What's Most Disgusting Thing on the Planet

I am going to both show and tell you exactly what it is; but first you are going to have to listen to a quick story.

As business owner, I spend an awful lot of time going to Staples to pick up printing or miscellaneous offices supplies.

In the same complex as the Staples that I frequently go to is a McDonalds and one day a week or so ago I was cruising into Staples at about 7:30 I had my path blocked by all the cars piled up in the McDonald's drive thru it was amazing and disgusting really.

So a few days later I am on my way to Staples again and the same exact thing happen.

So the crusade started to share this phenomena with you.

Maybe I am living in a 'healthy little glass bubble' but I was appalled by this type of activity; so much so that I started plotting to get one of these 'gut growing lines' on video for you to check out.

I had to be a little sneaky about it but it was worth it to be able to share this with you.




I only wish I could have figured out a way to get some of the people driving the cars on camera, as there would be no doubt they would be better served by some other sort of nutrition.

To one up that as I was about to start my filming there was nearly a crash in the parking lot because a couple cars were trying to make a move towards the front of the line.

Seriously

I know you are expecting me to say eat a healthy breakfast have a protein shake or something like that.

All of which is fine.

However, my recommendation is fry yourself a pound of bacon and eat, it will honestly be healthier and probably have less calories than some of that crap they are dishing up at McD's.

If that was too disgusting



or



too close to the target for any of you I am sorry; but I had to make a point.

America is growing fatter by the drive through and it has to STOP!

Enjoy!

You Don't Have to Earn Fitness Success the Hard Way

I seem to have to learn a lot of lessons the hard way.

Simple stuff like saying, "Yes Dear" to my wife when we are having an "adult discussion", I guess I just can't grasp those two simple little words.

Maybe you are like me

or

Maybe Not

Either way stick around for a little bit longer because I want to share a critical lesson with you that could make a difference in your fat loss and fitness program.

The lesson that I want to share is one that I learned AGAIN the other day.

This was an activity that I had experienced before more than handful of times in the past and evidently I needed to experience it one more time before it finally sunk in.

What is this lesson?

When you are pursuing serious fitness and fat loss results, it is a given that you will be consuming more than your fair share of protein shakes.

Normally I mix my shakes in 32 ounce Lexan Nalgene Bottle, with 3 scoops of protein, 2 tbsp flax meal, 1 scoop of greens powder, and about 24oz of water.

Works like a charm every time and it truly makes for a substantial shake that will give you top quality nutrients.

Well the other day all my nalgene bottles were dirty so I decide to make my shake in one the 'shaker cups' that you might find in nutritional stores.

Plane and simple, shaker cups SUX!

I ended up not being able to get enough water in the cup, which result in me having to consume a mud like substance that was partially mixed and partially dry powder, that all seemed to clogging up the top of my shaker cup.

Needless to say I was more than a little irritated; as soon as this happened to me I realize exactly why it was that I never use shaker cups.

Because they don't work.

So if you want a quick, easy, and clean way to consume your protein shakes.

Get yourself a couple of the lexan or poly-carbonate 32 oz bottles like the wide mouth nalgene bottles.

Trust me the simple investment will save you a lot time, frustration, and messes.

By the way if you want to really want make sure your protein shakes mix well, mix them with room temperature water.

It will virtually guarantee that the mix up perfectly every time.

Enjoy!

I Am Pissed Off

It's the Saturday afternoon before Easter and I am pissed off.

I should be happy but I am pissed off.

You see I have been dealing with a setback for 4 wks and if I were to give you an honest assessment it will probably take at least another 4 wks minimum, before I can completely rid myself of IT!

It all started 4 weeks ago when I took a thigh/knee to the side of the neck while playing Australian Rules Football(aka footy), this produced a massive 'stinger' for lay people that is a pinched nerve that runs from your spine clear down you arm.

Let me put it this way, it is NOT fun.

Especially since it was on the first play of the game; however I decided to keep playing.

Stupid and Foolhardy or NOT?

NOT, in my opinion.

Here's why:

1. There was a high probability that I wasn't going to make worse, very important.

2. I was already laying plans to when I was going to have a Chiropractic appointment Monday.

Why is this important because, I was ACTIVELY involved in taking action on the TREATMENT of my injury.

Here we sit 4 wks later and the injury was about 90% better.

That was until about 2 hours ago when I took another knee to the head, and re-injured the same pinched nerve.

Good news it not nearly as bad as the first one.

Bad news it just sucks to be injured, period.

I don't tell you this story have you feel sorry for me.

I am telling you it to illustrate the point that we all have setbacks; it's what we do when they happen this is important.

Here's my tally:

- 7 Chirpractic Appointments

- 3 Massages

Far a grand total of $400 out of pocket cash.

So far.

I am guessing by the time it is all said and done I will be on the hook for around $700.

Why?

I am sure that is the question, some of you are wondering.

Why wouldn't I just hang it up, or at least tone my level of played down after being injured for what looks to be 2 months and costing myself nearly a $1,000 in treatment.

Simple.

I love to play.

and

I have learned from it.

1. Learned how to do my kettlebell swing more efficiently, because the injury is giving me feedback when I am doing them wrong.

2. As I sit here typing this I have figured how I am going to change my style of play, and still maintain the competitive tone I love.

So as I sit here still slightly pissed off my question to you is:

What are you willing to do to overcome your setback.

- will you spend a 100, 200, 300 cash on your treatment

- will you make time in your schedule to get treatment

- will you eat healthfully to aid your recovery

- will you ice multiple times each day to help the healing process

- will you find new and different ways to exercise to continue making progress

- what are you willing to do

Because it is not if, it is when, you hit a setback.

Will you persevere and continue you forward with you pursuit of your goal.

or

Will you bail out and quit?

The choice is yours.
