                    What diet is best for you? Judging the large range of dietary options available with conflicting philosophies to boot makes deciphering what seems right a difficult task. The key is in that exact above sentence. The reason we have so many options is quite simply for the fact that no one diet is right for everyone and the key is finding what’s right for you. We all juggle with different lifestyle factors;                        Body type: you may be tall and thin, another is short and stocky. Dietary preferences & exclusions:   you may enjoy eating lots of meat every day. Others may eat no meat at all. Budget: Some may have low budget and another has an unlimited budget. Organic / conventional: Some eat only boxed and packaged foods, while some eat only natural, organic, whole foods. Nutriti...

The Subtle difference between 'Find' and 'Earn'  When we want to 'find' our ________ (motivation, respect, money- you fill in the blank). We may be indicating that we have no idea where it is, it's lost, maybe it doesn't even exist! It tags desperation, depression, helplessness.😒 When we want to 'earn' our ________ ( fill in the blank with all the goodies 😇).  We're suggesting solutions and possibilities, that it does exist, we can get to it and it is ours. Try tweaking your words. Instead of saying, "I just need to find the  _______". Say, "And now I will earn my ________". See what difference that small self- talk does for you.

Remember that game where you put a card with one word on your forehead and you had to guess what it said? You got all kinds of pretty random results. Labeling yourself as just one word is like that too. Saying you're Loyal as a blanket across all areas of life can be a double- edged sword. We love loyalty, but just deciding you're a loyal person without deciding what you're Loyal to , is like having a forehead card that says, 'I'm going to run a marathon'. What marathon, where and when is it? You have to define it better or you're just going out for a run not knowing where it'll end up but hopefully somewhere good. When you blanket loyalty, you're loyal to your God, family, health, work, hobbies, all the good stuff but you're also loyal to mistakes. Is it okay to live under the umbrella of your mistakes for 20, 40, 70 years of your life because you're Loyal? What if you looked at your loyalty differently? What if you wore a card that said, ...

  What about exercise? There’s three kinds of people during ‘the season’. Those who don’t stop, those who do and those who never did. If you’re the kind that feels guilty about taking a break from your exercise routine here’s some facts for you to absorb. Benefits of taking a week or two off exercising (ideally every 8 – 12 weeks): Your training is just the stimulus, it’s in the resting periods you will experience biochemical, neural and hormonal changes that cement results from your efforts. Muscles, tendons and ligaments repair themselves, the glycogen energy stores in your muscles and liver are replenished and your testosterone levels recover. Research in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise proved that 14 days of rest causes little change in bench press or squat performance. You may already feel a bit burnt out from socializing, lowered concentration levels can be a serious precursor of injury. Take time out or be prepared to alter your routine, there’s no shame in ...

  Handy tips to overcome over- eating: Plan ahead When attending a gathering take a raw vege platter or salad with you and a healthy dip.  Serve from this platter before the pies and cakes. Drink lots of water Water is filling, drink a glass before you go to your gathering and once there have another before you eat. Watch your alcohol intake You’re not lightweight if you don’t keep up with everyone else, in fact as the saying goes, you’re legendary! It’s a smart move to drink some water between your alcoholic beverages, the longer your night lasts the more fun you’ll have. Your body uses booze to fuel your movements and stores the food you ate as fat.
