I am not a writer, but writing gives me an outlet for the things that bother me -----Evidently i havent been bothered much in the last 3/4 of a month (yeah right)
The 'ol day job - My Rock of Gibraltor and the principal financing backer of FitClaimsPro.Com
has been busy with a lot of miles racked up
------------- Thats good ---- My prime objective originally was to lessen the effects of stressful day to day insurance work by applying some common sense nutrition principles
Along the way, i have discovered that my plight is one shared by many working people - long hours - lots of miles- jet lag - poor exercise facilities -------
---------
When blowhardy office types try to give motivational speeches for their slack jawed interns , they use phrases like "synergy" --- "We have a unique synergy !! "
Well , synergy oftentimes means the sharing of ideas --- not just to congratulate ourselves on how cool we are, but to compare, contrast, and share
My thoughts do not just rumble from my magnificent head, as if planted there by the Gods ---- my thoughts come from research and trial and error ---- Bill Starr is an important motivating figure for me -- lately, i really like the stance that Rippetoe (Mark Rippetoe , Starting Strength and the Aasgaard Company ) is taking with his training principles ---- and there is new blood(well, sorta new compared to Bill or Rip ) , like Jim Wendler - who give hope for future generations
Apart from my collected training volumes and teachings gleaned from years of training, i also draw from outside influences a good bit
We all do - there are very few original ideas -- but we can apply old ideas in original ways
---- That said, i am proud to say that in addition to the other sources i draw from , i will now be referencing Dave Draper a bit --- I also encourage my readers to drop by his website at Davedraper.com -- it is quite a bit more advanced than my own , and i encourage everybody to subscribe to his weekly IronOnline newsletter
Although i consider myself a hack, -- Dave can write! And furthermore, his words on finding motivation to hit the iron , despite your age, weight, or circumstance -- are powerful
______________________________________________________________________________
On a personal level, i almost envy people who things come easy to now at my age.
We have all heard the stories about people who just cut out their daily Snickers bar, or soda, -- and voila --- 30 excess pounds come off just like that
Yes Yes --- take the stairs instead of elevators, cut out soda ---- blah blah blah
These are low level changes that do work for some people
If you have been entrenched in bad habits for years ---- you may need to dig a little deeper though
My goal all along is to focus on whole body wellness, --- The outward presence does hinge on mental well being as well for some of us
Sure, there are people all around us who are built like NFL Wide receivers and exist on beer and chicken wings and they still can run circles around average 35-50 year olds, -----thats called genetics and something nobody can get away from
If your genetics are wonderful -- embrace life ! Rejoice and eat right
If they are not though ------- my advice is the same --- Embrace life! Rejoice and eat right ! --- but its going to take a little more work -- and in some cases a lot more work
If you have a stubborn situation - dont be afraid to make a drastic change or two to get you out of your comfort zone --- Force yourself to hit a treadmill for 20 minutes a day
--- get a mountain bike and use it for something more than a clothes rack
--- join a fitness or nutrition support group so you can bounce new ideas off each other
Your not alone --- enlist your family and friends to help
------ If they are not helping --- realize that not everybody shares your passion and intensity on personal betterment -- or maybe they just need to see results from you and me to get 'em on board, who knows
Its getting close close to holiday season, and for those of us who are "nutrition sensitive" , we have to stay en' garde , ---- but its do-able and i am hoping we can all have some fun in the upcoming 3 or 4 months !
thanks again for reading
Doug
