We are approaching the end of January. Everyone is still working out and sticking to their diet. A few have fallen off the wagon, but not many. Some are just starting their New Years resolution fitness and nutrition program, and that’s OK. All that said, what does it take to get in shape, I mean really fit? I am going to give you seven keys to become fit. But before I do, let me share a few things with you.
I was sitting in church yesterday and the man preaching was talking about spiritual fitness. If I offend anyone talking about God, Jesus or Christianity, too bad! OK, he was talking about spiritual fitness and how we have to work at becoming spiritually fit. The same is true regarding physical fitness. We have to work. He talked about being discipline, praying, reading the bible. This takes discipline with our busy life styles. Training and becoming fit takes discipline as well. OK, I’m going to skate on some thin ice, right on the edge and if offend someone, I’m sorry, but too bad. It is not my intention to do so, but if by offending someone, I get them to start working towards becoming fit, great! I see tons of preachers, and I mean TONS, professing the word of God. These are good men, but they are so fat, they can hardly move around. According to God’s word, our body is a temple. God didn’t intend for His temple to have globs of fat hanging off of it, causing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides and a heart that is about to explode, plus numerous other health problems. Sorry for the ranting, but someone has to say it! So what at the seven keys to become fit?
1. First and foremost you have to want too. You have to want it bad! You have to be sick and tired of feeling and looking like you do.
2. How strong is your why? If you want it bad enough, why?
3. What will you give up to become fit? You will have to figure out what you will give up to get what you want. Time, money, TV something
4. You will have to work hard. Anything worthwhile is worth working hard for. You health is very worth while, so get into the mind set of hard work.
5. You MUST be discipline! Whether training or following your nutrition plan, you must be discipline.
6. You MUST be consistent. Again, your training has to be consistent as well as your nutrition plan.
7. Set short and long term goals. This is very important. Rome wasn’t built in a day. You have to take baby steps before you can run. Reward yourself for accomplishing your short term goals. By reaching many short term goals, you WILL reach your long term goal.

Again, it is not my intention to offend anyone. If I do, I’m sorry. If I do and you begin a lifestyle change geared towards health and fitness, good. You may not like me, but you will thank me later. Remember, NO EXCUSES! JUST RESULTS! Train hard and smart and God Bless!

Thanks for these great tips Scott. You are right about being disciplined, committed and dedicated to working for things in life worth having. I know no other way to have, get or to keep anything or anyone of value in life. I am about to post a link to a web site hoping that people will be wise enough not to waste their time or money on this resource if they haven't done so already. Many poor souls looking for answers and hope have already done so. Do a search on amazon.com. There are over 1,000 comments on "The Secret And Your Body". Poor suckers for the most part who realize they've been legally scammed out of their money. Here is a partial excerpt from the what I call "Make All Of Your Dreams Come True" book":
"Food is not responsible for putting on weight. It is your thought that food is responsible that actually has food put on weight". Let go of all these limiting thoughts. Food cannot cause you to put on weight, unless you think it can". This is an excerpt from "The Secret And Your Body" by Rhonda Byrne posted at http://www.newsweek.com/id/36647 on 2/25/07. I'm all for positive thinking. But thanks to God my positive thinking is balanced and realistic as it should be. Scott I'm on your mailing list and have included the newsweek article link in that email I sent you today. Believe it or not The Secret And Your Body is available for sale on at least one christian web site. Only God knows how many other christian sites are helping to peddle that dream.
