Quotes:

 

โ€œYou need to know your vision, you need to have a schedule, and you need to know your numbersโ€”but those numbers do not always come from the bathroom scale.โ€

 

โ€œBeing able to feel it, see it in your mind, and know what it is you want is a super quick shortcut to getting what it is that you want.โ€

 

โ€œThere is magic in [putting] pen to paper and then having your schedule somewhere you can see it.โ€

 

โ€œThe bottom line is: you do need to know, at least in broad strokes, what youโ€™re consuming.โ€
