MISSION #17 - SET A DEADLINE!

Bodybuilding and Figure competitors change their behaviours dramatically come contest time as they know they're going to be standing on stage wearing nothing but a sparkly, overpriced bikini or a teeny, tiny g string thingo.

If you knew you were going to be seen half-naked by hundreds of people, while standing in a spotlight on a stage on a certain date, would you cheat on your diet? 

Would you skimp on your cardio? 

Would you half-ass your way through a workout?

I know you wouldn't.

You don't have to be a competitive bodybuilder or Figure competitor to adopt this kind of discipline, but it does help to have a deadline of some type. 

Maybe it's a trip to the beach. 

A Holiday. 

A public event. 

Or maybe you just post on your Facebook page that you’re program starts today and expect a new and improved photo in 2 months time.

That accountability will surely light a fire under your ass!
