I was just thinking about the before and afters that Bonnie has been updating on the website and I am so moved by the changes, I get chills knowing that Longevity had a lot to do with the commitment and changes that these women have made. But sobering also is the thought at the few that did not get the results they drove their bodies so hard for. I want to divorce myself from the thought that I may not have pushed them hard enough or wasn't able to encourage them enough... or just somehow let them down. I don't believe I could have asked them to work out harder, and I feel pretty good that I unbiasly encouraged all the recruits... the answer I find time and time again is the diet journal. The hard work, the blood, bruises, sweat and tears amount to a bunch of "dung" if you erase your intense training by poor eating. Or not even eating poorly but by not being as conscious of your diet as you are your exercise. We must all count every god-forsaken calorie the same as we count every freakin repetition. The next six weeks will be very trying,... Trying because I am going to push you to the brink of wanting to quit... The next six weeks will be encouraging,... because every time you think you can't do more, I will be right next to you as you "do more... much more"... You are about to amaze yourself with what you can accomplish and you are about to amaze your friends and family at how good you are going to look... all of this in just six weeks. You bring 100%, "A" game every workout... and count every calorie... honestly count... you will be the envy of all those around you! They will beg you for your secret... shhhhh!
