Been talking with several other fellow Personal Trainers today and was reminded how simple it is to get healthy and in shape!  I know this, but seem to be finding excuses these days why I can't get back where I was last year, which is ONLY about 10lbs. lighter!  It is as simple as a balanced diet and consistent workouts, no excuses!!!  THIS, I know also!  So why am I having so much trouble????  I have found myself looking for that "quick fix" that I know does not exist!!!  As we get older, our bodies don't burn fat nor build muscle as fast or as easy as it used to.  You have to put in a little more work and eat less, less meaning less CRAP!  So, that cookie, coke, beer ect. that you may over indulge in will show up!!!!  I know, that's not what you want to hear, but it's a fact!  If you REALLY want to get in shape and be in the best shape of your life, it's not too late and your never too old!  I did it last year at 42!  There are many home workout programs that DO work, if you put in the work!  I think that part is easy and FUN!!!  The hardest part is the diet part!  I really hate that word!  It should become a way of life....the way you eat everyday!  Diets don't work, simply because once you get to where you want to be, you go back to old habits and guess what happens??????>>>>> it comes right back!!!  When my life took a 360 degree turn, I got sloppy with my meals, wasn't consistent with my workouts and over about 4 months, I had lost what I had worked so hard for last year!  It was that easy!  I know that it's going to take twice as long (if I stay true) to get back there, plus factor in another year added to my age!  BUT, I can do this and so can you!!!!  SO, I challenge you to jump on board with me.  I have learned over the years accountability is a huge factor in getting where you want to be!  I remember I used to text people to remind them to go workout, and in turn, how could I do that and not go workout myself?  Just remember, there is no magic pill, no magic diet and no "quick fix" or we would all be HOT!!!!!  You never get anywhere in life without hard work, same applies to your body!!!  If you need any advise on workouts or nutrition, please message me via FB or email me at sherylltravis@rocketmail.com!  Me helping you, helps me to stay focused and motivated!!!!
