Diet Coke Isnt The Problem!

How many times have you heard that your Diet Coke or your Iced Tea drinking is
just another problem or reason why you cant lose weight or meet your
weight loss goals.

Well im here to tell you a HUGE secret, your diet coke isnt the problem, it is the reason you got to this point or why you are have a weight issue. Or even the reason why your not fit. The only and real reason is because you eat to much!!!!!!!!!!!!

Diet coke didnt make you eat fast food, or late nite or 2 large pizzas. Diet Coke or anything like that isnt making you drink a bottle of wine with dinner at nite. That poor diet coke isnt stopping from going to the gym. Focus on the real larger problem. You eat to much and not enough excercise.

I am tired of ppl asking me about their nutrtion and what they should do, when by now we all know the basics. We all know what a protein is, a carbs and fat, and we certainly all know when we eat to much. So, you might say, Eric you dont sounds very helpful. Well, you are right. Eating small portions and excercising daily isnt rocket science. So, stop making excuses and hop to it. Get to it. Make it happen.
Stop wishing that there is a magic diet or answer, there isnt!

Ok, now that we have all cleared that up. I love you and hope to see you at the gym.

Fell Down Stairs

I fell down the stairs and missed my workout yesterday and I feel so guilty.
What do I do now???????????

Ok, so yesterday I decided I would give blood for the first time, I have always wanted to be helpful but never had the courage to give up the pint of precious gold or maybe I was just scared of needles. Anyways, I had the blood drawn and thought I could workout after, but became dizzy and basically I fell down the stairs and I had problems getting back up. I kept saying, someone please help the old lady oh I mean the old guy up, but no one came. Well thats a whole other story.

So eventually I crawled to the car and got somewhere to lay down. The point of this story is, why is that sometimes there is no one there to pick you up when you fall down the stairs? The answer is...............

Because besides my faith, I picked myself up. So pick yourself up and get to the gym or wherever you gotta go.

See you at the GYM!

Burger King came Thru!

Yes, in my continuing campaign to show myself and some of you, that you can eat healthy anywhere.

Recently I ate at the amazing place called Burger King. Why is it Burger King, because that damn Whopper is so good. Hold up, that is not what I ate. They have a cool little side salad there for only a dollar, yes a dollar and I order a Whopper JR. because that's what I really wanted and I took the Whopper off the bread, put in on my salad with tomatoes, onions and other stuff, dumped the bread and ate a salad
Whopper JR.

Yes, I have created something new and it was great. But the best part of all, I spent
less that $3bucks at the BK Lounge.

Top that kids!

Hydration Station

Sometimes even the strong need to hydrate.

Yesterday I went to north Tampa and visited with friends who have a new business called Hydration Station at Wiregrass Mall. This is a cool outside kiosks with slushies or what ever you wanna call them.

And they were very good. Now you ask, how does this affect my fitness. Well, it doesnt. All I am saying is that a family that works together, plays togethers, works out together, stays together. LOL.

Check out hydration station when you are up at Wiregrass Mall and if you dont want a delicious pina colada and strawberry slush, get yourself a cold water, cause you know that you must stay hydrated.

See you at the GYM!

Sunscreen!

Do you look like LEATHER?
have you ever met people that look older, look like leather or smell like
a coach bag...well that is because they havent gone to the Dollar store to
buy sunscreen.

If a guy is 30 and looks 40 or she is 25 and look 40, she has spent to much time in the sun or tanning bed. If you are tanning your face in a tanning bed, you are aging
yourself by 20 years.

So here is a fitness tip. Wear a hat, glasses and sunscreen and then you can look great at any age.

Cant Keep On Any Muscle

Ok here it is.
So many of you always ask me: Why cant I put on muscle more quickly or why am I having a hard time gaining the right amount of weight, especially since I have been working out hard?

Well, I have no clue as to why your body reacts the way it does, we are all very different. But here is are a couple of reasons why your not as lean or muscular as you want to be. You need more protein and you need them at the right times. Here are 2 basics tips you can follow today to get you on the right track.

1. Make sure you are eating protein within an hour after your workout. This will help with muscle recovery and help build new muscle, after your workout your muscles need protein and want it now.
2. Before you go to bed, make yourself a lean protein shake. Don't spend alot on powders but find an affordable one with a flavor you can live with and make it before bed, this will help in the critical sleep stage, when your body is doing all of its maintenance and craves protein. This will help put on lean muscle tissue.

Ok, there it is, simple and easy and not rocket science.

See you a the gym!
