Am I lucky….or is it my subconscious?

I started weight training in late 1999.  I have been training reasonably consistently all that time  only skipping a year when I was recuperating from a broken neck via a surfing accident.

I can’t say the same for my eating unfortunately and have had to learn the hard way that correct eating is more important than being a great lifter.

I also found out the hard way how easy it is to lose muscle mass. I lost over 20 lbs of the stuff in hospital and then put on over 30 lbs of the blubbery stuff whilst feeling sorry for myself.

I completely changed my physiology for the worse but fortunately I’m now on the way back to my best conditioning ever.

On my way back to my best

But back to my question…Am I lucky …..or is it my subconscious?

What are you talking about Dougal?

I LOVE weight training…Love it, and that is as a result of telling myself I love it. I have programmed my sub conscious chock full of affirmations to do with my health and fitness.  They are always framed in the present and when I visualise, it is as if I am already there.

My sub conscious has overidden all the old files in my hard drive that used to say…Ahhh, I really don’t feel like training, or I’ll just put in  a set or two and done.

Nowadays….the voice in my head says…“I love weight training and cardio, and I love to eat healthy and nutritious foods that keep me healthy, I am very lean, strong and muscular and I have never felt or looked  better.”

And now after some time, those aren’t just words those are the truth because no matter what I WAS, it is NOW that I’m concerned with and if I’m not happy with what I am now it is really a simple thing to change. Simple but not easy. Takes a little time but it WILL happen if you stick with it.

Change into who you want to be so it fits like a like a new suit.  How good does it feel, how sharp does it look on you. Don’t let yourself drift in a sea of mediocracy,  and give the couch back to Fido, he couldn’t care less what He looks like.

PEACE and LOVE
