Did I Just Hear You Say “Yah, BUT…” ?!
I have a pet peeve.
It’s a pretty big one.
Wanna know what it is?
Well, since you asked, I’ll tell you.
It’s people that ask me how to do something (like get as fit and lean as I am, for instance), then respond in the middle of my explanation with “Yah, but … (insert ‘excuse of the day’ here).”
GROWL !!!
“Yah, but …”
Another way of saying “I hear you but I want you to tell me how to do it AND let me have all my bad habits, too …”
LISTEN UP !!
Those of us who CARE about our goals and are COMMITTED to getting them don’t make excuses.
We don’t say “Yah, but …”
Sure, maybe we don’t WANT to work out every day. Maybe we don’t WANT to eat broccoli instead of ice cream …
But we shut up and we DO IT ANYWAY.
We know that “Yah, but…” doesn’t get us ANYWHERE, and certainly doesn’t help us reach our goals.
Alright. Did you recognize yourself in that little diatribe?
Do you find yourself saying “Yah, but…” a lot?
Does it usually sound like this: “Yah, but I don’t know HOW to cook or eat for fat loss and muscle gain” ?!
Well, you’re in luck because I have the EXACT RESOURCE YOU NEED to learn how …

I hear you loud and clear. I do some private personal training and get this all the time.
Why do you pay me if you are not going to listen to me?
I know some things are hard but what do you want, your goal or that instant gratification.
We all have choices, are they taking you towards or goal or from it?

Jason THANK YOU!!! I get so tired of hearing why people can’t take my advice, even when they know my advice is accurate, good AND do-able (if they really wanted to).
cheers

OMG…If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me how to get fit and immediately gave me the “Yah, but” after I tell them-I would be flying first class every time I travel to the states! Go sista!

I try to break it down into phases for my clients so that they get some downtown, ie. they can be more lax with their diet during the building phase. I don’t really like the idea of cheat days, I find people just go way too overboard, and I also think it creates unhealthy associations with food as a reward.
