I am really excited to share a really cool experience that recently happened to me, which demonstrates the critically important role that our mindset plays in achieving our goals.

It’s obvious to everyone in the gym that I spend just as much or more time strengthening my mental muscles as I do my arms, chest, and legs. I walk into the gym with intense focus, which increases with every second during my workout. Nothing can bring me out of this focus. I walk through the door with great intention and purpose.

Each rep of each set brings me one step closer to achieving my goals. I have a very clear image of the physique that I am about to sculpt, I know what needs to be done in order to achieve that image, and I’m willing to pay that price and put in the hard work to make that vision become a reality for me.

How am I able to create such a clear image in my mind of what I envision my body to look like? Simple…

I received some great questions from a valued reader of the Fat Loss Quickie blog recently that I would love to address here in hopes that you and many others will benefit too. Debora’s questions were about preventing weight regain after achieving your fat loss goal, emotional eating, craving sweets, and which diet programs I recommend. Let’s start with preventing the weight regain…

Debora mentioned, “I’ve succeeded in losing fat (in particular when I had some event as a motivation I’d lose 10-15 kg in about 2 months) but then gained it back.”

The Power of Planning and Events

Debora mentioned something very important in this statement, and it’s actually one of the best strategies for fat loss success, which is the power of planning an event around your fat loss goal.

One of the keys to long term success is

I believe that success leaves clues and in the video that I’m about to share with you, you’ll find a boat load of clues as to what it really takes to achieve success in all areas of life.

All the best workout programs and diet plans are of no use to you if you don’t believe in yourself, believe in your goals, and believe that you deserve to achieve the biggest goals that you can dream up. I watched this video twice on my own yesterday and once with Angie.

This video is a combination of clips from interviews of actor/rapper Will Smith. Prepare to get fired up and become the best you that you can be!

Success certainly does leave clues and in my opinion, Will Smith is one of the most successful people out there. It’s not because he’s been in several hit movies, had several hit songs, or had a hit television show. It’s not because he’s created financial success…

How many times have you heard a fat loss expert say, “You have to find your powerful why” when setting your fat loss goals? This is a great question and great advice to follow through with if you want to keep your motivation high and follow through with achieving the body and health that you deserve. But, is finding your powerful reason why you MUST achieve your fat loss goal enough to help you push through the challenges and temptations that you face along the way?

I don’t think it is. A part of why I don’t think it’s enough is because you simply do not take it seriously. Like goal setting, you give it a half-assed effort. You don’t invest enough emotion into it.

The biggest reason why I don’t think that having a ‘powerful why’ is enough, is that you don’t visualize it actually happening and you don’t replay that vision in your head nearly as often as you should.

If you’re a parent I’m sure that you share a common ‘powerful why’ as Angie and I. We want to be the best parents that we can be. We want to have the energy to keep up with them and participate in fun activities with them. We want to be around to see our kids grow up. We want to see them get married. We want to be around to see their children.

Here’s a video that Angie and I created a little while ago that reveals our powerful reasons why and how we define fitness success…

Let’s say that you tell me one of your powerful reasons why you MUST achieve a lean and healthy body is because

Why Some People Quit And Some People NEVER Give Up

By Tom Venuto, CSCS, NSCA-CPT

Throughout my 18 years in the fitness industry as a trainer, nutrition consultant and motivational coach, I have noticed that some people who start a nutrition and exercise program give up very easily after hitting the first obstacle they encounter. If they feel the slightest bit of discouragement or frustration, they will abandon even their biggest goals and dreams.

On the other hand, I noticed that some people simply NEVER give up. They have ferocious persistence and they never let go of their goals. These people are like the bulldog that refuses to release its teeth-hold on a bone. The harder you try to pull the bone out of his mouth, the harder the dog chomps down with a vice-like grip.

What’s the difference between these two types of people? Psychologists say there is an answer.

Every once in a while you need a swift kick in the butt to get you back on track and living to your full potential. I recently received a kick in the butt from my mentor and coach Deb Micek. She actually called me ‘WEAK’, can you believe that? Not weak physically, but mentally. I was coasting through life and she let me know it.

Are you ready for your butt kicking? Watch this quickie video clip from the movie “Rocky Balboa“. In this clip Rocky gives his son the kick in the butt that he needs to get back on track and living to his potential.

How Winning Is Done!

Let’s discus some of the key points from the Rocky Balboa Speech…

I have an inspiring post to share with you today. It’s about a major breakthrough that my good friend Angie Newton experienced recently. Before I get into the story of her breakthrough I would like you to watch this short video that summarizes Angie’s successful journey of releasing over 70 pounds of unwanted fat…

Angie is an incredible role model for many women around the world. Her journey of continuously improving her health and body may be the one thing that will motivate you to get off your butt and get moving.

Too often we look only at the end result and neglect to appreciate the journey and share the entire journey with those around us. I believe that it’s absolutely valuable to celebrate our victories along the way and to consider people role models even if they have not yet reached their ultimate destination. 70 pounds of weight loss is a tremendous success for Angie. I’m incredibly proud of her. I’m even more proud of her effort to consistently pursue her ultimate goals.

Blasting Through Comfort Zones

Angie has been sharing her weight loss journey at her blog Losing It and Loving It to document her progress, hold herself accountable, and inspire other women and men to become the best that they can be.

I have been encouraging Angie to use video on her blog so that her audience can really get to know the person behind the writing. I find it way more inspiring when I can visually see someone share their challenges and successes. The problem is…
