So, you want to know what I ate today?

There are no secrets, tricks or pills, just clean eating. I am 8 weeks out from my first show of the year. I went really low on my carbs today because I ate a few oreos yesterday….a few too many!

8am

6 egg whites wi/ spinach 1 slice ezekiel toast w/ spray butter substitute and way too much coffee

11am

2 scoops BSN Syntha-6 chocoalte milkshake. I look forward to this shake, it mixes well and taste GREAT!

200pm

5oz boneless/skinless seasoned chiicken breast 1 med plain sweet potato, including the skin.

6pm

same as 200pm meal

planning on a 2 scoop shake again around 9pm

…….and no oreos!

Now thats what I call "clean eating" 8 more weeks to go!

So now you know, I love to write. I  do a monthly newsletter for the members of my fitness studio. Each time  I include an innspiratial Vitamin G column.

I love to turn a negative into a positive and live everyday trying to do so! I hope this will make many of you sit back and take in the BIG picture in a new way:) A positive INSPIRING attitude is the key to your success in EVERYTHING you choose in life. Enjoy and get INSPIRED!

A Little Vitamin G

My days often start, very early in the morning, with quiet reading. I always seem to read something that helps me make sense out of life or gives me a new way to look at it. I think what I recently read may be helpful to my fitness family as well.

Life is full of unexpected bumps and bruises.. twists and turns… happiness and heartaches. So it goes with a fitness plan. Some days we do great, other days we "fall off the wagon."

The only way to be successful, in the long run, is to just take one day at a time. It always seems to be okay. I know that we are all learning as we go along. Each episode is a shaping factor of not only our lives, but also, many others. Great lessons start with what happens in our life, and then, how we react.

Each small moment in our lives, is needed to shape the rest to come. The doughnut you ate last week, and the sit-ups you did the day before, both impact where you stand today.

So, even on the rough days, try to find the positive. Years from now, it will all be in retrospect. “If that had not happened……then we would not be where we are today.”

Nobody likes the fact  that it takes 30 seconds to put on 200 calories, and then, 30 minutes to burn them off ! So, sometimes when things don’t seem fair, choose to look at a bigger picture.

I do.

I love to take runs on the beach or dig in my garden. Being outside puts things into perspective. Next time you’re on a jog or walk, take a moment to look up at that very big sky. Let it be a reminder that we are just a very small part of the BIG picture.

The smaller things in life can be so exhilarating! The funny thing is, these things are always there for everyone. Some people just walk around with their eyes closed. You deserve better.. and you can have better. We at Go Fitness thank you for letting us help you on the journey!
