How it all began

I came across this picture today and it reminded me of how the whole plant base life style began for me. Like many of my cohorts at the gym my focus was on Protein. A typical day was 6 egg whites, soy cheese and spinach for breakfast, chicken and salad lunch. Turkey roll ups for snack, and more chicken or fish for dinner. One apple was my big time fruit. That seems like ages ago. Well in fact it was 2 years ago according to these pictures. I started with a Vinegar/Lemon water and Veggie/fruit juice fast. I was so excited and had an excellent coach at the time so it was pretty easy. It's funny what you can do when your motivated and determined.

Total change is possible, but it does take real effort, token change gets token rewards.

Be determine to make a big change today!!

Try Try Again

If at first you don't succeed try try again! Well who ever said that was brilliant. So I have tried many times to blog because I think it's a great way to keep your self on track and share what you learn with others.

So the point of this blog is to share with you my Nutrition and Fitness Coaching. I also would like to pay it forward when it comes to motivation I have received tons of support and motivation on my Journey to wellness so I hope I can do the same for someone else!!

I have been a Kettlebell instructor for over 4 years now and I must say that I truly love it. The Bell put me on the straight narrow when it comes to fitness so it is my consistent weapon of choice. I do however use several other tools, like barbells, balls, bands and TRX to name a few. It's important to mix it up and keep challenging yourself.

My Nutrition philosophy is primarily Plant based whole foods, I support people in whatever there goals are when it comes to food. If you like to eat lean meat and fish, I am knowledgeable on how to plan a nutritional eating plan which includes those foods as well. What I don't know I am honest about and I am happy to refer you to someone who might be helpful.

I encourage every one to measure what they want to be successful at, here's a few things I'm measuring at the moment:

Sleep 6.5 quality hours not bad at all for me - the goal is 7-8

Prayer/Meditation 20 minutes - the goal is 30 mins in the am but 20 is better than nothing

Exercise 35 minutes - good work out Back Squats, Rows and Ab work

Stress/attitude Good - those who mind didn't matter and those that matter didn't mind

Food Great the plan was for a light day after yesterday sweet indulgence!

Green vegetable juice, watermelon, big dinner salad, lentil&cabbage soup

Whew one blog done hopefully many more to come.
