Ive Been Slacking!

no slacking

I have to admit something. I’ve been slacking! Not as far as workouts have been going, I’ve been hitting them really strong, reps and weight are still going up. But my nutrition has been horrible!  So as I was doling out some advice the other day I decided “That’s it!” and I threw the gauntlet down.  So I’ve been really crushing my nutrition for the past few days and I am going to keep on with it!  I’m putting the hammer DOWN!  Fresh foods, 6 times a day, lots of protein, going to try to make sure I never get hungry, and drinking plenty of water!

It happens, so dont get too down on yourself, just know that every choice you make will take you closer to or further away from your goals!

Things are settling back down from after summit. Theres still a lot going on and it’s a blast.

I’m very excited about what Beachbody has done with the active military members.  Check out my latest post for more info.

Building Good Nutrition

Good nutrition

I’ve tried to get rid of most of my addictions. Smoking, eating junk food, you know the ones that just arent good for you. I hold on to a couple of them, and one is my daily browse of win.failblog.com. Some days they just have some incredible stuff.

Well when I came upon the photo above I really did think “WIN”. I dont know why someone made a picture of a treehouse in a piece of brocoli, but to me, it sure does say, building on good nutrition!

I dont have a background in medicine or nutrition. All I can go off of is my own experiences, and the experiences of people that I know. I realize that’s a very small portion, but it’s what I’ve got to go off of.

I used to visit the my doctors office about 4 times a year. My very overweight doctor would give me medication (that had side effects) and give me different advice for keeping healthy.  Why did I listen to this person in the first place?  I mean, the guy had to be a good 80 pounds overweight and had hardening arteries. But that was what I knew and had grown up with.

Life changed drastically when I started eating good food and exercising daily, and taking supplements like Shakeology. I came off 4 different medications, dropped loads of weight, and havent seen the doctor in I dont know how long.

Building good nutrition is absolutely important. Whatever the excuses are, just throw them out. It is beyond important to both eat right and exercise.

Learn to like new foods, or keep trying new foods till you find the ones you like. Work to build an unbreakable exercise habit that you enjoy. Learn portion control.  Do it now. You WILL see changes in your life.

Letter from Emily

write-letter

Just got this letter from Emily the other day and I asked her for her permission to post is. I thought it was just wonderful and shows so many amazing things. Creating a daily habit of exercise and eating properly are two of the most powerful ways we can affect our lives. Just in a short period of time the affects can be seen.

I love being a Beachbody Coach and getting things like this. I know Emily is going to keep on with this. When you are seeing benefits like this, how can you not?  It’s not fluff, it’s not a game, this is serious life changing business and I love it!

“Hi Will,

I did really well last month.  I am on week 4 of phase 1, and I’m quite enjoying this recovery week.  Here are the things that I surprised myself with in these past 3 and 1/2 weeks:

1. Yoga! I am getting close to doing the Crane and I can do the one move where you are in a warrior stance and you have to clasp your hands behind your back and underneath your leg.  I definitely couldn’t do that move for the first 3 weeks, but this most recent time I did yoga I could do the move, I was absolutely amazed. I’m really enjoying yoga.

2. I’ve lost two inches around my hips, 1 inch on my waist and I’ve lost 5 pounds.  I know it doesn’t sound like a lot but I only have about 12-15 lbs. to lose so I think it is a little more stubborn.  Plus I have had some sweets in the past 2 days, oh birthdays..haha.  But I’m not worried about that, I don’t feel off-track at all.  In fact, it wasn’t as satisfying eating sweets as I thought it would be, so I’m definitely not in a hurry to eat it again.  It kinda brought me down.

3. I have soooooo much more energy, I can wake up at 7:30 and be ready to work out by 7:45.  I don’t feel groggy and hazy in the morning, also my lower back isn’t achy anymore! I was used to waking up every morning with a sore back…not the good kind of sore. But I haven’t felt that once since I’ve been doing P90X…maybe it’s the yoga :-)”
