Don't Wait Until You Feel Motivated to Exercise!
You probably feel that you will eventually get in shape. You are simply waiting to get motivated. Understand this. Motivation will never suddenly drift your way. You cannot buy motivation.
You are not going to wake up one morning and suddenly feel motivated. It just will not happen. Do you wait until you feel motivated to go to work? Do you wait until you feel motivated to wash your hair, brush your teeth, cook, clean, or eat. No! You just do these things because you need to. Guess what? You need to treat your fitness exactly the same way.
So, beginning today, toss the I will wait until I am motivated thinking right out the front door. Do something now.
If you are not sure where to start, the easiest thing to do is join a health club. Get a phone book. What are you waiting for? Get your local phone book. You want to get fit, right?
Look under health clubs. Call for rates. Ask about enrollment fees, joining fees, and their monthly rates. Do not believe you cannot afford it. Do you hesitate for one minute to write a $50 check to your cable company every month or charge $50-$75 for dinner at your favorite restaurant? Or how about $80 for a new outfit or shoes?
Once you narrow it down to the three best health clubs, drive to each one. Look for cleanliness, friendliness, a variety of cardio, strength training machines, and free weights. Look for a club that has certified personal trainers. Meet one. Enroll. Arrange for your personal training session first thing tomorrow morning.
I am going to be waiting for you to email me with any questions you have about health clubs. I am not going to give you the next step until I hear from you. Send an email to bell@losethelieslosetheweight.com. I will look forward to guiding you toward getting in the best shape of your entire life.
If you cannot afford a personal trainer, for now, you may use the workout plans in the book, Lose the Lies, Lose the Weight, http://www.losethelieslosetheweight.com.

Lose Your "Lies" and Lose Your Weight
Welcome to the first installment of the Lose the Lies Lose the Weight Blog!
Dear Reader,
Have you ever noticed those unbelievably fit men and women and wondered how they do it? Well, here's your chance to learn how fit people think, eat, move, and live. This new Lose the Lies Lose the Weight blog will teach you the fitness lifestyle so weight loss and body shaping success will come naturally for you!
Since this is our first issue, I will provide my background on my weight loss struggle and how I became so interested in helping others beat their weight battles.
When I was 15 years old, my parents retired from their North Dakota farm and moved to the city. Within three months, I gained 25 pounds and the adjective chubby with my new citified, sedentary lifestyle.
My weight-loss battle began, using weapons ranging from fasting and over-the-counter diet pills to sporadic exercise. Nothing worked.
Fast forward to today. I am a 42-year-old mother of two sporting a six-pack on the cover of my just released book, Lose the Lies Lose the Weight, which explains how I did it and how you can too.
I started winning the battle of the bulge in my junior year at Minnesota State University, Moorhead. My turnaround came on like an epiphany. I did some math. I realized if I kept gaining five pounds a year, I would weigh 175 pounds at 30, 225 pounds at 40, and 275 pounds at 50. Putting my self-doubts aside, I joined a health club in Fargo the next day. In March of 1987, I began living the fitness lifestyle.
Your mindset, getting ready to succeed, is an important part of getting fit. Many fitness authors do not prepare you for the psychological challenges you will face as you strive to get in shape. In the first six chapters of Lose the Lies, Lose the Weight, I teach you how to get mentally prepared to win at weight loss.
In Lose the Lies Lose the Weight, http://www.losethelieslosetheweight.com, I destroy the weight loss lies such as (Everyone gains weight as they get older) and (You will never look the same after having kids.) I also identify 10 destructive lies people tell themselves, six manipulative lies they hear from others, four nutrition and two exercise lies.
Getting fit requires honesty with yourself (no lies, no excuses) knowledge, discipline, and motivation. In each blog post, I will share my knowledge so you will be able to get in the best shape of your entire life. I am looking forward to helping you achieve your fitness goals.
Yours in good health,
Laurie Bell
