Seriously. I just read it. Loved it. Shared it.

(A LOT of this text is hyperlinked to good info on other pages, so you should seriously view the original article at the link above.)
I want to lose weight. Eat less and move more.
I also want to be healthy. Eat less crap and more real food.
I want abs. Eat VERY clean and lift heavy, like Saint.
I want to build muscle and get bigger. Lift heavy, eat enough protein, and increase your calorie intake.
I want results. Track everything. “That which is measured gets improved.”
Do I need a gym membership? Nope.
I don’t have time to work out. Yes, you do.
I don’t like eating [specific healthy food]. Don’t eat it. Double up on [specific healthy food you DO like].
I don’t like [specific physical activity]. Then don’t do it.
I do enjoy [specific physical activity]. Good, do more of that.
Should I take [expensive supplement]? No. Spend the money you save on healthier food options.
It hurts when I do [specific exercise]. Fix your form or do a different exercise that works the same muscles.
I’m not motivated today. Now you are.
