The Biggest Battle

"EPIC! The biggest battle you ever had was in your head. The self limiting beliefs. Now you are turning them around, and in to self reaffirming beliefs. You’re smashing it in the gym. Your diet is on point. You’re putting the time and effort in. Hard work pays off! You’ve got this!" Coach Ken, January 2024

It has now been just over six months since I took the decision to lose weight and subsequently change my life. I've discovered a discipline and consistency that I never knew existed within me. I'm often asked how I've been able to remain focused and continue achieving great results.

One of the first "motivational quotes" I posted here was "Becoming Strong Doesn't Start In The Gym. It Starts In Your Head". Whilst the gym will help focus your mind,

Don't Look For Motivation. Find Your Why, Then No Excuses Will Come Between You And Your Goals

It's Easy To Be Motivated When Everything Is Going Well. The Goal Is To Stay Disciplined When Things Get Tough.
