My Reasons For Losing Weight and Getting Fit

I sat down this afternoon and typed out some specific reasons for why I'm going to tranform my body.  I'm starting the challenge tommorow...I'm just about all set.  I guess the reason I typed this list out was to remind myself when the going gets tough.

Reasons to Get In Shape·       

  • I want to be a good father and husband.  I want to be able to get up the stairs and tuck the kids in at night.  I want the energy to ride bikes and swim with my kids.  As the head of the house, it’s critical that I be a good role model for my whole family.  I need to lead.  Nothing is more important than good health.
  • I want to feel good about myself.   I don’t want to be depressed; I want to have energy, vitality, and confidence.  I want to be lean, light, sexy and in control.  I want to look great in a business suit and great at the pool. 
  • I want to live a long healthy life.  I don’t want to go through bypass surgery, I don’t want to lose my vision and my limbs to diabetes, I don’t want to die young like Tim Russert.  I want to be here for my kids; I want to hold my grandkids someday. 
  • I want respect.  When people see me, I want them to see someone in control and successful.  I want my clients and perspective clients to see a person who has it together.
  • I want to be an all around confident person.  I want to be able to approach people without an overwhelming fear of rejection.  I want to be able to make recommendations to my clients with confidence.   
  • I want to have pride in myself.  I don’t want to be a joke.  I want be successful.  I’m tired of being embarrassed and humiliated by my weight and the condition of my body.  I’m really tired of feeling inferior to others.  
  • I want to look sensational.  I want to wear incredibly nice suits at work…I want to look like Wall Street when I meet with my clients.  I want to feel great and wear really cool clothes when I hit the town on Saturday night.
  • I want energy.  I have so many things to do in my life:  I want to build a successful investment firm, I want to be a great husband & father, I want to travel, I want to be involved in my community.  I need endless energy to do it all!    

    Peace and Love to you!!
