A little while ago I discovered the website called TubeMogul (http://www.tubemogul.com) which allows you to upload your videos to a bunch of video sites with one click.  It also tracks the videos you publish.  Below are my statistics from YouTube since February 1, 2008:

The amazing thing is how this increases accountability.  I can clearly see that people are viewing my videos and I can also see in my blog statistics that people are coming in from YouTube.com to view my blog.  If you have more than one video site account I strongly suggest using TubeMogul (http://www.tubemogul.com).

As I look around me in the world I have to wonder, where's the effort?  Today was the primary election here in California.  The people I know who complain the loudest about the government couldn't be bothered to do a thing about their complaints, not even going to the polls to vote.  Where's the effort?

In the gym each day I see people who are clearly stopping way short of where their maximum effort should be.  It is obvious they are only there for the ability to say they “workout” when the reality is they cruise.  Where's the effort?

If you are going to give push ups a go and try to improve the number you can do, shouldn't you actually push as hard as you can?  If you watch my video, I actually started for #46 and had complete failure.  That's effort.  Why do people constantly say they “try” to do this or that?  Where's the effort?

“Do or do not, there is no try!” — Yoda

I just don't get it.  Why bother getting up at 4 a.m., going out into the cold, entering a gym, taking up precious space and using the equipment if you aren't going to give it your all?  Who are you fooling anyway?  Where's the effort?

People tend to take the easy way out on things.  I really can't understand that.  I don't mean to be harsh, but come on already!  If you are going to complain about the government, get out and vote or shut your mouth on that subject.  If you are going to complain about your physique, get out and do something about it or shut your mouth on that subject as well.  If you're going to hit the weights, give it everything you've got or don't even go at all.  Where's the effort?

I can't say that I love getting up every day and falling to sleep early every night, but I do it because I know I need to be in the best shape possible and this is the only way I can pull it off.  I give it my all because there's no point in being there if I don't.  I make it a point to never try.  Trying gets you no where.  You have to do or you aren't progressing.  That's all I have to say for the day.

Accountability Log:

I missed my 9:30 a.m. meal today and had it at 10:30 a.m. because of an emergency at the office.  Hence, I get a red mark for my 9:30 a.m. meal.  The rest of the list was spot on.  I guarantee I'm going to gain some weight this week because I feel like all I do is EAT!

I was thinking about the Super Bowl today and another issue came to mind.  What exactly happened in that game?  The Giants hung around and managed to strike a knock out punch with just 35 seconds left in the game.  The Patriots ran out of time.  But what would have happened if there had been more time for Tom Brady and the Patriots?  We won't ever know, bu twe can certainly take an educated guess.

My guess is that with extra time, the Patriots would have come back and taken the lead.  Would they have won?  If time ran out, yes, but if there was even more extra time, the Giants would likely come back and take the lead again.  It would be a seesaw battle.  This is why sports like football, hockey, soccer and basketball all have time limits.  If they were to just let the football teams fight it out there might never be an end to a game.

It is much the same thing with fat loss programs and physique transformation missions.  There is a time limit whether we like it or not.  If we were allowed to just continually extend the time limits, eventually we would get tired of not making any real progress because the fact is that when we are given more time, we take more time.  It is human nature.  Faced with a deadline, people become very efficient.  Faced with unlimited time, people don't make any changes for the better.

You can't have the attitude that you can just hang around.  Hanging around only gets you so far.  At some point, you have to decide that enough is enough.  You have to take massive action and get things to happen for you.  That's the only way to successfully change your physique.

These are all my thoughts on the need for a deadline.

Nutrition for today:

Clearly I've met my goals again today and that makes me happy.  I have learned the value of a plan today.  I keep wanting to go back to Max-OT, but I realize that my plan was done for a very specific reason and I don't want to get off track with my plan.  If I didn't have a plan, I'd be jumping around from this workout and that workout without getting any real results.

With clean eating and intense weight lifting supplemented by HIIT cardio and some steady state cardio, I am going to shred fat like there's no tomorrow! 

Until tomorrow…GET BACK TO LIFTING!
