My Whole 30 Adventure Begins

Okay, I admit I am not good at posting. I have so many social media sites that I try to keep up with some just fall to the backside of my brain. Like Blogging and Instagram and Twitter lol, I am a Facebook Junkie.
  I do want to try my hardest to keep you up to date on my newest adventure and how it is going to far. 4 days ago I started the Whole 30 diet to set myself up for a Paleo lifestyle. I want to be leaner, meaner, get my body fat % lower and build muscle and get rid of this excess fat that no matter how hard I try wont go anywhere, I thought I was destined to have it because I have been working out strong for 3 years and eating fairly healthy. I had no idea things could change so drastically in just 4 short days.
    Whole 30 is a no grains, no sugar diet. I say diet lightly though because it is a lifestyle change. Not just something you do just to drop some weight it is for overall health and good wealth. It isnt expensive like some of these other programs out there, where you have to pay a fortune for the program and supplements (no supplements by the way) and then buy the food. The book that explains everything is on amazon kindle for 9.99.
In 4 short days I feel like my life has already changed. I feel leaner, I havent got on a scale and I wont until day 30 but I am going to track everything down to my measurements and body fat % from day one to day 30 along with progress pics so you can see my before and afters and no this is no gimick or joke it works. I mean I am believer and I am not even halfway through.
  So far mt stomach is flatter, I do not have stomach pains( I suffer from IBS and colon tursion from severe constipation from almost 2 years of battling laxative and enema induced Bulimia purging. I don't think I have ever told anyone that) Everything i eat made me bloated and caused my right leg and hip to swell and caused severe pain. That is all gone. I know it is from diet because I slipped and had some Organic (yes, organic) dark chocolate semi sweet covered raisins and it wasnt 30 minutes after ingesting this processed sweet that I was doubled over in pain wishing I had a pain pill of some sort. I am going to the bathroom regularly every morning and I feel fantastic. Yes I have had a lil tiredness the first 3 days from lack of the extra sugar from the bread and all the other sugar I use to eat to \help push me through the day but that is slowly going away.
   As a Fitness Professional I do pride myself in making healthy choices and living life to my healthiest potentional. I want to be there for son for a very long time and even though fitness is my LIFE, we all have struggles and bad habits we need to throw away because they benefit us none.
   I have been to the dr spent lots of money and never got anything fixed. I am here to tell you diet is the key.

It is just too expensive!

I hear this alot. I know the economy is down. It takes 2 people working in a household to make enough money to support your family. I know it seems like a lot to spend for Shakeology 1`19 plus tax or a program 119 plus tax (for the higher end ones). But lets break this down.

Do you eat out everyday when you are at work?
Do you get a coffee every morning?
Do you smoke?

These are just a few things to take in to consideration when it comes to spending money.

Lets say you eat out everyday and you eat Subway. That is a 6 dollar meal. (Thats only if you get the sandwich right?) Ok so thats 6 dollars a day times 5 days a week. that 30 dollars a week now thats do that by the month. lets say you only eat out on the days you work
thats 20 days a month. Thats 120 dollars a month.

Shakeology is 120 dollars for a month supply. Do the math.

Lets get real with ourselves. I dont have the money, I dont have the time. These are just grown up excuses for the dog ate my homework. If it is important to you. As your health should be then you will make it work. Its not about the money. Its about the committment. Most of us dont want to make it because we are not ready to commit. It is a hard truth. Sometimes the truth hurts. So lets just admit we arent ready.

Its anot about just Beachbody either there are so many way to get healthy and in shape that doesnt cost money. Beacchbody is just proven to work, its risk free everything has a 30 day no questions asked money back guarantee. What do you have to loose? Besides weight.

So I am starting an Insanity Challenge oct 15th. If you have the program its free! Burned or not. I dont care. I want you in on this group because it works!

So lets stop making excuses and kidding ourselves and lying to ourselves. And lets so this!!

Are You wasting your time?

Ok heres a question for the day. Do you go to the gym? How Long have you been going? Do you go once, twice 6 days a week etc?  Do you go on your own and make your own routine or do you have a trainer?

Ok now that you have answered that question. What have your results been like? Do you see major progress or do you feel like your not getting anywhere you are just staying the same?

I know several people who go to the gym on a regular basis and they havent seen any results. They stay the same. They dont gain weight but they dont gain muscle or loose weight either. Alot of the reasons behind this is because most people don't know what they are doing. I have been training for over 2 years now and I have never stepped foot in a gym and when I do unless I have a step by step guide telling me what to do I get lost. I have to be guided. That is why a trainer is so important. Especially if you want to see results.

