It's my health, and I want it NOW!

Lets face it.  We all want great results NOW!  We are used to getting what we want with a click of a mouse or remote control.  We call a delivery place, tell them what we want, and Poof! It arrives at our house, exactly as we ordered, within 30 minutes.  Living in a modern world sure has its perks. 


This is just not the case when it comes to your health.   There is no magic pill "sleep away the fat" option.  It takes effort.  and time. and commitment. The thing is, even though you may not see a change from a single workout or good nutritional choice, there is change happening!    


I can't tell you how many emails I have received from people who are discouraged because they do not look ripped after 10-14 days. They tell me that their clothes are fitting differently and they are feeling stronger and yet, they are discouraged and ready to quit.  At that point, it is time for a reality check.  How long did it take to gain all the unwanted pounds?  6 months? A couple years?  Maybe it has been a lifetime of sedentary living combined with convenience food!  This is not going to reverse itself completely overnight, but it will in time.  You have to trust it.  It truly makes me sad when I see people making solid progress, but then quit before they reach their goal because they are impatient.  Don't fall into this trap!  It is called P90X, not P10X!   If you want long term success, you must think beyond today.   Time is your friend.  How do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time.  Don't give up when you have only gotten through half the trunk! Lol!  


If you’re someone that’s discouraged because you haven’t gotten the results you want after just a short period of time, then please understand that it takes a long time to achieve great success! Keep committing to yourself and your hard work WILL pay off!
Never give up,
Lisa
