So lets forget all about how I’ve been working out non stop 5 days a week for the last 17 months.  Lets put aside the feelings that I’ve been getting in my mind about how I can feel myself turning into an athlete.  Yes, lets just throw all of that shit out the window and start taking a Cardio Kickboxing class to shake up the routine, adding a little diversity to my workouts…. OH MY GOD!  People, perhaps if I were to...

Along the path which I am following hoping one day to arrive at a healthy lifestyle there are many times I simply do not want to get up, do not want to move, and certainly do not want to go to the gym.  Typically I have found in myself the discipline necessary to just get my lazy sack of bones up and get into the gym.  But there has been several times I talked myself into not going.  For this reason I have adopted a philosophy of...

Overcoming complacency can be truly daunting to accomplish.  I find when complacency finds its way into my life, it entwines itself to everything I am trying to accomplish.  At first I sought to label this as laziness, but truly the two are indeed separate beasts.  They both have some similarities, however, which may lead some very hard workers receive the unfair lazy tag.  So lets talk about how together we can overcome...

All right, so I am going to attempt to begin posting to the site with my phone.  Guess we shall see how it goes.Hah  whatever. So I’d like to take a moment and address something which I continue to struggle with and that is the weekends!  I don’t really know what it is but for some ungodly reason during the week when I am busting my ass in the gym 5 days a week I truly stick to a great well balanced diet.  Come the weekend...

Suprisingly enough I have embarked upon a quest to become a certified personal trainer through the American Council on Excercise.  I’ve gotten the training materials in the mail and have begun the learning process.  I must say that the material is very…  I dunno, deep, expansive, and um heavy.  LOL.
