3 Things I Stop Doing to Lose Weight



First thing we can do is acknowledge that our bodies are perfect just the way they are and the only thing that matters is that you are healthy, taking care of your body and exercising.  The physique is just a bonus.

Ok, enough with my TedTalks now let’s get into it.

I never really started seeing the progress and lapsing the extra fat until my Nutrition was fixed.  So that leads me to my first one.

  1. STOP LOWERING YOUR CALORIES!  Now I’m not gonna lie this did scare me at first.  I always thought the lower the calories the more you’ll lose weight.  Which isn’t necessarily true.  There are a lot more factors that go into it and one being metabolism.  My metabolism wasn’t right because I kept lowering my calories for so long that I had plateau’d and my metabolism adapted to this change and in return I was stuck.  Increasing my calories allowed me to fix my metabolism and therefore speed up the rate at which I burn calories at rest....
  2. I STARTED MEASURING MY BODY PARTS EVERY WEEK.  Instead of just weighing myself I needed a more realistic approach to gaining or losing size in specific areas and not just overall.   Taking progress photos, getting a dexascan for my fat % and muscle mass, these things helped me and made me want to throw my scale away which was hindering me.
  3. I STOPPED RESTRICTING MYSELF!  Restricting myself has harsher consequences in the long run.  The more you restrict yourself of eating the healthy and nutritious food you love it will only harbor inside of you and create a bitter and angry person that will rebel eventually.  Give yourself what you desire.  Weight loss is different for everyone and it takes time!  Don’t worry if your aren’t seeing results, be consistent and remember  your health is what matters.

The future belongs to those who believe in the magic of their dreams

My 2nd Day Of Social Media Detox

Image
I woke up 4am.  Was out the door at 8am and the bank and print business weren’t open till 9am.  So I went to the gas station to fill up and then went home and walked the dogs.  Boy, all the time I have. Today I printed my new business cards, picked up my latest edition of New Mind, New You Book, consigned some clothes at Buffalo Clothing Exchange, posted a few items for sale on Facebook Marketplace, blogged on my website, went grocery shopping at Wal-Mart, went to LVAC for calves, abs and cardio and even had enough time to was able to go home to Gene and go over our day and just hanging out for a bit before bedtime. I am in amazement over having almost no anxiety.  That’s a biggest part I see.  Also not wasting time scrolling, posting or writing content and really finishing my day doing serious constructive activities to make a living.  I'm also not needing to take pictures of everything I see or am doing thinking that it would make a good ...

What is Whey and Caesin Protein? Dairy protein supplements best selling 2 source of protein powders on the market. How do these powerhouses compare?  Both are complete proteins with amino acids and easily digested by 97% in the body.  Both are extremely popular but don’t share the same benefits. Whey-  their digestion faster rate to reach amino acids higher and reach blood faster Caesin-with a curdling effect is slower up to 8 hours in the body and slowly digested. Lucien is a amino binding syntheses and has more immediate to the body with whey and spikes blood sugars higher but Caesin carries more protein syntheses is also leaves the blood elevated up to 36 hours which releases less Lucien levels than whey. So which one is the best one to take? Caesin focused on protein breakdown with less luecin but whey has a faster generated effect to effect muscle gains in a quicker process.  So yes, whey is a short part more faster to recover but ...

What would your Mandala look like?    What colors and shapes would you choose?  How would it represent you? Color therapy is real. It’s defined as Chromotherapy. But let’s go into details about what a Mandala is and how it defines and represents you. A mandala is an integrated structure organized around a unified center.  From the classical Indian word “Sanskrit” And loosely translated to mean “Circle” but a mandala is far more than just a circle.  It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a organize structure to represent the meaning of life.  A mandala diagrams the infinite meaning into our soul and representatives a dream into our being both in this world and past that to what we cannot see.
