On your birthday thank your parents and celebrate with them. They are the reason you are here and it is their day too.

Surround yourself with positive, energetic, successful people and learn from them.

Before starting a fitness program or diet, know why you're doing it. Have specific goals with deadlines and visualize the end result each night before going to bed.

The people who put limits on your abilities, goals, or dreams, may not be the people you want to associate yourself with.

They may never say it, but your parents really are proud of you when you follow your heart and chase your dreams.

Everyday I attempt to consume 4,000 Calories and 200 grams of protein. I don't always reach that mark but when I go to bed at night I know that I did the best I could given my schedule and the circumstances that day.

The people who are scared of going on a diet are the people who could benefit the most from one.
