Are You A Winner Or Loser At Fitness?

Author: Shawn Lebrun Author Ranking Silver | Posted: 09-12-2005 | Comments: 0 | Views: 201 | Rating:  (50) Article Popularity - Green (?) Got a Question? Ask.

The last few weeks, I've been going through all of the contributions I've received for my newest ebook "Fitness Success Stories From Everyday People".

These are stories that my readers have submitted that explain what they did to change their bodies and get in shape.

While reading the amazing transformation stories you sent in, I noticed a common theme that ran through all of them. It's what I believe separates winners from losers.

Simply put, winners DO things that losers do not. In fact, it's this act of DOING that will bring you closer to your own fitness goals.

Look, there's no magic formula for getting in shape. If you think there is, you've been lied to.

Getting in shape takes hard work. It takes persistence. It takes commitment. And it takes "doing".

So instead of searching for the "best" program or overanalyzing everything, just start "doing".

You won't always succeed, but if you're a winner, you'll keep getting up after each and every time you've been knocked down.

Losers will stop and complain about how life is not fair.

I can speak from personal experience that when I went from a very overweight 240 pounds to a lean 185, it was the fact that I just started "doing" that brought these changes about.

I "knew" proper nutrition and exercise were the keys to getting in shape, but that didn't matter until I actually did something about it.

Look in the newspapers or on the television. The people that have achieved any level of success have just taken more action than those who are not as successful.

People do not see the 6 grueling hours a day that Lance Armstrong trains on his bike or the 1,000 jump shots Michael Jordan used to take each day in practice.

People just see the end result and think these people are "lucky". True, they are gifted and lucky, but they also "do" more than most others.

So ask yourself if you're "doing" everything you possibly can in order to get the physique you want.

Or are you lying to yourself, telling yourself that you're doing all you can when in reality you're not.

If you're not happy with your current results, you need to start "DOING" better.

Lice
By: nagalie | 22-07-2008
I am so grossed out, tired, and aggrivated. I need help. I need some feedback. To begin with, I'm an ultra clean person but I think I have lice. I am not sure. for a week now I have been itching like crazy but didn't find anything until today. I can never find anything at will. Nothing in the seems of my clothes. I only feel them. anyway, today I found on my arm ( think it fell from my head) what I now know looks like lice according to pictures i've seen. It had 6 legs was a transparent brown exept for the dark insides of its body. It was about the size of the period at the end of this sentence but a bit larger including it's legs...(Sooo sorry that you are getting this gross info but it's quite necessary for the process of identifying my problem.) Anyway, I am pretty sure it is lice but the question i want to ask now is what kind? If it is body lice it should be treated different from head lice I think. I know you can get rid of head lice with olive oil but body lice? Here are my symptoms... I am 90% sure I got this from my dog who was in some tall grass the other day. I saw her itching intensely but shes never had any bites before so I didnt think about it. I thought it was allergies and gave her a benedryl. THEN I started itching along with her. I know its not fleas. I don't think its scabies because my bites dont run in lines or around the webbing of my fingers. Not only that but scabies dont look like lice from what I know. Now, I can't tell if it is head or body lice because of this, they are both on my head and on my body. I even feel them in my eyelashes. I have them in my nether regions...and I've never had sex.lol I have bites that look like pimples all spread out on my legs...nether region...round my belly button, on my behind, back and neck. None on my chest or face thank God for that. But head lice are supposed to remain on the head for all I know and body lice on the body. I even feel itchy in my ears. I can barely sleep. Someone help me so I can search for a remedy pleeease. If you have a remedy for either please share it with me . Thanks
