Get it going!

Start up your workout

I don’t know about you, but I’m very goal oriented when it comes to fitness. If I know I have a race in 3 months my workouts are strategically planned to work towards that goal. In fact, a few years ago I gave myself 6 months to train for my first triathlon and it changed my life! Before that, I was a bartender living a late-night unhealthy lifestyle. And now, my life today could NOT be any more different! (Except I still make a mean Mojito! )

So, if you’d like to set a goal for a run, here’s an option for a beginner run in San Francisco called the Presidio 10 in San Francisco on April 18th. Participants can run either a 10K or 10 mile.  The course starts at Crissy Field and takes you across the Golden Gate bridge and back… should be beautiful!

Anyone know of any other races happening they recommend?

Nutrition Tip

Unfortunately, when it come to getting rid of few pounds exercise alone won’t do it. Here’s just a few tips on what to avoid or reduce in your diet:

1.   Most processed and packaged foods that have refined sugar and refined flour and even “processed whole wheat.”

• Breads, bagels, etc. (white AND wheat)
• cakes
• cookies
• donuts
• pasta (even whole wheat – it’s still refined flour)
• pastries
• pretzels
• most crackers
• quick oats or packaged oatmeal
• pies

2.   Foods high in sugar:

• BBQ Sauce
• Candy
• Cocktail Sauce
• Condiments
• Ice Cream
• Jams & Jellies
• Power bars and most energy bars

3.  Beverages high in sugar

• Colas & sodas
• Fruit juices
• Liqueurs
• Sports drinks like gatorade, vitamin water
• Overly sweetened coffee drinks – that means NO frappa-mocha-noncaf-halfcaf-accinos!

How I Did It

With some help and motivation seven days a week from some friends in college, I trained three hours a day for fourteen weeks and completely transformed my eating habits and training style. Since loosing the weight I have learned what true hardcore training takes.

Antioxidants are the new sexy!

Juz check out this bottle…it speaks for itself!

Deliciously Sexy Antioxidant Supplement

Noni popped up on the seen (at least that I know of) only a few years ago, and although healthy, its potent taste makes it a little hard to swallow! Yuck!

Ardyss has changed all that with its flagship nutrition pruduct, Le’Vive. Le’Vive is a deliciously sexy antioxidant supplement offered by Ardyss. It is great for my fitness buffs (or wanna-bes) and my people looking for a great weight-loss aid.

Le’vive has a yummy mix of 5 (YES 5!) super fruits: pomegranate, goji, acai berry, noni, and mangosteen.

Not only is it tasty, but it’s highly beneficial! Le’vive helps with weight loss, strengthening the immune system, increasing energy, and controling blood sugar levels…it’s also been known to increase libido (for my lovers out there!)

There are MANY other benefits… but I don’t wanna bore you, when you can just check it out for yourself!

Sprinting By The Charles

Folks, I am out of breath and my legs are sore. Today I decided to head down to the Charles River Esplanade and do some sprints on the grass alongside the river. I found a long straight area of grass that wasn’t too crowded and set up shop. I drew a line in the dirt for my starting point, and took off, since I was already warm from the light jog to the river. I sprinted at maximum effort until I simply couldn’t keep the speed up anymore, stopped, and drew a line in the dirt. That would be my distance for today. Sprint, catch your breath, sprint, catch your breath….ten sprints later I was ready to fall over! Half way through I wanted to stop, but I had made a deal with myself to do ten sprints, and so I completed all of them and I’m glad I did. Best part of all…it didn’t take very long! And the scenery wasn’t bad either:

This is the stretch of grass I used to run. Beautiful!

Day 55

Yay! I had a great practice today. My strategy to move to a new location halfway through worked well. When I was juggling over the bed, I simply could not get 9 throws. When I moved to the middle of the room with a wall as my backdrop, I was able to start getting 9 throws after only a few tries. So strange how that works; maybe a rut is tied to a location. I guess that makes sense, as a new perspective, whether physical or mental, seems to always promote growth, creativity and better understanding. While juggling over the bed helps with efficiency of practice, it probably creates some sort of mental crutch. But you’d also think I’d be more likely to ‘go for it’ and try to get 9 throws with the bed under me – crazy!

So next practice I will move locations again, maybe even more than twice per session. Looking forward to more progress in the coming week!
