Are you really ready to lose fat? There is a test. Don't worry, it won't be the Marine Corps type of test. You won't have to stand at attention in 95 degree heat with 100 percent humidity while sand flies and mosquitoes eat you alive. There won't be a drill instructor yelling at you "Do not move! Don't you dare move!" (Been there - Parris Island - done that - got the t-shirt)
Nor will you have to stay in the Horse Stance for an hour like my Fo Jow Pai (Black Tiger Kung Fu) instructor had me do.
But like a good workout program, you need to evaluate where you are now so you can make a plan to move forward in your quest to lose fat.
Here's the test:
* Could you go without eating for one day?
* What's the greatest physical challenge you've ever faced, and how long ago was it?
* How often do you exercise?
* Do you shower/bathe every day?
* Do you get up at the same time every morning? Including weekends?
* How do you look right now? What does your appearance say about your level of discipline (clothes, grooming, etc)?
* Do you have any addictions (caffeine, nicotine, sugar, drugs etc.) you'd like to break but haven't?
* When was the last time you consciously adopted a positive new habit? Discontinued a bad habit?
* Do you primarily select foods to eat based on health considerations or on taste or being full?
* Are you in debt? Do you consider this debt an investment or a mistake?
* Do you have clear, written goals? Do you have written plans to achieve them?
* Can you tell me what you'll be doing tomorrow? Next weekend?
* How many items on your to do list are older than 90 days?
* If you make a promise to someone, what's the chance you'll keep it?
* If you make a promise to yourself, what's the percentage chance you'll keep it?
* Is your email inbox empty right now?
* Is your office neat and well organized?
* Is your home neat and well organized?
* How well organized is your computer's hard drive?
* How many hours of focused work do you complete in a typical workday?
* Did you decide in advance to be reading this book right now, or did it just happen?
* On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your overall level of self-discipline?
* How much TV do you currently watch? Could you give up TV for 30 days?
* How much time do you spend on email, texting or on the phone?
* How much time do you spend socializing, hanging out?
*How much time do you waste in a typical day, on a weekend?
Did you pass or fail the test. It really is up to you to decide.
This test is meant to make you self-aware.
