What dreams and wishes do you have.
Wishes and dreams will stay just that, it is only through actions plans and timed goals that we are able to make dreams and wishes come true.
Regret of not starting?
Do you regret not starting something yesterday, last week or last year because you are’t “good enough” or “you could never do that”?
Many times and many people say that they are a failure in their heads, and so they never try. They quit before they start, saying I am not good enough or I could never do that.
Wayne Gretzky said “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
So don’t quit before you start, and when you do start don’t expect to be perfect, don’t even expect to be good, just expect to learn and build.

August Fit for the End of Summer
Summer is coming to an end and are you better off then when summer started? Will you be better off when fall is here?
This weekend my kids and I went on a hike. I had heard that it was a nice short hike, so we headed out without water and without any plans except to enjoy the sights.
So as we started hiking, we quickly came to a dry creek bed. It wasn’t pretty and the sun that w
as pounding on our heads had long baked the ground into a hard crust. The dust soon made us feel like we had made a mistake and had us thinking that this is not going to turn out to be a good hike. We kept pressing forward and we came across people that were walking down the trail, and you could tell where they were coming from was enjoyable and it was somewhere we wanted to be.
So we pressed forward and shortly came to where the creek emptied into a pipe and delivered it to the local water company to support the city that laid down below the valley that we were climbing. The fact that there was water, meant that the hike still had potential.
We shortly came across a box canyon, where from 60 feet
above us the water came cascading down. The strong blast of wind coming off of the crashing water was refreshing and made us glad that we pushed forward.
Now that we had made it to the waterfall, we had found the trail continued up over the waterfall and kept going. And I asked my kids “What do you think is beyond the waterfall? Should we find out?”. The kids weren’t real excited about continuing up the trail, I told them they could 
wait while I went a little further. They quickly agreed to come with. The path at times was hard, slick and rocky, not only that but as we climbed the mountain the sun continued to bare down on us. We thought maybe we should turn back. Yet, just when we felt that it was time to turn back, we came to a little covering next to the creek and we decided to take a better look as it looked like it could be amazing.
The little clearing was nice but it didn’t hit the amazing level that I was hoping for… that 
was until I started looking closer at what was there. Everything from a old spider web abandoned long ago , a flower whose purple seemed out of place, but my favorite surprise that mother nature 
gave me that day was the typically white bark of an aspen tree had been transformed under the babbling creek transforming it into a brilliant bronze color.
All of this beauty almost missed because when I first walked into the small clearing I thought, “this is not what I was expecting, this is not what I wanted”.
Many times as we start our fitness journey we think I want to lose X amount of lbs then we become so focused on that one goal that we don’t notice that we move better, aren’t getting sick as often, and that we are happier overall. So I don’t know what I was expecting to see when I first started the hike, but I know that if I was only focused on the negative things like the heat and dust, I would have missed my favorite part of the hike which is the time that I was able to spend with my kids.
What is your reason for your exercise journey?

Are You Sabotaging Your Weight Loss?
Are You Sabotaging Your Weight Loss?
By Jessica Girdwain
If you just started an exercise plan or are getting your butt in gear by working out more consistently, you may need to change how you fuel your body to get the most out of it. Common nutrition mistakes such as drinking your calories or eating too much postworkout may be the reason why you can’t lose weight (or inches) even though you’re giving it your all. Although getting fit isn’t just about the scale, it’s still an important factor, so we’ll break down 5 common problems—and how to fix them—to get you back on the path to results
Problem 1: You have no idea how many calories you’re really eating
It’s common to think more exercise = more calories. But if you’re trying to lose weight, you may be adding on as many calories as you’re burning—or more. “Think about the food that you’re eating to fuel your workouts and ask yourself how it fits into your total calorie allotment for the day,” advises Felicia Stoler, MS, RD, a nutritionist and exercise physiologist. Just because you hit the cardio hard today doesn’t automatically mean you can supersize dinner. “Most people have no idea how much they’re really eating.” To get honest with yourself about your calorie needs, write down everything you eat for a day (yes, even that handful of nuts you’re holding right now) or use a site like MyFitnessPal®. You’ll probably be surprised by your final number.
Problem 2: You’re hydrating with a sports drink
If you’re doing a hard, prolonged workout, then hydrating with a sports drink can be a good thing, but for your standard, at-home program, you’re usually better off with water. Sports drinks contain about 50 calories per 8 oz., and 14 grams of sugar (about 3.5 teaspoons). Your body will probably burn though that in an hour-long workout, but then you won’t be mobilizing fat stores as much. As for the electrolytes, yes, an hour-long program depletes them, but it’s nothing a good recovery drink can’t fix.
Problem 3: You’re addicted to that preworkout snack
As long as they’re getting enough balanced calories in their diet, the average person should have all the glycogen stores they need to get through an hour-long workout, even first thing in the morning. Eating something beforehand might give your performance a little boost, but if you skip it you’re better off—teaching your body how to mobilize fat stores for energy (just like in Problem 2). The exception to this is if you “bonk” or run out of glycogen and blood sugar partway through your workout. When this happens, you don’t just feel a little pooped; you feel as though you’ve just run into a brick wall. If this happens, 50–100 calories of simple carbs, 10 minutes before you start, should fix it. Half a banana would be ideal. If you’re looking for a boost with minimal calories, Beachbody’s E&E Energy and Endurance® Formula or a strong cup of coffee are two great ergogenic aids.
Problem 4: You’re eliminating all carbs
So many exercisers try to eliminate starchy carbs—including whole grains and starchy vegetables like potatoes and corn—when they’re trying to lose weight. But it’s water weight you’re losing, not fat. Not only that, the strategy can backfire. Depleting carbs from your diet means that you have to tap into your lean protein stores for energy, which ultimately can decrease your lean muscle mass. Muscle is critical for upping your metabolism—and burning more calories even while you sit around—so you may see your weight plateau. The lesson? Don’t be afraid to incorporate some whole grains and starchy veggies into your daily diet.
Problem 5: You’re not working out hard enough
If you notice you come home from a run only to find that you’re noticeably hungrier, consider upping the intensity of that run. A recent study in the International Journal of Obesity looked at sedentary, overweight men who either worked out at a moderate pace for 30 minutes or completed a high-intensity interval workout for the same amount of time.1 Those who did the intense interval exercise ate less at a subsequent meal, as well as the next day. Not every workout should be an intense interval session, but fitting in one or two a week can help turn the dial down on your appetite.

Are you the tortoise or the hare?
Do you feel like you are losing the fight? You have tried the quick fade diets and they get you some results but you always fall back to where you started? 
In the world that we live in today we are constantly bombarded with get rich quick schemes; get thin by just adding a sprinkle of this or eating a certain diet. All of these things are things that I would consider “Hare” products. Their advertising says that it is so simple that anyone can do it but just like the hare in the Aesop’s Fables the hare ran ahead of the tortoise and stopped to take a nap, the tortoise who did fall into the traps of having to go fast knew that slow and steady wins the race kept plugging along and did win the race! I won’t argue that some of these “Hare” products and programs have some results but as soon as you stop them we truly haven’t learned to change your life and as soon as you stop the results disappear and you are no further ahead than when you started.Modeling our lives in the way of the tortoise is where true results comes from. Through consistency we build habits that will change our lives and the lives of those around us. Don’t focus on the habits that you need to change focus on the habits that you are building.
