Running Sucks! Or is it Just me?

Running for me is definitely a love-hate relationship. At times running does suck. I mean from 100m repeats to mile repeats, I have said in my own head, “What are you doing?!” Again running is a love-hate but I realized that running is the only sport that challenged me to be better at something continuously. So it’s not that I just love to run but I respect what running has done for my life. Running gave me an outlet to release my emotions and express myself from a dysfunctional home.

15 Minute Workouts or Nah?

Are 15 minute workouts good to do? The answer is, yes and no. My sister loved my illustration so I will share it with you. Yes from the stand point that something is better than nothing. No from the stand point that your results will be limited if any at all. So here’s the illustration I like to use: If you are remodeling your kitchen and I mean a complete overhaul and your contractor says, “I will come by your house and work on your kitchen 15 minutes a day until the kitchen is done.”

“About That Life” Praise Him!
  • About that life; Being in harmony and peace within yourself and your surroundings
  • Praise; express warm approval or admiration of

What does working out have to do with praising HIM? Yes the Lord! Well more than we may ever know. I always talk about making a healthy and active lifestyle bigger than looking good in a bikini or having a six pack. Although those aspects are very important ) they alone will not give anyone the motivation to continue the journey. Once you reach those physical goals, your journey ends and its back to the same ole’ lifestyle you had before. How do you keep from going back? How do you make the journey continuous? Here’s the reality, if the physical results are the main reason you are in the gym and eating kale, then you are not about that life!

Desire+ Disgust= Change

Desire; strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen

Disgust; a feeling of revulsion or profound disapproval aroused by something unpleasant or offensive

As most of you are aware, I am an Advocare Distributor. I absolutely love the company, maybe more than the products, and that’s saying something because their products are untouchable. Well anyway, as I was sitting at an Advocare conference, the speaker made the statement, “If your level of disgust and level of desire are not the same, then change will never happen.”

Being in Shape Doesn’t Make You Special

“Imma Tell You Like My Momma Told Me”……

I see people wanting to represent the lifestyle of fitness, and most do it well. We can get a little self-consumed when it comes to training the body, so there has to be a balance. Even the good book says that “physical training has some value.” Key word is “some;” we need to have a measure of fitness and being active but just because you do doesn’t make you special! I saw this commercial of a man doing pull ups off a helicopter while it was flying in the air. I mean for what!

Fitness is not a Luxury
  • Fit (Fitness)- how well a person is suited for physical tasks
  • Luxury- Something inessential but conducive to pleasure and comfort. 2. Something expensive or hard to obtain

As I have moved back to my hometown, I have noticed there are no sidewalks for runners or walkers or any bike lanes for bikers. Now from where I moved from, you could jog through neighborhoods, the downtown, even over the interstate and around the business areas, all because of sidewalks.

Get On It!

It is the top of the summer and this is the time to be looking your hottest. It is 100 degrees outside so its not like you can just cover up and be cool. So if you have not been on it get on it! You have 60 days until the holiday seasons begin and you will have every excuse not to be on top of your workout game. If you already have battled through issues and maintained a steady regimen, I am very proud of you and you should be reaping the rewards of your hard work. If you have not, get on it!

So What is Eating Clean?

So what is eating clean? 

Glad you asked! It is the consumption of food in its most natural state – or as close as possible. This is the core of clean eating. Basically, eating clean is the practice of eating whole and natural foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and complex carbohydrates. It’s not a diet; it’s a lifestyle approach to food and its preparation, leading to health, well-being and a lean look.
