil.
Then dive into that novel you've been meaning to finish.
If you're close to your ideal weight, shop for some new clothes to fit your incredibly shrinking body!
Or reward your hard work each month by picking up a new fitness accessory (a medicine ball, say, or a pedometer) or a kitchen tool to help you prepare all those good-for-you meals.
You can even while away the hours by taking a stroll around your neighborhood, checking out your town's Main Street boutiques — and making a pit stop at that low-fat frozen yogurt place that just opened up!
You'll find that a little treat goes a long way!

3 Tips to Eat a Healthier Diet to Lose Weight Faster
If you want to lose weight, we all know that eating a healthy diet should be your first priority. Sure, exercise is important, but diet is king when it comes to lifelong weight management. I hope this article gives you some simple, yet effective ways for you to make healthy changes in the way you eat on a daily basis.
1. Make sure to eat at least some healthy fats in most of your meals. Eating enough healthy fats is very important for maintaining proper fat burning and muscle building hormone levels in your body. Adequate healthy fats in your diet also helps in keeping your appetite under control.
The healthiest sources of dietary fats are raw nuts, seeds, egg yolks (from organic free range eggs), avocados, extra virgin olive oil (highest antioxidant content of olive oils), coconut oil (a great source of healthy saturated fats in the form of medium chain triglycerides), and grass-fed meats (a great source of the healthy fat, conjugated linoleic acid, which can help burn body fat and build muscle).
Try this tip -- eat a handful of raw nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds are great healthy choices) 3 times a day about 30 minutes prior to meals. This can help to quell your appetite and give your body some protein, fiber, and healthy fats so that you eat less calories overall at your meals and get more nutrition at the same time due to the high nutrient density of most nuts.
2. Try to eat a high quality protein source with each meal and snack that you eat. Quality proteins from grass-fed meats, grass-fed raw dairy, and even from plant sources such as nuts and beans provides good appetite suppression so you can control your calorie intake easier.
Getting ample quality proteins also helps you to build lean muscle (if you're working out hard regularly) so that your metabolism can run at a higher rate from the increased lean muscle on your body.
Eating sufficient protein at most of your meals also aids your body in controlling blood sugar and insulin levels by helping to slow the breakdown of ingested carbohydrates.
3. Although I do not fully agree with extremely low-carb diets, I do believe that one of the main reasons that so many individuals struggle to lose weight for most of their lives is due to eating excessive processed carbohydrates such as refined grain-based starches and refined sugars on a daily basis.
The natural sugars in whole fruits and berries are ok because the fiber in fruits helps to slow the blood sugar response in your body. Just make sure to avoid fruit juices, which are mostly sugar and have the fiber removed in processing the juice.
In my experience as a nutrition specialist, when people start to minimize their grain consumption (from cereals, bagels, breads, pasta, etc), they start to lose body fat much easier. What I usually recommend is for people to minimize eating grains and focus their carbohydrate intake on fruits and vegetables solely. This simple step alone usually helps people to start managing their weight more easily.
Try to implement these 3 tips for eating a smarter, healthier diet and I'm willing to bet that you'll start to see a leaner body and more energy in no time.

If you find it hard to make the healthiest food choices at the grocery store, here is a good article on choosing healthy foods.
I hope you enjoyed this article and it helps you to start eating healthier and enjoying better health!

Make Meals for the Masses
Q: I'm no short-order cook! Can I feed my family the same dishes from the Meal Plan I'm following?
A: Absolutely! My healthy recipes and meals will work for men, women, and children — regardless of whether they need to lose weight!
Since calorie requirements vary (according to gender, height, current weight, and activity level), you'll just have to tweak the portion sizes so they fit everyone's needs.
For example, a 40-year-old man who is 6 feet tall, weighs 185 pounds, and is somewhat active needs about 2,400 calories a day to maintain his weight, and 1,900 a day to lose weight.
So for the men in your household, you could increase the protein in their servings.
The kids, of course, would get smaller portions, but feel free to pile on the veggies — well, you can at least try!

Get Heart Healthy!
According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the number one killer of women.
In fact, more women die each year from cardiovascular disease than from all forms of cancer combined!
These are grim statistics, but there are things you can do to lower your chances of developing this deadly disease. Protect your heart with these steps:
Get your blood pressure tested regularly.
Eat more heart-healthy foods, including fish, poultry, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and cheese and skim or low-fat milk.
If you drink alcohol, limit your intake to no more than one drink a day.
If you smoke, it's high time to quit this deadly habit!
Get your cholesterol checked at regular intervals.
Start exercising on a regular basis — even 20 minutes will do the trick.
Be sure to talk to your doctor about your personal heart-health history and genetic risks.
Do everything you can to prevent cardiovascular disease — and share this lifesaving advice with your friends, sisters, daughters, and the other women in your life.
