In the last article, you read about how 2 coaches with the same goal took 2 different approaches…

One focused on the end result… and failed miserably.

The other focused on the process it took to achieve the end result, and acheived it with RECORD BREAKING SPEED.

So, we’re gonna dive into the first part of picking this process apart and use it to lose fat.

I believe the first and the most important thing for us to do requires us going through a 2 step process:

1) Set a specific long term goal, and define what it takes to accomplish it. Here’s an example:

I want to Have a Flat Stomach by June 1st. In order to do this, I’ll need to lose 23 pounds of fat.

2) Set your first short term goal. Since the long term goal is 4 months out, the 1st short term goal will be 4 weeks out.

Here’s an example: Today is January 24th, In 4 weeks on February 20th, I want to lose 7 pounds of fat.

The idea here is to split the long term goal into small consumable, realistic action steps that we can watch, track, and tweak.

IMPORTANT

Once we’ve set the long term goal, we put it in the back of our minds and FORGET ABOUT IT.

At this point, the long term goal doesn’t matter anymore. As long as we focus on achieving the short term goals, and actually achieve them, the End Result will automatically materialize by default - without ever having to even think about it again.

So, what we’ll focus on from this point forward is our short 4 week goal: Losing 7 Pounds. Once we get to February 20th, we’ll sit down, and set the next short term goal, and go forward.

This is the absolute most important part of losing fat, breaking it down in chunks… that you can actually SEE and FEEL working immediately.

In the end, all the “little chunks” will add up, and at the very least put us AT our end goal.

That’s part 1.

Part 2 is Diving into the actual process of losing the first 7 pounds and achieving the first 4 week goal.

I want to show you a simple example that we can all relate to, and break down the process…

Washing Dirty Clothes/Doing Laundry

The goal is to have a clean dry set of clothes in 120 minutes.

Here’s the Process:

1. Gather our clothes
2. Put Detergent into the washing machine
3. Set washing machine to run
4. Put clothes into the washing machine
5. Close Top of washing machine
6. When finished, transfer clothes to dryer
7. Set Dryer to 60 minutes
8. Close Dryer Door
9. Push start button

In roughly 120 minutes, we’ll have clean clothes.

Now, Had we laid in bed just thinking about how we want our clothes to be clean, it wouldn’t have gotten done…

Had we set the goal and skipped ANY 1 step in the 9 step process, we would have failed.

Now I know this is a silly example, but you get the point. Each little process had to be completed, and once they’re all added up, we have a new set of clean clothes.

The same is true when we’re trying to lose fat. We lay out a step-by-step system to lose 7 pounds of fat in 4 weeks, and we follow it from one step to the next…

So, the next step in the process is to actually lay out a step by step plan to lose the first 7 pounds during the next 4 Weeks… And then follow it.

I’ll be more than happy to dive deeper into this in my next blog post, but before I do, I want to make sure you want this information…

So, you can let me know you want me to go into it further by leaving a comment below.

** If we receive 25+ comments, I’ll go ahead and discuss how to break down
the step by step plan to lose your first 7 pounds, and what you need to focus on
to get it done. If Not, we’ll move on. Cool?

talk soon!

  11. Richard on January 24th, 2010 5:05 pm

  12. Debbie on January 24th, 2010 5:22 pm

  13. Peter on January 24th, 2010 5:22 pm

    I would really like to follow a program like this

  14. William on January 24th, 2010 5:32 pm

    Hi, I have limited use of my legs and thus limited cardio. I am pretty strong but have a gut. I do crunches and incorperate some upper body fast rep explosive lifting. My diet likely better than most (though more due to my wife strict eating habits than personal dicipline).
    I am seeking some ortho assistance in making a blace that would aid my walking but untill I find a solution my options are limited in the cardio dept.
    Anything you will share that might provide a tool is apreciated. Thanks much, WV Powers

    Yes, I would certainly appreciate the steps. I think that not knowing EXACTLY what to do has been keeping me from losing the weight. It was very easy for me when I was young, but age has made it much more difficul.
