I must admit, sometimes I get my ideas from places that you wouldn’t think possible.  If you read my posts often you know I draw parallels between things in life and fitness.  That’s because I believe fitness is a life thing – not a “I need to lose weight” thing.

Right now I’m reading a terrific book.  It’s called The Shack, by Wm. Paul Young.  Last night I was really taken by some of the lines I read:

“…I will take a verb over a noun anytime.”

Now I don’t want to give you the context of this as I don’t want to spoil the book – I want you to read it on you own!

But more importantly I wish to talk about that statement and how it relates to life and your fitness.

I’m feeling a bit under the weather today – head cold galore!  I have to expect it now that we are in the full swing of the school year and my kids are bringing home colds and most of my clients kids are sick now too.  With all that said, I try not to take any meds whether it be over the counter or prescription.

What does this have to do with you?

Most of the time the junk we put in our bodies is meant to treat the symptoms not take care of the cause.  As I think about this there are many things we do in our lives to treat the symptoms…but do we ever really try to fix the problem(s)?

Obesity is a symptom.

Don’t be fooled by advertising, claiming high in whole grains or FAT FREE. Get into a good habit of reading labels on the foods you are ready to buy. 

While they may have messages such as Low Fat or Reduced Calorie written all over them, when you read the ingredient statement and label more closely, you may be Un-pleasantly surprised. Look for hidden sugars, preservatives, and saturated “bad” fats.

I finally finished my report that outlines why your weight loss goals are making you fat.  In this free report you will learn exactly how to set yourself up for success.

Imagine never having to start a weight loss program ever again.

This report will reach far beyond you surface goals and get to the heart of the matter so I must warn you:  if you don’t really want to lose fat weight once and for all…then don’t read my report.

Here is a short video with me and two of my favorite people in the world, my two boys, talking about how you can access my free report.

I want to encourage you to not only read my report, but to share how everyone you know can also access it.

Read.  Share.  Win.

Do you think your health and fitness would be a whole lot better if you simply made better choices during the day?  We are all faced with decisions and some seem easy and some seem difficult. 

If you had tracks to run on – that is you had enough truthful information on how to make BETTER choices – You could make informed decisions that would add up to SUCCESS!  I bet you would see faster results.  You would see more fat loss in less time.

So what if you took just one day and made better choices?

• What if you ate breakfast instead skipping it?
• What if you ate protein, carbs and fat in every meal and snack?

Thanks to all of you for allowing me to “vent” my fustrations as I see more and more people set up for fat loss failure and or injury.  As a follow up to yesterday’s post, as promised, I am going to talk about what to do to combat over aggressive short term fat loss programs. 

In order to set yourself up for success you need to have a workout program that is designed to coincide with the long term strategy you are developing.  This will guarantee your fat loss will happen as quickly as possible – and stay off!

Make sure your workouts are F-R-E-E

The Biggest Loser and all the contests that have spawned off the popular “reality” show at your local gym have placed people who are desperate for fat loss in a very bad situation.  Fat Loss at all costs, training for symptoms and dieting/exercise extremism can cause injury while confusing people into believing that what they always hated about exercise still reigns true.

Long, boring and ineffective cardio.

Working to absolute exhaustion during every workout.

Fitness is all around us.  There are lessons everywhere we look – if we are looking.  How much exercise is right vs. too much, what are the best exercises for fat loss, etc.

Saturday morning I was snuggling on the couch with my boys, Trevor and Andrew, during their usual wake up ritual of cuddling and watching TV.  I was thinking about my next fit tip, or fitness blog entry and my plan for my womens bootcamp at 10am.

We stopped channel surfing when the popular Bob the Builder animated program flashed acrossed the screen. 

Bob the builder was constructing one of those exercise trails.  You know – you run or walk for a bit followed by an exercise like pull ups, push ups, stretching etc.  I started to pay attention.

If you are already consistently working out in an effort to lose fat weight than it’s time to turn up the heat – keeping your intensity high and eating well as we hit the holiday eating season.  If you are not – don’t wait another single second.  Don’t wait until your New Year’s Resolution to give you a reason to start.

Yes the holiday eating frenzy starts now – not at Thankgiving as most people believe.  In the U.S. we are all trying to find the best deals on Halloween candy.  Again, it all starts
