DAY 25 OF THE 100 DAY CHALLENGE!
Actions Speak Louder Than Words
It’s interesting to me that almost every culture has an idiomatic expression that has this same meaning. When we think of role models, so often we imagine celebrities, athletes, or high-ranking officials. The fact is, we’re all examples of something. Your actions speak much louder than your words, and those around you - family, friends, co-workers - are always paying attention.
This is an especially important issue for parents as it’s well established that children model their behavior after yours and “inherit” your style of living; your good and bad habits are being passed on. How you live, how you problem solve, how you keep commitments to yourself and others, how much you support and encourage others, whether you set worthwhile goals and do what it takes to achieve your objectives - all that, and more. We all have an opportunity to be a positive example and a good role model to those around us. Through this experience, you are becoming a positive example of how to create a better life for yourself and those who depend on you. Good job!
—————————————————————————
I can’t believe Day 25 is already here! I’m 1/4 of the way through this Challenge! I’m seeing some great results, and feel VERY hopeful that I’ll reach my goal (maybe even surpass it) by Day 100! The big thing is to not fall into complacency! Got to keep the intensity going!

DAY 24 OF THE 100 DAY CHALLENGE!
You Can Only Soar as High as Your Lowest Habit
Habits, like sandbags tied to a hot air balloon, can limit your ascent to a higher quality of life. Low-level habits create low-level living. High- level habits allow you to rise up and reach higher and higher. With that in mind, today you need to do a little self-analysis and consider your “lowest level” habit. Really become aware of it, and become more determined to transform that negative habit into a positive one. As you continue on, you will find that you must constantly transform your habits in order to ascend and reach higher and higher. It’s not easy, but you can do it.
———————————————————————————
This morning I wasn’t able to go to the local gym (next to work) for my daily morning workout! I had to take my car in to the shop to get inspections and emmissions passed. That time of the year again! SO . . . will have to do a couple of workouts this evening when I head to THROWDOWNETC in Orem! The diet has been going really well. It’s so interesting, because this morning as I was getting ready for the day, I could really see that my stomach is flattening out - WHICH IS TOTALLY GREAT! I’m sure I’ll see even more results during the last two weeks of the Cutting Phase and into the Maintenance Phase! I don’t know what other people think about the daily “motivationals” that come in their email, but I really like them! They help me maintain focus! It’s been great!

EVENING WORKOUT AT THROWDOWNETC
Spin Cycle - 35 minutes
Renegade Boot Camp w/ Jason Mertlich, Instructor
All I can say about last night’s boot camp is that it was brutal! Too much for me to remember all of the details. Felt really good, though! If you’ve never done one, you should come to Throwdown and do it! It’s great!
I burned 4415 calories on 01/26. #bodybuggtweet & took 10,007 steps! GREAT diet: http://www.100DaysToVictory.com

DAY 23 OF THE 100 DAY CHALLENGE!
The End Is In Sight - Feel Your Urgency Pick Up!
One thing is certain - setting deadlines is perhaps the most powerful motivator there is. That’s why at The 100 Day Challenge we set a specific deadline for when we’re going to finish. Knowing exactly when you’re first measurable mile marker is going to hit allows you to harness the positive power of pressure. Moving closer and closer to your deadline, you should be noticing your level of urgency picking up. Many success stories note that their focus increased so much during their last weeks of the “Cutting Phase” and the overall 100 Day Challenge that they were often able to make as many positive changes during the final weeks as they did during the previous ones! So today, make sure you’re aware of your deadline for finishing the program. Look forward to your deadline, and allow it to give you a burst of energy as you head down the final stretch!
Challenge: Review your Master and Daily Goals. Take 10 to 15 minutes each day to meditate and contemplate your goals and how they will improve your life and the lives of those you care about.
—————————————————————————-
If you don’t recognize it, the little motivational above is from the daily email that you get when you do the 100 Day Challenge with A Fighter’s Diet. Today’s is SO true! I’ve been finding myself lately realizing that there isn’t much time left to hit my “Cutting Phase” goals, and that I really need to make sure I stay focused right up to the end of the Cutting Phase! I really do feel like I have more energy now, too. Last night when I was doing Renegade, we were doing an exercise that required your arms to be above your head quite a bit, and guess what - I could actually see my bicep! That may seem like nothing to you, but mine has been hiding under a layer of fat for awhile now, so it was good to see it again!
