In today&#8217;s soft society, this has become the exception rather than the norm.

It&#8217;s not me saying &#8220;oh you do it this way but I do it another way, so I&#8217;m better than you&#8221;.  If I&#8217;m giving tough love on something, it&#8217;s because <em>I&#8217;ve been where you&#8217;re at<\/em>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been living this lifestyle for years, and I&#8217;ve experienced my share of failures and setbacks.  All of that has taught me where some of the common pitfalls are.  Do you think I learned all of this in a damn textbook?  Absolutely not!  I learned it through trial and error.  I&#8217;ve tried a lot more things that <em>don&#8217;t work<\/em> than the ones that do work.  The only thing that sets me apart is that I learn from it and keep coming back for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope that by sharing my experiences, I can help get you on the fast track to reaching your goals.  It&#8217;s basically all of the stuff I wish I had learned earlier.  That said, you <em>will<\/em> still fail at times.  Even I still fail sometimes!  I&#8217;m definitely not perfect, but I&#8217;m getting better all the time.  When you fail at the fitness game, it&#8217;s like falling off a bike.  You just have to get up, rub you knees off, and get back on.  Anybody who tells you it&#8217;s easy is trying to sell you something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve read any of my stuff, you know this is a blog filled with tough love.
