Scared?

Fear is a restrictive emotion. It can keep you safe yet it can hold you back from your goals. If you let fear lead your life you are certain to miss numerous opportunities.

Today, do something that scares you! Ask the girl in sales out for a coffee. Jump out of a plane (preferably with a parachute). Visit that martial art school you’ve been considering. Watch a romantic comedy (they sure scare the hell out of me).

Perhaps, you need a little more excitement in your life. Facing your fears will get your adrenaline flowing.

Is your trainer an idiot?

It’s quite possible that your trainer is an idiot if:

• you are told to not squat past a 90 degree knee angle
• you are watched on the treadmill/cross-trainer/recumbent bike for more than 3 minutes
• you are following a program that treats the human body as a bunch of separate parts not an integrated unit
• you never sweat during a training session
• your program look like it comes from a fitness magazine

It’s also quite possible that I am an idiot.

A breakfast idea (well two)

Try this:

  • 80g lean ham
  • 1 tomato
  • 4 mushrooms
• 1 cup blueberries

Or this:

• 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
• 1 cup diced pineapple
• 1/2 cup diced peaches
• 8 almonds

Yummy!
