A letter to Alice

Ok, so Alice is not the real name. This ‘Alice’ I am writing to is actually a real person but I think more people than her need to hear this message. I actually got out of bed to write this because I was so stirred.

Alice,

I see you are frustrated. The scale has been stuck for a bit maybe even up a little. You often do amazing work in nutrition and exercise but you seem to be stumbling enough to keep yourself stuck. I hear you speak of yourself like you are “weak”. Like you “can’t control yourself.” That you somehow are “not strong enough.”

I call BullSh#t...

I think your biggest problem isn’t that you are weak. I think your biggest problem is you think you are weak. This being weak baloney is not truth!

You are one of the strongest people I know! Sure other people might lift more or move faster that’s not the kind of strength I’m talking about. The strength I’m talking about is the kind that has spent the last 20+ years carrying your family on your back. ...

Detox is quite the buzz word and it gets people thinking “crap I’ve never detoxed!”  As if detoxing is something you do when you drink only juice or go on an extreme diet.  God made our bodies to detox constantly.  We pick up so many toxins that we can’t wait to detox it needs to happen all the time.  Sometimes there are some things that can slow down the system that is always running.  So, I decided to write you up a 4-step detox plan:

• Drink Water
• Sweat Daily
• Eat tons of veggies
• Don’t Re-tox so fast

That’s it!  These things have incredible ability to rid your body of toxins very fast!  How are you doing on these 4 things? 

• ½ your body weight in OZ of water
• Exercise and Sweat (yeah, that’s why sweat smells sometimes!)
• 1 pound of raw 1 pound of cooked (or at least be working your way there)
• Slow down on alcohol, caffeine, and processed foods. (I didn’t say stop just slow down!)

Next time you see a fancy DETOX program I hope you’ll remember these 4 points fi...

I got another chance to go on the news and share something helpful.  I decided to share these 5 things because I see a lot of people get crushed when they miss these truisms.  

1.) Normal food can be slowly poisoning you

2.) Most vegetarians don't even eat enough vegetables

3.) Better posture decreases pain and sucks in your gut 

4.) The Argument is not between strength training and cardio

5.) Eating healthy is WAY cheaper

Watch the segment for details.

Not as advertised?

Here’s a question for you do ponder…are you “as advertised”?

Here’s what I mean by this…

It’s been 10 years since I asked Sarah to marry me.  My goal is to be “as advertised” or better.  Maybe with a little wear and tear.  But, I’m shooting for minimal.  My wife is awesome and I feel dang lucky to have captured her attention and her life long commitment.  I’m no pie in the sky dreamer though.  I know full well that 50% of marriages end in divorce and not one person planned on that divorce on the wedding day (or during the proposal).  We’ll perhaps there was a few crazy scenarios out there but you know where I’m going. 

I wrote a blog post about package labels being the online dating profile of your food.  How was I advertised?  She certainly got more than she bargained for.  Not all in a good way.  I had a few more rough edges and longer sideburns.  We’ve had arguments and I have purposefully said hurtful things because I was hurt.  Like all marriages...
