Obesity Epidemic Way to go Mississippi! So much for the Lets go walking campaign. Why are we slaves to food? Can we not eat what is good for us, take care of our bodies and in turn bless our spirits! If you can't say no to what you put in your mouth, what else are you having trouble saying no to?
Can we please practice some self control? Say no to all the crap that is out there! Meat, veggies, nuts, seeds, some fruit, little starch and NO SUGAR. Try it for a month...
Don't be a slave to food! Gluttony is one of the 7 deadly sins!

Here is a video of one bad dude. This is James Fitzgerald, OPT, out of Canada. His background is in semi professional soccer i think, or some really high level of soccer. Dude is SIC FIT! Check out this performance and get inspired. Also, current CrossFit games champion and resident bad ass Miko Salo did Fat Helen (chest to bar pull ups, and 70lbs kbs) in 7:49... Gross.

Well... I got to thinking. There are many guys, hell, maybe even girls that would like to look like this dude. Well, minus the weird handcuffs and the bloody patch on his chest. What kind of work does it take to look like this? How much do genetics play a role in looking like this? "I mean its his job. He gets paid to look like this!" I hear ya. Believe me. To quote someone, not really sure who, "I mean I really wanna be all jacked and tan but dude, that shit is hard." It is hard. It takes around the clock attention. Attention to all the big things: rest, diet, workouts, motivation persistence.
I spoke to a client the other day about motivation, persistence and a few other topics a few days ago. He was ticked off that he let himself get sooo out of shape. However, he wants to change things. Dare to be great right. As we kept talking, he re-dropped a bomb on me, "You know man, all of this stuff-workouts- is just a freaking metaphor. If you don't push yourself in the gym, you can't really expect to push yourself outside the gym." Now there's a guy that gets it. Really, its just working out right? Not to me. Believe me, I'm not the only one that feels this way either. Working out is an outlet for some people, a sense of accomplishment for others, defeat for some, a mystery for many but for starters lets look at it as just a challenge. The "challenge" (metaphor success!) you partake in every day, prepares you for harder challenges that will cross your path every day. Mark Twight eloquently puts it like this, "Punish the body to perfect the soul." Work hard in the gym so life's challenges don't seem so hard? Yup, you bet'cha. More on this later...

A friend of mine and I were talking the last week about, "life". Everything from high school memories to our futures were discussed in between our dead lift reps. He brought up a concept during our conversation that never really crossed my mind. ..."I mean dude, you gotta view your life as a story. Every day you are writing a page of that story. Will it be interesting to read one day?"
-----
This conversation sent me for a loop, not at the time but days later. Really, it had never crossed my mind to view life in this way... The first feeling I had was FEAR. Was I writing a good story? Would it be on the New York Times best seller list, or would it never make it to the printing press? I was filled with doubt and doubt my friends is EVIL!
However, after thinking about it for a few days my perspective changed. What an AWESOME opportunity!! I mean seriously. You are in charge of writing your life story! Instead of being depressed and scared about my story, I was PUMPED! Here is a list of a few things I was excited about concerning this topic plus the bridge.
1. Challenge yourself. Who wants to live life always taking the easy way out? Not a great story
2. Try new things. Tough Mudder competition anyone? 5K? Triathlon? Ironman? Great read!
3. Be positive. Life is tough. We know this. Why not throw it a curve ball? Who wants to read about someone that always says, "I can't."
4. Conquer. Why choose to fail, when success is an option?
5. Dream BIG! Anything you set your mind to is obtainable. Remember, your past doesn't define you. The present does!
Now its time for the so much cheese you'll be mousified!
