out of the ditch

2012-02-13T05:53:00.000-08:00

Over the sickness, went 2 rounds in 2 weeks. Stayed on track and didn't eat junk. Running raw (well almost) wife made vegan lasagna over the weekend, good stuff.

Still about 70 raw, up to about 95% vegan, can't seem to shake feta cheese for the salad.

feeling good

2012-02-07T06:52:00.000-08:00

I can feel the raw food cleaning me out. I am not 100% there yet but when its not raw I am trying to make it vegan.

Right now I am about 70% raw and 90% vegan.

This is gonna be good.

Zig

2012-01-20T05:21:00.000-08:00

Zig Ziglar, one of the greatest motivational speakers of all times has many quotes but the ones that I love the most.

The elevator to success is broken, but the stairs work just fine.

You can get what you want, if you help as many people as you can, get what they want.

There is rarely a fast track to success, incremental steps moving forward is you best bet, but you must keep moving towards that goal or you won't succeed.

The law of reciprocity. Help as many people as you can and you will see your fortune grow.

see it to make it happen

2012-01-17T07:32:00.000-08:00

What a lot of people don't understand is so simple. The great Earle Nightengale - "You become what you think about, most of the time"

So visualize it to make it happen, see it and then take massive action to attain anything you want. The thoughts combined with action steps is a sure way to succeed in anything.

Weight loss, business, family life, overcoming phobias. All the great ones do those 2 things.

visualize followed by massive action, try it and make things happen.

A few ways to beat the recession

2011-08-27T05:40:00.000-07:00

1. Turn off the idiot box, watching the news nowadays will make you want to jump out of a window. All news is depressing doomsday propaganda. Its almost like they want us in a perpetual state of fear.

2. Change your diet, adding more plant based fiber food staying away from starch and chemicals, buy organic when possible.

3. Whenever you start to feel anxious or depressed, take some deep breaths and get outside. When you are outside closer to nature, you are closer to God.

4. Find faith in something other than yourself, this alone will relieve stress.

5. Some people are a cancer. Nothing but negativity, doom and gloom, the economy, the president, the government, did you hear what they did now, did you see what happened on the news, my 401k, the stock market, my job, my boss....blah blah blah. Cut them out of your life. Only surround yourself with positive people.

6. Pray, meditate, give thanks everyday for what you do have, be grateful, believe me, its not as bad as you think.

7. Focus locally, make a difference, do good deeds. Change yourself, change your family, help change your community.

8. If your a christian, make friends with a muslim, if your a muslim, make friends with member of the jewish faith, if your a jew make friends with an athiest....you get the idea, we are all people don't fall for the divide and conquer.

9. Talk to your neighbor, be friendly to everyone.

10. 40 hours a week is what you do for survival, anything beyond that is what you do for success.

11. I can't stress this enough, turn off the tv, you are being bombarded with hypnotic doom and gloom propaganda, especially as it gets closer to the presidential election, just remember its all just a made up game and they want you to play to keep you in a constant fear and negative state of mind. Take your ball and go home, refuse to play.

Weight loss success

2011-08-19T06:25:00.000-07:00

First, you have to see yourself thinner. Take ten minutes each day to really concentrate on visualizing yourself a few sizes smaller. To many people go for the "lose 30 lbs in 30 days" which almost never happens.

A good goal that is very attainable, no matter who you are or how old you are is 1 or 2 pounds per week. You probably didn't get overweight in 30 days so don't think you can get shredded in 30 days. Small incremental steps holding yourself accountable is probably the best way to go for most of the population. Weigh yourself daily. This is more of a mental exercise, just knowing you have to answer to the scale can keep you from overeating.

I am a little biased when it comes to exercise. Anything that gives you a mind body connection for exercise seems to stimulate everything for quicker results. Mixed martial arts or any martial arts is your best bet. Muay Thai or Thaiboxing, boxing, jiu jitsu, be it Gracie Jiu Jitsu or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or wrestling seem to be the best forms of martial arts for the highest calorie burn and are usually the most effective forms of martial arts. Anything can be effective if taught properly so don't discriminate, train and have fun. Just remember it all starts in the mind.
