DISQUS

These are pretty nifty techniques... I guess I'm as guilty as most guys in the gym of taking the shortcut of not using the full range of motion.

One thing I want to focus on is not "cheating" on technique the way I used to... what's the point of spending the time working out if I'm not going to do it right?

Thanks for sharing Jeff's video! :)

I like the idea of making small changes every day till I'm a completely new person in 365. Small, manageable, sustainable changes.

You're right, Marc, it is simple, but I've never seen it that way before... how my own expectations before were too enormous; it'd be as drastic as moving into another state as you put it.

Right now, the Bob Proctor quote is on repeat in my head ("Act like the person you want to become.") and I will act on that daily till it becomes true. :)

I'm glad I came across your article; it's helping me to make sense of my current situation. I used to be overweight and obsessed about losing weight but never put any real concerted effort into till I hit my early 20's. Now, in contrast, I find myself losing too much weight and finally letting go of that old image of my old overweight self.

Having dinner with a personal trainer friend last night, I confessed to him I no longer want to worry about gaining or losing weight or keep trying one program after another (not that there is anything inherently wrong with them), but to focus on making fitness and health a priority in my life, something as normal as waking up and brushing my teeth.

And perhaps that is the first step toward getting there, to begin with thinking like a healthy, fit person rather than someone who's always worried about his weight or how people might view him.

P.S. Have heard about the Law of Attraction before but never really took notice till now. Will look it up and investigate. Thanks.
