Ok,
So summer is here and you are wondering if you should pull out that bathing/swim suit from 1998. Well I suppose that you could but from what I read you have put on a few pounds and now it doesnt fit. So here are 3 things you must do before you try on those swim trunks or that string bikini.
1. Put the FORK down! (We eat to much)
2. Your drinkin a 6 pack thats why you dont have a 6 pack!
3. Elastic looks good on no-one!!!!!! Thats right elastic, no bathing suits with elastic.
These are the easy rules to follow weeks before you get to the beach or decide to walk down your neighborhood side walk. Put the fork down means eat till you feel full and stop over eating. Next, you want a 6 pack but you drink alcohol like your the official wine sample, so stop drinking so much...water helps. Last, those old bathing suits, swim trunks never look good. Wear something that actually looks good on your body. If you are a guy, NO swim trunks with elastic, loser board shorts make your waiste look smaller and if you are a sexy woman, then that strink bikini or 2 piece prabably didnt look good in the 90's so it prabalby doenst look good now.
Ok, good luck, see you on the beach.

The Concept of Hate
I have been working hard on the concept of self hate. I know this sounds strange but in the last year I discovered that I had lived a life of lots of self hate.
For me the words or actions of others have never bothered me as much as the things that I would do to myself. Primarily the decisions I would make that affected my life and never in a good way. I am just now understanding that the everyday life I was living was filled with a deep distrust and dislike of self. I know that many people will read this and react with a certain sarcasm but this blog is about me after all. LOL.
The reason why I write about this today is because we can always be better and do better, we can always work hard at being better than we are, kinder than we have been and more understanding. My life has always been filled with trying to give to others more than I would give to myself and I am just now realizing that I have to take care of myself first and like myself enough not to be so hard on myself. It begins with being honest with me and forgiving myeself. When someone says, "you have to forgive me", I say that to myself. I have to forgive me. For even with a career and life filled with what we deem as success, I am truly going to be more successful this next go around. You make ask how this affects my fitness, well its because I feel your fitnes success it tied to how you feel about yourself.
Look for my new website and blog next week. What am I greatful for? I am greatful for me today. What are you greatful for?

Its Official
Its official I am old! I was told that you could say you were 25 for like 8 to 10 years. Well while I am looking my worst these days, I have been running like a mad man on the streets of Tampa and guess what? I am slower than the old lady next to me walking her dog at the park today.
Yes, she was like 80 years young and she lapped me. She took me down and made fun of me and guess what? I smiled and kept going until I finally shook her off for good and told her that Ill see her tommorrow for a rematch. The point of this pointless story is the obvious one. Dont give up, dont give in, just get back on the horse and try again. No matter what people tell, like, "your best days have come and gone", it doesnt mean thats your reality. You just keep going and sooner or later you to will pass grandma and her dog.
Good Luck!

Calories is It!
No matter how much cardio you do, how much you workout, how much we lie to ourselves, we can not lose weight if we eat more than we burn.
That's right, can can not lose body fat, we can not lose unwanted pounds if the amount of calories we take in everyday are more than what we burn. It pretty simply to figure out if you are over eating, eating more than we burn. The scales dont lie. Even if you are lean and want to be leaner. The old saying is, getting in great shape is all about the food, not the working out. This does not mean stop working out and starve yourself.
Your body should be athletic, you should be heart healthy and you need to get your body weight in order to fight disease, especially heart disease. So, stop fooling yourself. If you want a SIX PACK OF ABS DONT DRINK A SIX PACK. (YES MUCH OF MY BLOG IS FILLED WITH HUNMOR AND intelligence.

Chocolate Craze
Ok has all this Candy on sale made you stop and buy some?
Well, go ahead. Isnt life about doing what you want in moderation.
I mean was it one piece of candy that made you gain 20lbs? No.
Was it one beer that made you eat bad at midnight? No.
So let get real. Have candy, drink a glass of wine, eat a french fry. Just stop doing all these things till you cant button your pants. Why is it we cant stop?
Well, I do not know, but I do know, one piece of candy didnt make us the overweight
nation we are. It was the excess. So, once again, put the fork down and stop stuffing your self!
Enjoy the things you want in small amounts. Love ya.
