Specific results without specific actions?
Are you trying to lose weight? Most of us are….and most of us have a specific scale number that we are trying to reach. Just read the following true story of a client who approached me about the program ‘not working’.
Client: well, what have you got to say?
Jimi: say about what?
Client: I have been doing the program for 6 weeks and I haven’t lost any weight, so what’s up?
Jimi: well, tell me about your compliance to the program. Are you working out 4-6 times per week?
Client: well, sort of, on the days I’m not tired I am.
Jimi: ok, that’s a NO. How about the diet plan?
Client: yep, I’ve been following it.
Jimi: ok, tell me your average day…
Client: I go to work, but stop off to get a donut or two. Then, I usually get hungry around 10am, so I’ll get something out of the snack machine. Then I’ll go out to lunch with my coworkers. Then I’ll just something up in the evening since it’s too late to cook.
Jimi: (silent, can’t believe his ears)

Rome wasn’t built in a day!
They say that Rome wasn’t built in a day. And while I agree with that, I do think that sometimes we take a lack of results and excuse it as simply results taking more time to come than we want and not as fast as we want. But the truth of the matter is that sometimes, Rome can be built in a day ( or at least the foundation)and its simply because we haven’t taken the right steps to ensure that Rome gets built at all. For instance, I have a client never seems to make progress, and habits that are less than desirable to support his goals. These habits need to be addressed in order for him to see results. Instead of masking the frustration with false humility and patience, attempt to change by looking at the daily habits and actions of the man facing you in the mirror.
