The title pretty much says it all! "THIS SH*T IS NOT OPTIONAL". I see so many people approaching health and fitness with an optional mentality...  When it's gets hard, you quit. When it's time consuming, you quitWhen it feels uncomfortable, you quitWhen you are not motivated, you quitIf it "doesn't work for you", you quit A lot of things in life are not optional... health and fitness should be one of those things. From the moment I realized this was a life-long journey I decided to never quit. Sure, I have had my share of set backs and difficulties but I never gave up or stopped completely. It's hard (so hard) to show up and workout or track my food when I don't want to... but it's also hard to parent, or work, or to do many other things I do in a day but I show up and do my best in all things. The difference is the mentality and how I think and speak to myself: It's simply not an option to go more than 2/3 days without a workout. It's not an option to hit my protein goal. I will no it no matter what. You need to adopt this same mentality if you want to keep showing up. At first it will feel forced and before you know it you will be doing new habits without thinking about it.
