What's the one thing that will keep you going in your quest for fitness when all desire and motivation goes right out the proverbial window? You guessed it--accountability. If you've raised children, you'll be very familiar with the routine of checking regularly to see if they're actually doing whatever the task at hand may be. You'll quickly learn to decipher the "language of the master manipulator" (Hey, that sounds like a great book title...) and see through the fog of smoke being blown your way. "Oooh--so pessimistic Vawny! Someone took an extra dose of b___ch today, hm?" you may think. Unless that is, you have some of the little darlings at home. Right now. Full time. All summer. But I digress...
Seriously, if you're one of the millions who just can't seem to "stick with it" you are sooo not alone. And I can promise you that if you continue doing the same ol' thing, you'll continue getting the same ol' results. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Accountability, as painful as it sounds, is actually the easier, softer way ultimately. You know that you are your own worst enemy here. Think about it--think for a moment of all the rationalizing your masterful brain can provide you in a nanosecond--with one Google brain search--it's uncanny!
Here's the thing: If you watch or read any of the Beachbody Fitness testimonies, you'll begin to see a clear pattern, or better yet--blueprint for success. The reason that these people are reaching their goals in record numbers, this time, is because they're held accountable by signing into the virtual gym called "Wowy." There, they collect workout buddies from all over the country! These buddies keep inviting them to workout together for support, and everyone receives top notch information via Beachbody's cool down chats, as well as other endless online support.
Why not just click on some of the videos I have posted here and see for yourself. Can't hurt to watch... And never mind that Beachbody Fitness has come up with the brilliant idea of giving away $1000 a day to anyone logging into Wowy--even if they aren't a member--(how's that for commitment to getting this country fit?). The fact is, there's something about having people count on you to show up and fight the good fight with them that JUST PLAIN WORKS!
Maybe this is the last house on the block for you. If that's the case, then all the more reason to open that door--before a crisis forces you to do it. After all, if you're not taking care of yourself, you know it's just a matter of time. I'm thinkin' now is a great time to do a little damage control...while it's still controllable
