Mom's and Dad's looking for support

HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Workout...Check! 15 minutes of reading to work out my mind...Check! Now on to some breakfast and enhancing everyone else's lives

I heard something interesting in a podcast today. He talked about excuses and reasons. No matter what happens in our lives, the result is because of something we did or didn't do, and we can either take responsibility, or come up with an excuse. For example, your late to work and you tell your boss there was a traffic accident, and that is the reason while you were late. But was that a reason or an excuse? Could you have left for work a little earlier, taken a different route, check the traffic report, or any other option?

I know personally I am quick to come up with an excuse, and the more I think about that, the more I don't like that. I want to be responsible for all my actions. So, I have something new to work on. What about you?

22MHC - Resistance 1 Complete. Finally getting past all that soreness. I tried out the beachbody performance line recharge supplement last night, which is one you take right before bed to help your muscles recover better and reduce soreness and it worked very well. Had my pre-workout this morning to push me through the routine, and now having the recover. Today is going to be a great day.

Do you use workout supplements? I tell you what, I was never big into them. I always felt I could do just fine on my own. But after trying some, particularly the one I use now, I have found a whole new level. I am able to push harder, get more reps in, have longer endurance, and see and feel better results. Imagine if you could squeeze out just one more rep, or jog for 2 more minutes. Then, be able to provide your body with the right supplements to properly recover so you could do it again the next day, and push just a little bit harder. Think about it!

Happy Hump day everyone!

Happy Friday ya'll! I hopw you had a pleasant week and are ready for the weekend. I wanted to let you know that I am hosting a 3 day detox/refresh challenge June 1-3. This is a great way to push through a plateau, flush some of the junk out of your systems, give your nutrition a jump start, and shed a few pounds to get the momentum going for summer.

If you are interested, shoot me a message, and I can get you more details. I have done this a couple of times now and always feel great afterwards. Plus, this doesn't have some to the pains you can sometimes get with liquid fasting practices and you're still allowed to have actual food while you do it. Let me know. We have about 1.5 weeks before it starts.

Hell Week, Day 2 with 22 minute hard corp. Today's double was Resistance 1 & 2. I was coming up with every excuse not to do it today. I was sore, didn't sleep well last night, had to get up earlier today, etc. I sat around for a few hours trying to relax and rest, but then the guilt started to set in, so I got up, changed, and got to work. 44 minutes of intense resistance training. It's a whole new ball game when you only get 22 seconds in between each set. 3 sets of about 5-7 exercises a piece. The 2nd half wasn't pretty, but I got it done. Sometimes, you have to push yourself past that point, to see what you are made of. I have many people that look up to me for inspiration. So what example would I have been setting if I threw in the towel on day 2. I did feel better after I did it, but it was a big hurdle at first. I hope you challenge yourself the same way.

How was you weekend? Did you survive all the great food? I know I ate more than I should have. I'm really glad I am doing a detox nutrition plan starting tomorrow.

Hi great thread please feel free to add me. I'm from Kent, UK wanting to gain weight. I have a 9 month old daughter so it's tough getting the sleep I need, getting the meals I need and the exercise in but I'm going to do my best

Thank you. I remember the days of little sleep. I'm glad mine are all a little older now.

Yes, I love in Orlando

I love Florida. We vacationed there as a family about 6 years ago, and my wife and I had our honeymoon there, as well as the Bahamas

My kids did awesome today. My oldest ran great for the Fire Hydrant 5k. Unfortunately the course was pretty confusing, so she took a wrong turn somewhere and lost 1/2 a mile. Oh well, She still maintained her pace. My second daughter took 2nd place in the 100m and 400m with new PR's, and 4th in the 200m, and my son took 2nd in the long jump and 4th in the 800m. I am so proud of all my kids. All in all, it has been a great Saturday.

How was your Saturday?
