If you’ve been following me on the forums at Team Beachbody you might have come across a few quotes that I’ve been peppering into the mix.  Take this one for example – it’s a real favorite:

“The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.”

John Powell

Isn’t that great?  You know if you’re reading this blog and you’re beating yourself up because you never seem to be able to shift the weight you want to be rid of, read that quote again!  It really sums up what so many of us have done in the past.

We try and lose weight or get some exercise, and we fail.  But we just go ahead and try again without making any changes.  Of course, trying to lose weight and not succeeding isn’t really a mistake – not in the sense that we were wrong to try.

But if you’re looking for some inspiration then quotations are a great place to get it.  And you can stick them up on a sticky note where you can see them and benefit from them every day too!  Here’s another one I love:

“Efficiency is doing things right.  Effectiveness is doing the right things.”

Peter Drucker

So are we all going to be efficient as well as effective today?  I sure hope so!  I find that’s a great quote to keep in mind when I’m aiming to do a workout, or maybe fix a healthy meal for the evening.  If we can all be efficient and effective, then we can expect great results as we jog through each day ahead of us.

If you follow my thread on the Team Beachbody forums, you’ll know that I pop in a quote a day to keep you all on your toes! But you should try exploring the web and finding a few good ones of your own too.  In fact, why not come and share them with us?  If there’s a particular quote that gets you fired up and ready to burn some calories on your next workout, let us all know!

Quotes have a habit of boiling something complicated down into something simple.  It’s like a nugget of knowledge that really tells you how things are.  And the best ones are there to be shared too.  So let’s get sharing and feel the benefit!

Creating A New You
Most of us reach a stage in our lives when we feel as if we need to make some changes.  Maybe we know we’re a few pounds overweight but it hasn’t been until now that we’ve felt ready to do anything about it.

It could be that we’re feeling a little tired and the benefits of getting some regular exercise would help us.  We all know that regular exercise is a great thing to get started with, but knowing it and actually doing it can be quite some distance apart!

Every single day in America – and right across the world – there are people who decide to start that diet.  And every day there are probably just as many people who slip off the diet they started a few days or weeks previously.  If you are alone in your dieting efforts it’s easy enough to keep going when you feel enthusiastic right at the start.  But when you feel low or you are tempted by a certain food, there isn’t often anyone there to give you the support you need to get past that temptation.

That’s why we have so many successful members here at Team Beachbody.  You know, some people who don’t have to diet (or who just don’t want to, for whatever reason) can really harm your own efforts to lose weight if you’re not careful.  They might mean well, but they don’t form part of a supportive network of people that can make all the difference to getting through those tough times.

Team Beachbody is different.  Not only will you get the direction you need with your healthy eating and weight loss plan, you’ll also get access to an online gym.  Now that might sound a little strange, but believe me I have many buddies who have already seen great changes to their bodies thanks to this gym!

Here’s a thing – how do you actually think about dieting, losing weight or getting fit?  Do you think of all these things as solo activities?

Many people do.  ‘This will be the week when I start losing weight,’ they think.  Or maybe, ‘I’m going to start doing some exercise tomorrow so I can get fitter.’

Sounds familiar?  Of course it does.  And you should set your own goals and be in this just for you.  After all, no one decides that someone they know should lose weight!  We have to make our own decisions, right?

But just because you decide for yourself, that doesn’t mean you have to go it alone when you get started on your weight loss journey.  The same applies if you are just getting started on a new exercise plan.  The more support you have, the more likely it is that you are going to succeed – both for the long and the short term.

This is why so many people at Team Beachbody are finally getting close to the beach body they really want.  There is a network in place here that means you can get in touch with other members who are going for the same goals as you.  The amount of weight you want to lose might be different, and you might enjoy different exercises, but we’re all going for the same end goal – and that’s our ideal body.

The benefits of having a like minded community around you are really noticeable once you get started.  If you’re feeling low one morning and you think it could be a tough day ahead on your personalized meal plan, simply hop online and get in touch with your buddies.  You can bet that everyone has those types of days now and again, and you can get support from someone who has already been there and got through it successfully.

You have your own coach too, of course.  Support is something that everyone at Team Beachbody really believes in.  Because if you have the right amount of support when you need it, you are far more likely to succeed.

So think about how that support could make a real difference to your goals.  Think about how much easier you might find things.  And find out more about how Team Beachbody can help you get there. Click the link below and Join the Club for Free.
