Do You Have What It Takes? 
So why haven't you met your fitness goals?

The truth is that anyone can reach their health and fitness goals...even you!  And wouldn't it feel great to pull on your pants without needing to go through unusual physical distortions to get them where they belong? To feel comfortable in your clothes, knowing that they hang on a toned, trim, fit and healthy body?  To be able to accomplish the physical tasks and activities of everyday life with ease? 
Whatever your fitness goals, you can reach them if you have one thing.  I’m taking this from Pastor Stan Summers’ message this morning at Koke Mill Christian Church (if you’d like to hear the whole message go to www.kokemillcc.org):  This was not only the title of his message, but the one and only point:
“Commitment Is The Key”
While Stan made an excellent application to our walk with God and to accomplishing His will in our lives, it has application to everything we do in life that is worthwhile.  Without commitment there is no staying power, no discipline, no passion to see something through to the end, whether it’s our walk with God, our educational goals, our marriage, or taking care of our health.

You can turn your fitness dreams into reality…
      …read on for the three things you need to begin achieving amazing results.

1.Your Mind
You may be wondering what your mind has to do with getting your body into great shape.  In a single word, your mind has everything to do with getting the body of your dreams. Your mind will single handedly make or break your success.

How? Well, your mind works hard to reinforce the beliefs that you hold about yourself. If you think of yourself as a fat person, or an out-of-shape person, or just an average person then your subconscious mind will do everything in its power to keep you that way.

It's like self-sabotage.

However, if you begin to think of yourself as fit, healthy and attractive, then your mind will do everything it can to make your belief a reality.

*Take time everyday to visualize your new body and to focus on your goals.

Pearl S. Buck once said:

“I don’t wait for moods.  You accomplish nothing if you do that.  Your mind must know it has got to get down to work.”

2.Your Plan
Everyone who successfully sets out to lose body fat and achieve results does so by implementing a plan. Your plan is crucial to your success, picture it as a guiding map needed to find a new destination. Without it you are lost.

Here are the 2 major parts to your plan:

                1. Diet: They say you are what you eat, and that is never truer than while losing weight. Cut junk food from your diet and stick with fresh healthy foods instead. Eat small meals throughout the day containing protein, carbohydrates and minimal fat.

                2. Exercise: Yes, you will have to break a sweat, but the good news is that once you make exercise a habit you will likely find it to be enjoyable - In fact, I know you will. It is important that you make exercise a part of your lifestyle, and not something that you do on random occasions. For maximal results exercise 4-5 times each week doing both cardiovascular and resistance training.

*Stick with your healthy eating plan and exercise routine-these are the building blocks to your success.

3.Your Determination
Determination is the one thing that will guarantee that you will lose weight, tone your body and feel better than ever. You have to want it-that's it. Thinking about it is not enough. Now it's time for action!


You have to want to lose weight and get fit…
...more than you want that burger and fries.
         …more than you want to skip your workout.
              …more than you want that chocolate cookie.
                   …more than you want to sit on the couch.

The shape and size of your body is in your hands, and your hands only. I believe that you possess the kind of determination that it takes to change your body-you simply need to dig down deep enough within yourself to find it.

Fuel your fire by building a network of support in your life. Enlist friends, family and loved ones to encourage your efforts and to keep tabs on your progress.
