Episode 167- Waking up in the dark. Again.

Awake in the dark. Again. That trainer life. “You get up at 3:45 am?” people ask me. “Everyday?” Pretty much. “Do you like it?” No. Of course I don’t like it. I’m disciplined but I’m not crazy. I hate it actually. It’s sucks but it’s the price I have to pay to do what I love. I think that’s what people miss. They don’t realize that there is always a price to pay. Waking up in the dark sucks, but it is what I need to do to accomplish my goals. I have actually learned to “like” it, even though I hate it, because it’s a constant reminder that I am doing what’s necessary to achieve my goals and that makes me proud. Embrace the things that suck, because they are necessary for success.

Episode 166- The smart man speaks but the wise man listens.

Took me a long time to recognize that it is much more effective to learn from others who have done it than to figure it out myself.

I apologize if this hurts your feelings but sometimes you just need someone to tell it to you like it is. I’ll be that someone today. More on FAT-LOSS.
