So, you're looking to do something with your body. Chances are, you're overweight and looking to shed some pounds. Or maybe you're a hard-gainer and looking to bulk up. Either way, the only way to get to your end game is through food. I DON'T CARE THAT YOU RAN FOR 4 HOURS. If you ain't eatin' right, you ain't gainin' right. It's that simple.
Your body is a wonderland. Actually, it probably isn't because like most Americans, you've been filling it with crap. I get it. Junk food is easy, it's cheap and you've convinced yourself that it tastes good. You've been eating junk for so long that it's the only thing your body is comfortable with, so guess what? Of course it's going to try and tell you healthier alternatives don't taste as good. WE'RE CREATURES OF HABIT THAT HATE GETTING OUT OF OUR COMFORT ZONE. Guess what your attempt at a new diet is? NEW. So you know what? You're body & brain will fight you because they aren't used to it. You try it for a month and chances are you end up bagging it. I've been there.
We may be creatures of habit, but we are also cognizant and that is huge. We have the ability to sense and feel, yet perpetually neglect them. We take it for granted. We know we should eat cleaner, but we hit the BK drive-through at 2AM for a double whopper with cheese (obvi), large fries and 5 piece chicken strips.
So what do you do? How do you get over it? I have the answer for you and it's going to f*cking blow your mind: Just get over it. Just get over it. Just get over it. That's it. Nike ain't lying when they say "Just Do It." Do it. It's that simple. Guess what happens when you don't do anything? Nothing. Guess what happens when you do something? Something. Next time you hit that 30 day mark and you start craving Domino's, say "I'll order the two medium two topping pizzas deal tomorrow." On day 31 when you're still craving pizza, say "I'll order the two medium two topping pizzas deal tomorrow." You do this for another week and you're golden. At this point, clean eating and lifting is the new norm for your bod. It won't want that old lifestyle because it's just that, old.
Now your brain is re-wired to be muscle fiend. You're seeing the fat peel away at the gym. You're straight-subtle flexing in the mirror at the gym because you're seeing these new ridges and boulders on your body and you're swagging. Congratulations. Everyone can see you doing that. You know what though? F*ck them. You worked hard to get there.
Progress continues but it's slower. Few more lbs down. Maybe a vein or two start popping, but chances are you've hit another wall. You start bumming and that laziness creeps back in. Figure it out, brah, it's simple. YOU HAVE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. How do you expect the brain and body to progress if you don't challenge them? When you start bumming and doubting, your brain starts to connect those thoughts with other negative things, i.e. junk food. While you may have convinced yourself in the past that it makes you feel good, you're body knows it's slowly being destroyed.
Fix that. Take a minute to look at what you've accomplished every week. How'd it make you feel? Do it the next week. Keep this pattern up for a 4-6 weeks. You know what you do then? Change it the f*ck up. Get out of your comfort zone again. Challenge the brain and body. This time, when you get bummed, your body & brain are going to want to revert to last months workout because it's not as challenging. And you know what? THAT'S AWESOME BECAUSE BEFORE IT DIDN'T WANT TO TOUCH A WEIGHT.
And that's all you're doing. You're climbing that ladder and every step higher is another step removed from all that junk you were so used to.
Evolve or die, brahs. Evolve or die.
