Fitness

Most people who repeat the same cycles in starting their exersise programs, only end up yo-yoing in defeat. Why is this such a continuous obstical in obtaining fitness for life???

Some reasons are as followed:

1. Feelings of selfishness to take time out for yourself consistently.

2. Improper planning in prioritizing your days.

3. Caught up with sudden demands that take your focus off your needs, energies and time.

4. Loss of encouragement, No accountability or partnership.

5. Hit the wall through over-training, boring and repetitious workouts.

6. The people you are close to you or want to please discourage your success in a mirage of ways…….(insecurities, jealousy, envy, fear).

I lived through all of these situations. I gave myself permission to live my life and allow responsibilty to fall on my shoulders.

I believe that the only way to measure success is to make a date with your goals…..

*People perish because of lack of VISION*

Start by overcoming your fears…The “WHAT IF’S“, “I CAN’TS” —– Reverse the fears and ask yourself….What will I get out of this that is good? I can do all things with a Goal in mind and a plan to follow……

INSTEAD OF KEEPING YOUR EYES FOCUSED ON YOUR NEED TO LOOSE FAT AND GET INTO THE SHAPE YOU WANT TO BE AT………GET YOUR FOCUS ON TRAINING FOR AN EVENT……

Pick an event (For everyone, not just athlets) that you can enter, train consistently with a specified date, educate and position your steps in daily training with one sole purpose…..To thrive and to say “Mission Completed”.

Event Examples: Walk or Jog a 10k

Climb a mountain (Check out Tony Louch’s climb….on my blogroll)

Enter an event for a worthy cause

Triathalon, Marathon, A Bike Event

*Consider any activity that you would ENJOY as your goal.

Balance toward your Goals in Fitness and Health is not about perfection—-It’s about your steps toward your goals within your nutritional needs ……

     These are tips to help you focus everyday…..

1.   Pick 1-3 Proteins, Fiberous Carbs and Starchy Carbs

      per week to shop for.

2.   Use small Tupperware containers (15-20) with lids

       to prepare BALANCED meals and to freeze store.

3.   Pick one time per week to cook meals.  Allowing 1-2

      hours for preparation and clean up.

4.   Prepare completed meals for On the Go.  Frozen

       meals take 3-5 minutes to cook in the microwave.

5.   Make serving sizes between 4-6 ozs Protein, 3/4 cup

       Fiberous Carbs and 1/2 - 3/4 cup Starchy Carbs.

       before bed. If still hungry…double Fiberous Carbs.

7.   To lose FAT… you must keep sugars between 6-10

      grams per meal (Better to utilize Low Sugar Fiberous

      Fruits)….Example: All Berries, Apples & Pears.

8.   Muscle weighs more than fat (Like rock verses

      cotton) If you are working a fitness program, When

      the scale does’nt move, your inches will.

9.   Eat protein within 45 minutes after workout, so you

      feed your muscle tissue.  1  1/2 hours later you need
