Day 2 and Go to food and exercise



Well I seem to have somewhat snapped and made this blog about me as much as you…maybe even more me. But today is day 2 of my 30 day fitness challenge and I want to keep you up to speed so that you can glean some of the things I am doing and hopefully they will help you too.

What did I do?

First of all yesterday I ate quite well except for an ice cream cone. Smoothy for breakfast, left over chicken and asparagus for lunch, and chicken and a veggie stir fry for dinner. And lots of fruit and water throughout the day.

And for exercise a long bike ride to just chill and get myself ready for the week this week.

Today I am back to Oatmeal for breakfast (steel cut oats just take too long) and I had some home made pizza for lunch before a killer chest, shoulders, triceps workout. I am feeling pretty good and am really tuned in to everything to make sure I don’t slip at all. I hope you didn’t notice but I never made any goals for these 30 days even though I will ramble on and on about how important they are. I think my motivation is really strong since a few thousand people arrive here at the blog every day to keep me in check.

Go to Foods and Exercise

One thing I was thinking about today was riding and oatmeal, and yogurt. I always have my go to foods of oatmeal, protein powder, and a fridge full of fruit so I never have an excuse not to eat well. I hate yogurt but most people really like it and it is a super easy and fast meal replacement if you add some fruit, try the Greek yogurt since it is higher protein and stay away from the yogurt high in sugar or high fructose corn syrup.

For exercise I always fall back on riding or weight lifting. I know there are a lot of types of exercise out there and some people may have another goto exercise like tennis or swimming but a couple is good enough.

I know that everyone runs into eating and exercise problems and when you get lazy or tired or just busy you don’t want to have to think about it you really just want to have go to foods and exercises that you can fall back on.

If I get stressed out I tell my bike I am going for a bike ride. If I am stressed out at work I go down to the gym and have a weight workout.

Same with food. There is no thinking in the morning for me, I don’t go to a coffee place so I know that it is Oatmeal and tea that I make and I do not get strayed off to bad eating decisions.

So try to think about these things. What can you rely on and what do you always have to fall back on?

Today Matters Most

Today Matters MostI wrote an email to the people that are signed up for my 10 days of fitness program last week talking about my struggles with getting things done this January.

What I wrote was that just like everyone else I was scrambling around trying to do everything and what I had to do instead, what we all have to do instead, is to FOCUS on just what matters.

So this last week has been better. I just thought I would write this followup to that saying that indeed when you get the focus, peel off those extraneous things, then you can know what you really want and what you have control over to succeed.

Have you done this yourself?

I had a little booklet that I was writing everything in that I needed to do and last week I was able to get that focus going but this week has been a lot better. I have just a few “have to do” things

  • Write articles – for this blog and others
  • Exercise and have a plan for that everyday
  • A plan for the evening
  • Updates on Facebook and Twitter for quick hits for fitness stuff

The biggest problem there is the businesses that seems to invade January. I have been busy during the day and I knwo that the kids will keep me busy in the evening so I have had to note that and try to just steal a bit of time in the evening to get done what I need.

Have you tried to structure your day?

The other big thing this week is that I have honed in my focus on things that I can actually do now. I can exercise now today but i can no gain 10 pounds of muscle or lose 10 pounds of fat today, those things come as a result of what I do today. Actually this very post I was thinking about today and this morning it will be posted and done with. One of my goals this next while is to write 100 articles in 100 days so I thought if I got a post in and up in the morning then I would have the rest of the day to get ideas or inspiration for more to write about to help YOU out.

I always feel like I am a work in progress but just getting these ideas out and refining my own crazy thinking process always helps me to get more done that I know has to get done.

How about you?
