Change!
60 Day Challenge - Day 36
As a follow up to yesterday’s post …
I realize that change is difficult. No one likes it, and it’s hard.
However, if something is going on in your life that you don’t like, why not figure out a fix and CHANGE IT?
We have people come to us all the time with a problem. That problem might be an achin’ back, it might be carrying an extra 10, or 20, or 30, or 50 pounds, or it might be the inability to keep up with your kids or carry a load of laundry up the steps. We have the solution, yet many won’t accept it. And when that happens, here’s what goes through my mind …
What I’d like to say is that obviously what you’ve been doing for the last 10, 15, 20 … years isn’t working for you. Try something different, something that thousands of people have had great success with, something that I, as your coach with 20 years of experience, strongly suggest that you try. What do you have to lose? Just that 30, or whatever pounds, and the thing that’s preventing you from doing what you want.
“I can’t do that.” “That’s too hard.” “I can’t give up X.” Well, I guess you’re going to keep wallowing in your problem. You’re like the 3 year old who is willing to sit in his dirty diaper just because he’s too lazy (and the parents are too) to learn how to use the potty. This doesn’t apply only to nutrition and fitness. Dave Ramsey, a financial guru, often says that it takes a good amount of disgust in yourself to make a change.
If this gets you thinking, do something about it. First step for many is going to be eliminating sugar. It’s one step among many. Do it. Now.
Have any questions? Just ask. But be prepared to hear the honest truth.

This day was rough on my shoulders!
PP: 35#, 65#, 70# I need to keep track of my PRs in the front of my book, since most of what I’m doing is setting PR’s since it’s a first for a lot of things. I guess I need to spend some time with the book

Would it be possible (of course it would) for the coaches to post what they are eating each day? This would be a good way to give the “possibly Paleo” people a few ideas for meals.
Thanks!
