If you head blindly into a lifestyle change or diet without any knowledge in that area, you are setting yourself on a path to failure.
You aren’t going to see the right results [in the time frame that you want] therefore you will be unmotivated and you will give up.
Do you know these terms? Glycemic Index. HIIT. Basal Metabolic Rate. Glycogen. Lactic acid. Plyometrics. Isometrics. Posture. Core. If not, start doing some research! Okay, well you don’t have to get that obsessive, but it never hurts to know more and it’ll make your path to a healthier lifestyle a lot easier.
You can hire a personal trainer or take classes but one of my biggest motivators that got me to change my lifestyle (that was also FREE) were all the health and fitness blogs I subscribed to. All that addicting information opened my eyes to a whole new world that I barely knew anything about and I wanted more. I wanted to be part of it. I wanted to see if I applied all those tips and methods to my life, would it work for me?
Having knowledge suddenly made me realize how “easy” it was to achieve my goals and it provided me with the motivation that I needed because a clear path suddenly opened up. It seemed like there was no room for failure.
Unfortunately, there was. The only thing that could stop me was myself but luckily for me, one of my biggest fears is failure and I knew if I let that happen, I’m never going to let it go especially with all this knowledge that I now had.
It got me excited.
I was unstoppable.
And I still am. 
Are you?
