No Burgers, No Beer for 30 Days, But Red Wine is Fine

I have noticed my body has been changing in certain aspects and I think it’s the food I have been eating.  I usually have a reward system in place each year in which I move to different food groups that are just tasty to me.  Though I try to stick to a certain diet, at the end of the week of a hard-working week, via I work very hard, I would reward myself with a treat.

Previous years it was a 6 pack of mojitos, jerk chicken, a golden crust chicken patty, cake, ice cream, a bottle of Barefoot Riesling wine (in which I still drink now and then) and couple other items.  This year or well over the last couple months, it was pizza, random burgers and a can of Coors beer.  All of those delicious, but not too healthy in the ways I want to transform my body.

I don’t normally consume a lot of each item, but it’s usually once a week say Saturday or Sunday, my chilled days I would go an enjoy those while kicking back watching netflix, dvds, HBO on demand, playing some video games.  So like every year I try to challenge myself against things I like to see if I can do without them and exclude them from my normal routine.

So I really want a lean, mean body this year like I had couple years ago, and my eating habits have been hindering those advancements, for I go to the gym and do solid workouts 5 days a week (i will show you videos and photos soon enough of my work outs to see my variations).  So I really want to kick some unhealthy calorie butt this month and other months to come, so bye-bye burgers and beer, I might revisit you guys later, but for now, let’s see if you guys are stopping my weight loss and nice 6 pack abs I been working on.

Have you ever tried a 30 day challenge?  Did you know it takes about 30 days to create or break a habit?  You should try it today, and challenge yourself to a better lifestyle or towards a goal.

New FALL Workout Plan, For The Lazy People [#Fitness #Health]

It’s the fall season and motivation to hit the gym is tough to come by. For all you lazy people (including myself, well only when I am sick, and yes I try to workout even when I am sick, yum I know it’s not smart, I guess you know now that I am not smart..SMH)

Anyways I have just settled into a routine this past Monday, October 10, 2011 to get fit and reach the 175lb-180lb weight goal I always wanted. I mean I am not what you call fat and I do have a ton of muscles here and there, but I need to be lean and slender, I am an athletic person after all, so I really have to force these routines in and get a feeling for a steady schedule of tips.

Here are a few quick tips though simple enough, they work wonders if you actually play by the rules and use them daily and effectively…
So here are the Fall 2011 Workout Tips and Tricks for Lazy People to Better Health and Fitness

1. Replace 95% of juice, soda, beer, liquor with WATER…really important step one.
– go buy a jug or big ass bottle and fill it of water and put it in the fridge, when you thirsty, drain that sucker down, and feel better and more cleanse.

2. Use the Darn STEPS…I know we all love the elevator and the random awkward people and smell in it. But everyday you are going in or going out, use the steps. I know some people leave on high floors and got kids and stuff, well at least go half way stairs or go more downstairs than up…consider it an extra workout each day,

3. Spend 10-20 minutes each day BREATHING…I know I know, its sounds like a lot, but trust me it is effective. At least aim for 5 minutes a day. It’s will ease stress, help your lungs out, sooth the body, and best if served with a glass of cool ice water from Step 1. We don’t spend more time breathing correctly, so find a small peaceful corner, inhale and exhale and feel alright.

4. Do 5 exercise EVERYDAY with a set amount of reps…Now matter how simple the task, just do it. make a habit of spending about 30 mins at least each day or substitute it doing it every other day and using the alternate day to do cardio, some running or jogging at least 2 miles should prep you to get in shape. So think of doing 20 push-ups, 40 sit-ups, 50 jumping jacks, 20 squats, and 3 stretching routines (arms, legs and core) that shall set you off and running. Then Double the workouts after they become too easy or every 3 weeks until you reach a maximum.

5. WRITE DOWN what you EAT at the end of the day and calculate the estimated calories. Even if it some scribble of a notepad or in a blank retired notebook, JUST DO IT. Just label it MORNING, NOON, NIGHT…and give an estimate calories and take notice of the amount of calories you are STUFFING in your mouth each time frame of the day. Try to cut down on junk and add more fruits and vegetables, and see the differences…I know they might taste bad, if so, ADD HOT SAUCE, they should teach you a learn to complain.

6. Write Down in the same BOOK that you hate writing in what workout out you did that day whether it is more push ups or more leg workout, try to see if you can beat that record every couple of weeks. So you know what should be improving on your body.

Follow these 6 steps, and they will help you get your lazy butt off the chair and get into a new groove of things for the fall.

What do you think of my Fall Tips and Trick for Lazy People? Are you going to try any? Were you trying to find some new things to try out to stay active and drop some pounds in the cold weather?

Man, I was just sitting at home reading a book, waiting for the call from Team AvadeanLewis.com to pick me up and us getting to the shooting location for today‘s photo shoot, well when I say read a  book I meant have my kindle read a book to me (lol), when my phone buzzed and the text message came in, saying we are here.  I had a great photo and video shoot with Avadean Lewis, it’s always a pleasure working with him and the very much insightful knowledge he drops on the workouts and exercises he does to help his clients.

Today’s shoot was one for the record books, it was so much fun while we worked.  We got some very detailed shots of exercises and the star roster of personal trainers (aka Team AvadeanLewis.com) which ran through a set of exercises and motions for photos targeted to showcase the great workouts for the visitors and clients of Avadean Lewis and team.

Today’s stand out moment was everyone taking a break to play some basketball as everyone goes up to dunk and just having a mellow time being themselves and everyone being happy in a family/team setting.  Also the fun short bio recording of the team in which had everyone cracking up and just poking fun of each other was another very fun moment.

I had quite a blast and will definitely work with Avadean Lewis in the future.  Check out Avadean Lewis at http://www.avadeanlewis.com and hire him today to help you reach your fitness goals and live a healthy lifestyle.
