Good morning y’all, let me ask you something…
If you never played a game of football in your life and you were asked to play quarterback for the Rams in the NFL, how would you do?
Probably horrible, right?
Well, getting in shape (and staying in shape) is just like any sport. It takes practice to get better. You can’t expect to get on the field and throw like an all-pro immediately. It takes practice.
The tough task of going from pizza and ice cream to fish and green beans overnight doesn’t happen. You have to “practice” making better decisions. **Side note, you do not have to eat only fish and green beans to be healthy (Check out some grill recipes HERE)
Your outcome is dictated by how well you practice.
Listen, your first couple of weeks or even months are probably not going to go “as planned” and might be downright ugly. But the more you practice, the better you get. Then over time, these better decisions become more natural because of your consistent practice.
And YES… even after you get good at it, you have to continue practicing (just like a sport, go Vikings). If not, your skills (which is your decision making) will go bad and you’ll have to start over.
Sorry kiddo, but that’s how it works.
Every day is practice.
Let’s have a great practice today even if Allen Iverson doesn’t want to!
