Staying Consistent

At the gym yesterday I ran into someone I knew and we struck up a conversation.  I asked how he was doing and he said, “trying to stay consistent”.  He had it. When you strip everything away, that’s what it comes down to.  Consistency.   Because while getting to they gym is a good thing, and eating healthy is great.  If you don’t keep at it, and do it consistently the results you are wanting won’t come.

You can’t eat one healthy meal a day and then go eat out the next two meals every day and expect to see your six pack come out.

It takes staying consistent.  Now I’m not saying that it’s easy.  It means when someone else is eating a candy bar and drinking some mountain dew at work, you are downing water and some apples with peanut butter.  It takes sacrifice, I’m not going to lie and say it’s easy.

I drink these nasty smoothies everyday, twice a day.  My wife can’t even bear the smell of them that’s how bad they are.  I can’t tell you  how  many nights I don’t want to drink it before bed.  I feel like I’m gonna puke and am tired of eating all this healthy food. It isn’t easy.

If this stuff was easy everyone would do it.  But think back to where you were 5 years ago.  Think about where you are today.  Think about where you want to be 5 years from now.  Do you want to stay the same?  Do you want to be 5 years older and still wishing for change?  Or do you want to be different?  Start getting consistent.
