PLAN TO FAIL! (a must-read)

I've always thought that planning to fail would lead to failure but I never understood what it meant to "plan" or to actually "fail" at something. Usually, if I had a fear of failing I just wouldn't try. Does that sound like you? If things got too complicated for me I would quit. What about you? What do you do when things get too complicated? You see, I made the best excuses for myself until every excuse came back around and I had to face them. Yes, I had to start planning and including my setbacks (also known as my downfalls). I had denied my blindside for so long I forgot what it was; I forgot the areas where I failed and I would repeat my failures. Do you repeat your failures or mistakes? There were times that I let my failures determine my level of commitment. Until I got tired of quitting! Are you tired of quitting or tired of giving up on yourself? I want you to think about this:
 
Would you go to war with a weakness? If so, wouldn't that be the first thing your enemy would notice and attack?
 
If you were a boxer or MMA fighter, your first goal is to find your opponents weaknesses and strike there! See how important identifying weaknesses can be?
 
So enlighten yourself on the areas that you’ve failed or the areas that you are weak and begin to strengthen there!
 
Here are 3 BIG tips to succeed at anything! But especially fitness and weight-loss.

                                                

1.    Plan to have setbacks and establish backup plans so that you can quickly move around any obstacle(s) that may come your way.

 

2.    Learn to separate your emotions from rational thinking when failure does happen, that will help you to stay fixated on your goal.

 

3.    Don’t be afraid to fail at something understand that failure will happen, just identify it and conquer it! Success is waiting for you!

THE JESUS DIET

The Jesus Diet

Whole Grains & Proteins

So if you didn't know already proteins are a necessary building block for the body and should be part of every healthy diet; and whole grains provide fiber along with protein.

This dynamic duo keeps you fuller longer, increases your metabolism and helps the body to burn more fat. For those who don't understand metabolism. "Metabolism is the process of breaking down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats to yield the energy your body needs to maintain itself." (WebMD)

It's vital to have protein and grains (yes carbs) in your diet for weight-loss and to maintain weight.  

So what would those meals look like? ...Let's see!

Breakfast: Multigrain or Whole Grain waffles with lowfat yogurt and strawberries

Lunch: Tuna melt on 9 or 12 grain toast with tomatoes and spinach

Dinner:  Beef & Bean Chile Verde with Quinoa

**Substitutions for vegetarians and vegans; Wholegrain waffles with coconut milk yogurt and strawberries, seitan melt on 12 grain toast with tomatoes and spinach, crumbled tofu and bean chile verde with quinoa.**

#Team Inferno

Hey guys! I'm Shanae and welcome to my blog! Here you'll find fitness, exercise and nutrition tips.

Topic for today is Motivation:

 Yes, you can be inspired by so many things and/or people but you have got to motivate yourself!

How to motivate yourself to lose weight or workout

Step 1: Get great music!

Step 2: Get comfortable workout gear!

Step 3:Find a workout that doesn't seem like WORK :)

Step 4: Decide in your mind what you want your body to look like

Simple right!

Overcoming mental objectives (that sabotage your game plan)

Problem: "I have no one to workout with me!" Solution: Get a friend

Problem: "I have no energy!" Solution: Try an energy drink, vitamins or a fruit before a workout.

Problem: "I work so much I have no time!" Solution: Make time! Walk during your breaks or plan to exercise on your days off. Wake up 30 minutes earlier to workout

"If it doesn't challenge you it doesn't change you. YOU CAN DO IT!"

love peace & progress
