I love this acronym. It stands for “Getting S*** Done”.  I fell in love the term/concept immediately when I read an article years ago by Kristin Armstrong (yes, Lance’s ex) where she described in detail this concept as somewhat a personality trait. Basically, the “go to” people who seem to get it done, meet deadlines etc… have the GSD trait. They rarely, if ever, have to employ an excuse for failing accomplish something. We love these people, right? They are the best folks to work with, they are our best friends, and typically are great to be around. I think they also tend to be the best at meeting their goals in health/ fitness/ weight loss. It makes sense. So as spring and summer approach, (with the thought baring more skin looming), where do you stand with your goals? Have you reached them or are they still the same as they were 6 months ago? What have you allowed to stand in the way of hitting the mark? Is GSD in your DNA?

So last night I was watching Biggest Loser, right now it’s the only show I make time for and I really have to try at it! BUT this is probably the 3rd episode I’ve caught and I’m really captivated. There are a number of things that stick out to me as a trainer. First, the overwelming point that environment is one of the most important drivers for weight loss for these contestants. They all are most afraid of being sent home because they know how much harder weight loss is there…. THIS speaks volumes people! I’m sure it’s no different for the rest of us. Indeed, sabotage from even those who are supporters abounds at the workplace (donuts anyone?), at home, and in marketing messages (I’m lovin it!”. Obvious or subtle we all know they are around us. So what do we do about it?

So I’ve changed the settings on this thing so it should be far easier to comment/post.  Let’s see…..
