The Best Fitness and Weight Loss Blog

One of my closest friends sent me an awesome motivational quote today.  He is also in the fitness business and runs a very successful Personal Training and Boot Camp business and we share pretty much everything business related and he knew that I would love the quote and us fitness folks live and eat by the motivation of others.  He was right, I LOVE THIS QUOTE!

The quote very eloquently summarizes how life is full of opportunities taken and opportunities missed and how they weigh on us for moments, years and sometimes a lifetime.

It also speaks to the burden of those decision and how heavy they are.  It made me look back at my experience with over 2,000 clients all trying get to one level of fitness and weight loss or another.  I have never had a client tell me that they regretted getting in shape.  No one has ever told me that they regretted losing weight.  Feeling better never makes you wish that you felt bad again!  No one has ever told me that they regretted eating healthy all weekend and reaping the rewards of those choices.  Not a single person has ever said to me that living a life of discipline caused them to wish that they were less disciplined.

I have never had a client say to me, "This losing weight thing just isn't working out for me!  I think that I am better off just going back to my old lifestyle."

On the contrary I have had countless, and I mean countless, people tell me that they regretted eating and drinking like crap all weekend.  Countless people have said that they regretted not getting all of their workouts in.  Countless people have said that they regretted not taking action sooner and getting their butt in shape starting that day.

No matter the scenario, no matter how I try to configure it in my brain I cannot picture a situation where someone is happier in an unfit, unhealthy and poorly conditioned body.  Can you?

Take a second right now and think about your fitness goals.  What do you regret more, the moments that you stay strong to your plan or the moments that you are weak to the temptations that move you away from your goal?

Make today an action day, a decision day and let those decision resonate for the rest of your life.  Don't let temptation win, you can be stronger than that!  Here is your motivational quote for the day, from Jim Rohn.

"We must all suffer from one of two pains; the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is that discipline weighs ounces and lasts a moment while regret weighs tons and lasts a lifetime!"
