Keys to Bodybuilding and Fitness Success
Although many strength coaches will tell you there is a big difference between fitness and bodybuilding everyone one seems to understand the term fitness differently. If your objective is to gain muscle and lose fat then you need to be specific about your objective and write it down somewhere.
If you're personal definition of fitness is losing 10 pounds of fat and replacing it with 10 pounds of muscle, you should write it down in your training diary together with a few key pointers on what your own specific motivation is. This is your ultimate objective, or it could be separated into short term objectives.
Determination is the key to success in any endeavor you take on. If we stick to the objective stated above of losing 10 pounds of fat and replacing it with muscle then you should list a few reasons why you want to do this. From trying to impress a girl or guy to improving your health, you need to define the reason why you are training in order to activate visualization techniques.

When will you eat and where will you buy the produce, how will it be prepared? How much food do you need to purchase and what type of foods? What movements will you train each day? Plan your workouts with sets and reps as well as tempo and intensity and your routine should be changed every 6 to 8 weeks.

No-one said it was easy but the better you plan ahead the less time you will need to sort out the problems that will get in your way.
