A Re-Post

I know I have posted this before, but I think it's great info. Micheal Gregory posted another great video about eating paleo.

Do you think it's worth the sacrifice...eating meat and vegetables for the rest of your life, or eating whatever you want? What's the trade off, one significantly increases your chances for healthy life, however old that ends up being. You are able to take care of yourself, don't need to be cared for, won't have to go the get refills are the pharmacy, you can be as active as you want to be til your last days. The other has possibilities of any CHD(coronary heart diseases), arthritis, hyperinsulinemeia(how close are you to becoming a diabetic), type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's(or type 3 diabetes), myocardial infarct(heart attack) pain, misery, and death....

It's your world. Let me know what you think?

The Real You???

Ever wonder why you can meet a total stranger, and give them information about yourself that your own family or closest friends don't even know about you? Why is that? Why are we afraid and hindered by other people's opinion?
So I was doing the .com workout(5k run) yesterday and was questioning this very thing. Then I thought about my last post, and how so many people thought Muhammad Ali was arrogant and cocky. Steve Prefontaine(Pre), Micheal Johnson(Olympic sprinter) Kanye West, Jay-Z, Lebron James....the list goes on and on. All of them screaming aloud letting the whole world know "I AM THE GREATEST, BEST THAT EVER WAS, AND EVER WILL BE." Anything wrong with that.
I've come a long way to understanding how people are, and why they do and act the way they do. I used to be the one to say Kanye West was a cocky s.o.b, but now my hats off to him. My hats off to anyone that can express themselves the way that suits them, not worrying about what anyone else would ever say about them. It might not be socially excepted, but who the hell gives a s*%t! Right?

So, going back to where I started, meeting a complete stranger that has no preconceived judgement about you, you can literally set the stage for the way you truly want others to perceive you as. Is this a lie, or a voice deep down inside too afraid to come out and be "THE REAL YOU." But, because of judgement and what people might say, we say and do what's accepted.....so much easier that way, right?

I believe we create our own reality, and everything that is-was. Everything that will be, is. It's only after we drop all of these preconceived notions about how our life should be, can we get down to being REAL, and start actually living. The potential there is limitless!

Are you living your life? Let me know what you think.

MY AFFIRMATMIONS

"Right here and right now, I call forth and activate the evolutionary impulse of my inner being. With absolute trust, I surrender to where the Spirit leads me and experience the peace that surpasseth all understanding."
"Right here and right now, I acknowledge myself as an ever-evolving being and surrender to the transforming touch of the Spirit. Throughout this day, I have dominion over my consciousness and happiness. Patience, forgiveness, and lovingkindness are the order of my day."
(Micheal Beckwith, "Spiritual Liberation")

So today was a phenomenal day for me. I got the chance to do what I love to do. Hang out with people that I love, and compete what I love doing. Crossfit Central coaches got together to do 3 workouts, with a short break to rest. Competition....more important the decision to be apart of something greater than yourself. That's what I have found here at Crossfit Central, here with these people I have come to call my family.

This video is of a man I don't even know.... I have just seen the way he works out, expresses himself, and finds himself in his music. I love it, admire it, and I think it sums up how I feel!

I AM THANKKFUL....

Current book I am reading at the moment, by Micheal Beckwith called "Spiritual Liberation." I can't put it down. I truly am blessed for all that I have, and want to show my appreciation to everyone I am able to be around.
I was able to attend Robb Wolf's 'Nutrition Cert' this past weekend, the man is a genius flat out. Thanks Robb for coming out to Austin to put on a great cert. Thanks to everyone who came. More and more the word is spreading that living a healthy "fit" life is not at all that complicated. I have talked with people about so many diets they have heard of that it's ridiculous. Robb said it best when talked about the genius of Coach Glassman of how he can take something so complicated and simplify the hell out of it so that we all can understand it. thanks coach.
Bottom Line: Coach had it right in 100 words.....
" Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and NO sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics:pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstands, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.
Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. ROUTINE IS THE ENEMY. Keep workouts short and intense.
Regularly learn and play new sports"
