Hey everyone, Vancouver Radio. Welcome to the Quick Sharp Short Monday show. So today I want to talk

about the realities of our body and our situation. Now as a coach I obviously talk to an awful lot of people about where they are and where they're going and maybe the situation that they're in right there and then and the reason I bring this up is because when we walked

move towards our goals we have to be totally honest with ourselves about what we're

staring in the face and what we've got to do to change what we're staring now. So there's a couple

of examples here that kind of spring to mind. Now it's the summer at the moment, it's kind of

of barbecue season, everyone's being really soc sociable there's a lot going on that

compose a big problem to someone trying to achieve their goals you know you go out

maybe twice a week friends are having barbecue, there's going to be

beer, there's going to be foods, there's maybe foods that you're not

really sure, like how calarific they are and all that kind of stuff and that can

derail a goal. Now when you see, and let's go through a extreme example, when you see a bodybuilder

prepping for a show, you see that they become quite restrictive and alienate a certain amount of their, you know, environment and it might be

that this individual turns up to a barbecue having already prepped their food and like, oh no, this is the

food they're going to eat and the reason why

someone would have to do this is because they have to guarantee their outcome.

Now when you're trying to work towards a goal you have to put in place a system that can guarantee your outcome.

And if you're sitting there at the end of the every week going,

oh, I didn't achieve my goal this week, oh, I still haven't lost weight,

I still haven't got this, the chances are you didn't control enough of the

variables to get to the result or get the result that you wanted. And that's the reality.

And what I don't want you to do is never be fully aware of the reality because when we're aware of the reality

we can accept that we maybe didn't do things that led to the outcome that we want. We cannot sugarcoat things.
