In fitness, you often have to first discover what doesn't work (for you) before you can root out what does. So it's okay to fail at a diet or training program. That means you tried. And learned. And now can use that wreckage to climb a little higher next time.

Don’t force yourself to follow a workout routine that you don’t like, no matter how “scientifically optimal” it might be. Stale training is like stale food. Edible but dreary. Find something that makes you fizz.

Some days, fitness isn't training. It's resting and relaxing and rejuvenating. Some days the work is internal and not external. Don't let this make you feel ashamed or frustrated. A healthy and sustainable regimen isn't a merry-go-round. It's a seesaw.

You wouldn't stop trying at your job the day you get hired. You wouldn't stop managing your money the day you make a good investment. So why do you stop working on your physique the day you get into a relationship?.

When your dog gets too fat, you don't make him fast all day, slash his carbs, or cook him buttered ribeyes. You just feed him less food and walk him more. There's a lesson here.
