Introducing the official …
Introducing the official Tour de France stationary bike. I just saw this commercial (as I was turning off the TV <grin>) and it just confirmed that I needed to shut it off. Do you think it is a coincidence that they have amped up the commercials for this bike right now? Right now when the new memberships at the gym are at a seasonal high? “I’m going to lose the extra weight this time. I mean it”. Ever said that? Why didn’t you? I can tell you why. Her name is Resistance.
I first met her officially when I read the book The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. She had been an opponent for my whole life but I always thought it was something else. If you want to overcome Resistance then you need to get this book (and read it). You will meet the one thing that stands between where you are and where you want to be. One thing.
Susan and I met and overcame Resistance when we lost over 180 pounds. It took about 2 years but we won and Resistance lost. It is not a once and done battle but rather a war that we fought daily, and still fight. The difference now is that we know we can win. At the start of the fight we weren’t sure.
Celeste Reeves at Functional Fitness was a big help. I don’t think we could do it without her. We needed a coach and she is the best for us. The truth is you can’t do it alone. It’s the American Way to try but you need a workout buddy (mine is Susan) and you need a coach. For less than the price of a car payment I have a new life (and a new wife <grin>) and I love it.
From the book, The War of Art – “Resistance seems to come from outside ourselves. We locate it in spouses, jobs, bosses, kids. “peripheral opponents” as Pat Riley used to say when he coached the Los Angles Lakers. Resistance is not a peripheral opponent. Resistance arises from within. It is self-generated and self-perpetuated. Resistance is the enemy within.”
So why am I writing this today? To help you. To identify your enemy and to help you overcome. What did you say you wanted to do this year? Maybe it’s not to lose weight or get fit but to write a book or make more money or get a better job. Whatever it is you will find that Resistance will be there every step of the way but once you meet her face to face and see that she is a false opponent you can win.
So, what it stopping you? If you want to talk to someone about it then call me. My phone number is below. I really am here to help and would love to discuss my old enemy, Resistance with you. It helps me to share the battle so call me and it will help you too.
Thanks for listening,
