Workout out so I don’t die = Powerful Motivation
When I really decided to lose weight my motivation was so that I wouldn’t die. A couple weeks ago, I talked about why motivation is so important. Motivation is important in regards to your general health and mental sanity, it helps you stay on task. It acts as the fuel to get you from Point A to Point B. Take me for example, my motivation to lose weight, to go from 308 pounds to a current weight of 220ish was so that I wouldn't die. I saw a TV reporter on ESPN talking about how 60% of lineman in college or the...
Are You Sabotaging Yourself?
A couple quick question. Are you sabotaging yourself and cheating yourself from acquiring your fitness goals? Are you giving your best? How is our attitude? So often when it comes to physical fitness we sabotage ourselves by only giving 70% - 80% effort. If you are a formal athlete you are likely thinking, “No! I give 100% every time I step into the gym! Shut your mouth!” My gentle rebuttal would be, “What are you eating on a consistent basis?” Chances are you need to shut your mouth, lol. I know this because it describes me…;-). In my experience, former athletes...

I Am Overcoming My Procrastination…I bought a Crossbow ;-)
Well, I followed my own advice… I thought about hunting and how much I used to enjoy it, plus Axel is talking about it all the time… So I counted 5-4-3-2-1 and….bought a crossbow and a hunting license lol. I took action even though my brain was telling me not to….”You don’t have the time. There is no where to go. Axel is just going to be noising.” As I counted down instead of dwelling on those issues I thought about how thrilled Axel is going to be even if we are just walking in the woods “hunting!” How about you? Are you...
