Ok, todays blog entry is about the CARB MYTH.......
We have all heard that carbs are the enemy, we have heard that fat is the enemy, we have heard that alcohol, sugar and lots of other things are the enemy. And everything you have heard is a LIE!
Yes, a lie. Here is the real breakdown and how the body works. You have something called a metabolism and it opertates on calories. It doesnt matter what you eat as long as u burn more calories than you take in. You can not get bigger on eating breads, you get bigger on over doing it. It seems to be our way of life, we are over eaters, drinkers and consumers. So, moderation, moderation, moderation!
Yes, this was not a new idea but the truth, now can you eat less and do more excericise?

The Power of FITNESS
OK, I SAY IT AND ILL SAY IT AGIAN. Fitness can change your life.
It can simply give you the tools to stay positive and achieve goals.
I know that so many of us workout simply to look good, but it is so much more than that. About 10 years ago I trained a young lady was very over weight, she was at least 100 POUNDS OVER WEIGHT. After a year of working out and altering her life choices, she not only got her body back but she would always tell me she got her life back. The weight gain was such a huge symbol of how she was dealing with life.
After she decided she was gonna win, not just at losing weight, getting heart healthy but win mentally. She won by doing something positive everyday to change the quality of her life.
I will never forget Lisa, so as I worked out today I thought of her and I realized that I could do more and do better. If she could, so could I. If she could, so COULD YOU!
See you in the gym.

THE BEST FITNESS TIP EVER:
Here is it, are you ready? The greatest fitness tip ever.
Put the glass down!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, you heard it here first, well you heard it last week as well. What does put the glass down mean?
Well so many of you say that you cant lose the body fat or cant lose the weight.
But you say you have to have your 2 glasses or more of wine a night. Or every Fri and Sat nite you party like the rockstar you wish you were. Well, put the glass down!
Put the bottle down, dont hit up the IHOP at 3 am when youve closed down the bar or dont sit infront of the TV every nite with your bottle on wine in one hand and the remote in the other. You are fooling yourself.
Lets review. A glass of red wine sounds great, a bottle of light beer sounds ok. As long as you dont drive of course. So, modertaion. And if you cant do it, stop complaing.

Todays Inspiration
I was very inspired today by all the people in class who have to stuck to their resolutions. What I was most impressed with was that most of them made a simple resolution that they had total control over.
Most of the students/members goal was simply to keep coming on a consistent basis and not be side tracked. No one talked about a pounds lost goal or stop eating foods goal, instead stick with the workout and get heart healthy and the rest will come.
Thanks to everyone...I am blessed to know you.

PUT THE FORK DOWN
Ok people, it is time to PUT THE FORK DOWN!
Why is it that we eat so much? We always want more and we
refuse to share...LOL. As you review your new years revolutions,
remember that a great hurdle to reaching your goals, is your not so good
diet.
Now, you say Eric you are simplifying this problem but not every fitness issue needs 80 solutions. Sometimes, you just need to PUT THE FORK DOWN! Dont take it the wrong way, but if your goal is losing weight, today just take the bull by the horns and simnply, simply, simply eat right, I know you know what to do, so do it.

YOUR REINVENTION
Who is working on their New Years reinvention? I know I am.
From losing sight of my life last year to gaining over 40lbs over two years, I have allowed the stress and toughness of life to get the best of me, well...
I am renewing my efforts to not give up on my fitness and my body. Because as my body goes so goes my mind. I am going to get out of the box of depression and negative thinking and get back to the foundation of my life.
For over 12 years, I got up 6 days a week and went to the gym, tennis or spin and not only got in shape, but focused my mind everyday on the days job at hand. I have gotten so far from this foundation, that I am determined to get it back.
TODAY: DAY 1: I taught boot camp, worked out for an hour and feel like so far im on track. So, my hope for you is that you dont give up and understand, that as the body goes so goes your mind!

Why Thinking Thin is Vital!
Ok, cant lose weight, not hitting your fat loss goals? I dont care what your trainer, video, infomercial is telling you, you gotta think thin.
This means, you gotta fake it before you make it. You have to tell yourself that you are doing well, that will hit your goals and even if your not losing on the scale, tell yourself you are on top of it and will continue on your journey.
Dont give up, think thin, look in the mirror and say something positive and tommorrow morning, look in the mirror and say, DAMN I LOOK GOOD, it will amaze you what your new found attitude will inspire you to stay on track. LASLTY, thinking thin, is whatever it is to you, thin is all about a healthy perspective.
Dont forget, tan fat is better than white fat!
