Reflecting On A Day
First I would like to start off by tell you about a great Affirmation Goal Setting Motivational Software - Affirmations Software - Sculptor3. - It works well on your computer to help set goals and really motivate a person to follow through and be successfull. Check it out.
Now I have beening trying something out myself recently. I have been writing my daily food on paper at the end of each day. What this has done for me is, it really shows me everything I ate. It sounds odd, but until I saw it on paper, I never was really bothered to worry about it. Seeing it now give me the chance to see and realize where I can change some things for the better. I also have kept them for refference for later on.
This is something that I am going to keep doing and I will even post one of my daily food intakes on the blog here soon. You all can see how I eat and maybe some things I should change.
Until next time my friends, take care!

Update on Dave and a Quick Recipe
So I am still trying to get Dave to give me a picture. I should have one within a day or two. He got a great general weight lifting program from Workout Pass. If your looking for a program of any sort they are the pros, they have over 100000 different programs.
Over the next few days, Dave is going to figure out and put on paper his routine. He is going to be doing some weight lifting, cardio fitness, sports fitness, and try eating healthy. I am hoping by this weekend I will be able to post more of what he plans to do and how much he plans to do.
Dave is going to try and base his routine on how much time the average person would spend. He is feeling pretty confident and positive about all of this. He is a little nervous that I will follow his progress on this blog, but at the same time I think it will push him more. If you are interested in getting a workout or fitness program of any sort be sure to check them out by clicking this link - Workout PASS, - you will be impressed!
Now for the recipe, I love Chili so I am gonna post a Quick Chili Recipe I use:
Easy Chili
1 cn Kidney beans
1/2 lb Hamburger
1 cn Tomato soup
1 tb Chili powder
1 sm Onion, chopped
Dump all into a pot. Bring to a boil. Turn down and simmer about 30 minutes.
Quick and Simple. Can't go wrong
Talk to ya again soon!

Lets Talk Mind Set
You have probably heard, in many areas of life, that writing things out will help you acheive them. I touched on it a little bit with my last post, so now I talk about it some more. It's a fact, when you write on paper what you want, you have a higher percent of success.
Many people don't know where to start. Well that should start to change after all of this. Start out by trying it with little things that have to do with health or fitness. Like I stated in my last post, I wrote out when I was going to workout in a week. Boy did that help me accomplish it. As you feel more comfortable with writing your goals out om paper, they will come more freely.
For those of you that are really finding this hard, there is some software that can really help you out. It's called Affirmations Software - Sculptor3. What is, is Affirmation Goal Setting Motivational Software, For Improved Mental/physical Health, Personal Growth. I can help any indivdual beginner or experienced for improving those skills.
I will get even more into the mental part of getting helathy in later posts, so for now that should get those pens writing. Have fun with it!

Motivation Can Be Tough
This will be a short but sweet post. Pretty much outlines my way of thinking.
I know for myself, it can be tough to follow through with things I have set up for myself. Lack of motivation is easily my biggest downfall when it comes to going to the gym and working out. When I get to the gym, it's great, it's getting there that is the tough part. What I have done to help my problem is write out my plans and times. If I want to go to the gym 3 times a week, I will write out on paper the 3 days I will go. The only way to make this work is, of course, to follow through with it 100% of the time. Stick to those plans no matter what you will eventually get better and better with it.
Over time, this has helped me be consistant with my gym time. Still, sometimes I feel it's a chore. Now though, the majority of the time I have the drive to go and get fit!!
Fill me in on things you all do to keep motivated, I would love to hear somemore awesome ideas! Talk to ya again soon.

A Little Follow Along
Recently a friend of mine, Dave, was told about a book called Burn the Fat, Feed the Muslce. He is 25 and is about 250 pounds. His goal is to be his highschool weight of about 210 lbs. What we are going to do is try and follow his progress. I am hoping he will let us use pictures and things.
Dave had heard from a number of different readers of Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, that it really helped and informed them of the many important things involved in being successful in achieving weight goals. He has wanted to lose the pounds for a couple years now, but has never put an honest effort forth to really give it a try.
If you want to see an overview of what comes with the book use this link here - Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle
So every so often I will be giving you a Dave Update. Goodluck Dave, show us all how it's done buddy!!

Some Healthy Alternatives
Howdy,
Today will be short but sweet! I am going to list a few healthy alternatives that I use for some junk foods that I use to eat. Please feel free comment on other alternatives that you have.
For bread, instead of using regular bread, I use the weight watchers whole wheat bread. It's whole wheat which is better then white of course and they come in thinner slices.
With snacks I use really anything healthy that I enjoy. Keep that unhealthy food out of the house. Fruits, vegetables, muffins, things like that.
Lettuce is good no matter what, but try and use the lettuce that is dark green. Romane Lettuce is the best to use, it give the body the most nutrients.
Those are just a few off the top of my head. I will keep trying to add to that list as we go along. There are many great books to help you in trying to find healthy foods and alternatives. Places also great programs and books to help you to easily figure out meal plans. A site that I have heard produce great results is Meal Plans 101. It really makes creating healthy meal plans easy.
Byebye for now

Something For Those Abs
Hey there, good to see you again.
One thing we all have in common is, we all want a flat stomach. If your male, you want a nice six pack. If your female, you want a tight, tonned, flat stomach. So today I am going to quickly talk about some things that can help you acheive that dream stomach. The one thing that people don't realize is that everyone has a nice tonned flat stomach, but the problem is the layer of fat over top of it. You need to cut down that layer in order to see the full effect of those abs. All the ab exercises in the world won't show nice abs unless you trim that stomach fat. Another thing that I have found is that you should do a variety of different exercises, don't just stick to the same ab workout everytime you work out. There should be different things within your workout to generate better ab success. Some cardio, abdomine, and core exercises are great all around things to do. Hope that information gives you an idea of what areas need to be worked on for ab perfection.
A great Ab book I recommend is The Truth About Six-Pack Abs, Abdominals, this book really goes into detail and diet on how to get the abs you desire. Click the link above to check it out.
Also if you are searching for a program for yourself there is a great place to go. This site has over 100000 different programs and can focus a program on whatever need you have. Weight Loss, Muscle Mass, Fitness, and many more. You can find them at Workout Pass
Later this week I will be going a bit more in depth about the areas I touched on today. If you have any ideas and comments, please feel free to email or post your comment.
Talk to you all later.

That Time of Year... Again!
Hey Everyone, it's getting to be that time of year again. The hot weather is coming and is about that time for millions of people to start there pre summer dieting. I'm sure everyone is guilty for doing this at some point or another in the life. What I have realized is that, yes you need a decent diet plan and fitness in order to see unreal results and yes you have to be committed, but some people are just looking to lose that extra little bit before bathing suit season. For this type of weight loss, it may be easier then you think. For alot of people it is just a matter of cutting out some of their daily rituals. If you are anything like myself, I enjoy soda, chips, fast food, and the many other weight killers. I'm not saying I eat each of these things everyday all day but I do endulge in these goodies from time to time. Cutting out these little habits can make a big difference when it comes to the bathroom scale. Getting rid of all of these instantly is tough but the one thing that really helped me was substituting. I would find out health alternitives for these items and indulge in to the healthy choice instead of the bad one. Really it comes down to breaking the little habits we have. Instead of throwing back that Mr. Big as a evening snack, I would have fruit of my choice. Before you know it you will automatically choose the better food and I'm sure you will like what you see on the scale as well. In the next few days I will list some the alternitives I have used over time for my healthier choices.

See ya again soon,
Brett
