Just Keep Going....

If you're new to the no sugar way of life, then you may be needing a little extra boost right now! Keep going - the worst part of ridding sugar from your diet is the withdrawal [yes, withdrawal] that your body goes through as you detoxify. Sugar is addictive, in all its forms. You will find a whole world of wonderful tastes open up to you as you indulge in fruits and vegetables, instead of something packaged as brightly as fruit yet packing the nutritional punch of a Slurpee.

JUST KEEP GOING! 

 

 

Strike Sugar September

My love of lifting weights, sweating it out on a long run, and preparing healthy clean foods was not something I was born with shocking I know. Every deadlift, hill sprint, and qunioa salad has been a step in a healthy direction, and a building block for a future of whole body/mind/spirit happiness. I have gathered information along the way from many experts, and many wannabe experts whose advice was later cast to the curb and one of my absolute favourites is Tosca Reno. Tosca is known most prominently for becoming a fitness model, author, and columnist after the age of 40. She turned her life around completely from being fat and frumpy to fit and fabulous - and owes it all to clean eating and a love of iron! Every month she and her teams at Oxygen Magazine and the Clean Eating Diet and hosting a challenge to reawaken health and vitality - and I thought I would pass on Septembers challenge! September is Strike Sugar month and I plan on hitting it hard! Read through Tosca's tips, and she'll continue to post more throughout the month!

Here's to health, happiness, and hitting the gym with purpose!

How bad do you want it?

Darius and I love to watch inspirational videos, especially when they incorporate sports in delivering the message of hope, inspiration, and determination. This video is a gem we found, love, and want to share. To discover your drive to succeed, read this quote, watch the video, then get to work!

"When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful"

Momentum

Do you feel it? The shifting of gears when something really big is coming your way? Man, I feel that way right now! I am surrounded by positive, successful people! I love to wake up in the morning, knowing that each day is full of possibilities, and the opportunity to create my dreams.

I just finished a business call with my team, and my favourite quote from tonight's motivation session is:

"ANYTHING is possible if your motivation is strong enough!"

This statement sums up how I feel. The world is my oyster - or barley pearl as some might say ha! - and I am achieving my goals, and dreams!

   The power of the mind is amazing! If you're in a downward spiral, look to someone or something that is going up, up, UP and decide that is the direction you are going from this moment on! Financial, health, whatever area in your life needs improvement, it is completely possible - all you have to do is decide to change, and do it!
