Ever meet someone who wanted to get in shape, so they opened their front door and started running? Two days later, they were back on their couch eating Twinkies. The yellow foamy part first and then the creamy center. Maybe that person was you. You never really had a plan. You saw people running around your neighborhood and they all looked like they were in shape.

You wanted to lose weight, too. When you ran you got out of breath, so you thought running must be a great exercise to burn the maximum amount of calories. You thought if you could just run one cement slab further each day, you would be in the best shape of your life before long.

Did you know what you were going to eat to help get rid of those extra pounds, or what to eat to recover from that run you just went on? Did you know the more you run the less calories you are going to burn, and the less effective your exercise is going to be?

When you dove headfirst into a program like this, your intentions were great. But you didn’t succeed. Why not? What do you need to master this time in order to be successful?

You need to get your priorities straight.
