I know you have heard Jeff and I say, "get in the zone!", "get out of your comfort zone!", "it's mind over matter!" or "you can do it!" We believe we’re often capable of way more than we think --grabbing that heavier weight, sprinting hard instead of jogging, staying in that plank for just 10 more seconds, rowing for just 5 more seconds, or losing weight and toning up! Achieving any type of goal first starts in your mind. You have to set goals and WANT to reach them!!! You have to know that it does not happen over night and that YOU have to do it for your self!
You have to first get it in your head (what you want), you have to see it and imagine what it feels like (ending results), and you have to go for it(Don't get bored or give up--REACH that goal!)! Your mind controls your actions and actions are the only things that will get you to your fitness or fat loss goals.
Trainer Eric from Gilbert writes...
"Think about this....
Question: Which person do you think will accomplish a higher level of fitness and a healthier, leaner body?
The person who keeps a meticulous daily food and exercise journal. OR The person who tries to eat healthy and get her exercise in when she can.
The person who has clearly defined goals of running a 8 minute mile OR The person who tries to get in some running if she can find the time.
The person who spends a few minutes each day visualizing what it will feel like when she accomplishes her fitness goals. OR The person who flies by the seat of her pants each day never taking a few moments to "project" herself having accomplished any fitness goal.
The person who sets a specific deadline and action plan ahead of time detailing each days necessary actions to get her to her goals. OR The person who has no plan, no deadline, no details on anything related to her fitness.
Well, I'm pretty sure you picked the first person in every situation. It goes without saying that WE control our life by the thoughts we have and the actions we take every single day. Are there other things going on that influence our lives, of course. BUT, without thought AND action towards a specific purpose, little will be fulfilled or accomplished!"

My Step Dad is a firm believer in writing down his goal and putting them somewhere he can read them daily (his bathroom mirror is sometimes FULL is sticky notes). I will tell you he reaches many if not all of his goals! It is amazing! You have to really want it for yourself!!! Take a few minutes and write down what it is you really want. Write some long term and short term goals and remember--be realistic!!!
