Pursuit of Happiness

Today's post is going to be slightly different from what you are used to hearing form me. Normally I talk about exercise and eating right and how not to swing a kettle bell. Today I want to talk about enjoying life. To start I want to ask you a question, If you had $100 million in your checking account what would you do all day? Would you get up early and go to a job you hate? Would you travel? Would you start a business? If money was of no concern and you could afford to do what ever you wanted to do what would it be? I'm not just talking about buying a Bugatti. Where would you drive it? Seriously? Its kind of a tough question to answer at first. It does make you sit down and think about what you are truly passionate about. It helps you find the one thing that you would do for the rest of your life and not get paid for it.
Me personally I would have a huge house with the ocean as my back yard, a Jaguar coupe, and lots of fancy gadgets. I would also continue to work with clients on a daily basis to help them change their lives. I know It may sound cliche but I really would get bored otherwise. Think about it.
The point here is this: If you can figure out what it is you would do if you didn't have to go to work and make money every day, and the find a way to do it while sustaining a livable income then you will be a happy person.

"Whats Money? A man is successful if he wakes up in the morning, goes to bed at night, and in between does what he wants." - Bob Dylan

14 Weight Loss tips

1.       Be serious about getting healthy. If you only half ass want to reach your goal then you might as well hit the back button and come back to this post later.

2.       Make 3 goals! A two week goal, a six week goal and a 6 month goal. (these shouldn’t all three be numbers on the scale)

3.       Look at what you are about to eat and ask yourself one question “Is this going to get me closer too, or further from the goals I set.” If the answer is “I DON’T CARE” see tip number 1.

4.       Recruit a Partner. Hold each other accountable to staying active.

5.       Don’t try and stick to some crazy ass no carb, workout 8 days a week routine. The good program you stick too is better than the perfect program you quit.

6.       Park further away from the store.

7.       Water is your friend; this is not up for discussion. Flavor it if you have to but saying “I don’t like water!” Is like saying “I don’t like air” You won’t last long without it.

8.       Have a big breakfast, or breakfast period. Your metabolism is like your car, you have to start it for it to work.

9.       Aim to eat a small meal every three hours. I know you have heard this before. So now just do it.

10.   Take the stairs. You will be amazed how fast it gets easier to go up and down stairs.

11.   Watch your portions, believe it or not you don’t HAVE to eat it all, save some for the next meal.

12.   Do 15 bodyweight squats whenever you use the restroom, start a trend.

13.   Don’t pay attention to the scale, If you weigh yourself everyday you are going to drive yourself crazy, the body is very complex so its weight can vary 3-5 pounds over the course of a day.

14.   The only way I can guarantee you won’t lose weight is if you QUIT. Keep at it and you will reach your goals. You may hit a wall or two on the way but never give up on what you want to do.”

This is a quick list of things you can start doing TODAY and get closer to where you want to be. Remember “For those who say it cant be done, don’t interrupt those who are doing it.”

Your Friend,