I know some people say that they cant do at home fitness because they need someone to motivate them. But here is a thought. If you are going to the gym and you dont have a trainer, who is there motivating you? Did you know that having a fitness program at home is the same as having a trainer? Really? Well yes! Just because that trainer isn't physically in your house they are still training you. They take you step by step through each rep, through each move and tell you what to do. Even if you go to the gym you are not going to have atrainer there every day you go 6 days a week to stand over you and tell you to do it. But you will with a home fitness program and a coach. You have us 6 days a week or 7 days a week. Telling you what to do telling you you can do it. For half the price that you would pay a trainer. And still ultimately the results and the work are up to you. So saying that you arent motivated enough to do the work at home is an excuse. To have progress excuses are not allowed.

I challenge you to try a challenge group with me, as your personal coach , with a Beachbody Fitness program and Shakeology for 30 days. If you dont see any results and Beachbody doesnt give you a refund. Then I will personally Refund your money to you!!! I challenge you to 30 days! Now the question is are you dedicated enough to commit??

Don'T Fall into the Trap. We are in control!

As I was sitting on my floor painting my cabinets my mind began to wonder. Yes I know scary thought. lol
But I started to think about how the food industry and government manipulates us. How they continue to give us food that is full of preservatives, and gentically enhanced and pumped full of hormones.Those foods are so cheap and easily accessible. So of course in our busy lives of working and school work and etc, we will always go for the cheaper easier things to do. Anything to make life easier and to save us money. Then I started to think what good is that money to us if were dead?

Some facts for you from NativeRemedies.com

The epidemic proportions that obesity has reached can be gauged by the fact that 23% of Americans are obese and 36% are overweight. This means that an alarming percentage of 59% of the population is in dire need of weight loss solutions. The prevalence of heavy drinkers, smokers and those living in poverty are only 6%, 19% and 14%.

Obesity is now being perceived as a bigger threat to health than smoking, drinking and poverty. It has reached alarming proportions in United States with a sharp increase in the number of obese people.

The number of obese people have increased by 60% in the last two decades.

Ok so I am sure you are  thinking but I am not obese. But obesity is measured in BMI (Body Mass Index)

Mild Obesity - BMI of 30+

Morbid Obesity - a BMI of 40+

Malignant Obesity - a BMI of 50+

Per the research, "obese people suffer from an increase in chronic conditions by approximately 67 percent." The corresponding figures for "normal-weight daily smokers is only 25 percent; and for normal-weight heavy drinkers, only 12 percent." The research equates obesity with the normal aging process. This indirectly means that obese people age before their time. The only segment that compares with obesity is poverty and has a 58% increase in chronic diseases.

Obesity is also a heavy burden on personal budgets. An obese individual spends 36% more on health services as compared to people of average weight. Daily smokers and heavy drinkers spend an excess of 21% and 14% respectively. The extra cost that is spent on medication is even more alarming. Obese individuals spend 77% more on medications than non-obese people.

        People struggling with Obesity are more at risk for many kinds of diseases and health problems like:

• Cancer
• Heart Disease
• Diabetes 
• Joint Problems like osteoporosis , bone degeneration
• Gallbladder disease, gallstones, GERD
• Mental Ilness

   This is just to name a few of the many health problems associated with obesity.

I know money is tight and it is hard to pay for healthy food. But like I mentioned above. If you are sick because you havent taken care of yourself, how will you work? How will you take care of your children? Think about the money you would save on medications. Pharmacy companies do not want us to know that health and wellness can be found in the foods that grow naturally in the earth and not in a pill. Clean and healthy eating is medicine for the body. This is a scientific proven fact. But we as Americans in the hustle and bustle of everyday life only want to do what is easy and convenient. But we have to think long term here.  

    Just recently I lost my cousin, he was in his early 40's. He had a massive heart attack. He has a 90% blockage in his heart. He had a wife, and two young children. This is prime example of taking care of yourself. It isnt about what you look like or fitting into societies mold of what is fit. It is about being healthy externally and internally. We aren't just hurting ourselves we are hurting those around us. We hurt out family when we get sick or pass because we were unhealthy and didnt take the time to take care of ourselves. We hurt our children when we pass along the generational curse of Obesity and unhealthy eating habits. They in turn pass this to their children and its a never ending cycle.

         So I am sure you are thinking. Well the industry put the foods out there and is accessible. What can we do? Easy! If we stop buying the unhealthy product and always go for the healthy the demand for foods full of chemicals, hormones, preservatives will disappear. There will be no supply. When companies see that we wont buy them then they wont supply them. In turn this will make healthy foods more easily accessible and more affordable. We wont be paying into the system not just with our food choices but our health services as well. There will be less need for medications and doctors. Which in turn will save you money. 

We the consumers are in control. We make the decisions. We demand the product. So think about it. What will save you more money in the long run, Give you more time, give you more energy? You know the answer. Now we just have to act on it.

No excuses. Be the change you want to see in the world. Take that first step. Be Healthy.
