Healthy Living Leads to Healthy Eating

As a part of the new year we have stepped our game up as a family. This means that everyone in our family is eating better. This also means that we are helping support each other no one is left out and no one sits on the sideline not helping. This initiative to get healthy is not only better for our bodies but is helping us come closer as a family. It is true there are times we are at each others throats but we are working to be slower to anger as we progress our lifestyle changes. 

The unity piece we have seen in how willing the kids are to help prepare meals and snacks. The first time we did some snack preparation we allocated jobs to each of the kids and they were eager to help us. To go with this there was not fighting everyone knew what they had to do and focused on getting their job done.
This week we did some meal preparation as well where we made pepper and ground turkey mix with brown rice and veggies. She also did another mean with chicken, carrots and sweet potato that baked in the oven together. Needless to say it is delicious, surprisingly filling, and best of all healthy.

To go with all of the healthy living Megan has been on a cleaning/de-cluttering kick and... I LOVE IT!!! Below is just a few example of her getting it done and taking some names while she is at it.

Still Going to the Gym...

1/27/2015

So far going to the gym has been tough but definitely worth it. I can start to feel my body getting use to going and getting use to the activity. I am also beginning to feel a ton better during the day when it comes to productivity and energy. I am also starting to see the benefits of going in the sense of muscle gain and shrinkage. This to go with this I am also starting to see a attitude change from "this is hard" to "I can do this" which is a great mental change.

I am also fortunate to have an amazing wife that not only supports me but challenges me. Not only when it comes to the gym but in all the aspects of my life. That would include this blog, I have been putting it off because of business and to be frank laziness. She has motivated and prompted that I get back on here and continue blogging to share my experiences and create a brand more myself. I truly have no one else to thank but her for continually kicking my ass into gear.
Lastly I wanted to put up some recognition to my daughter Vanessa. This week she won her school spelling bee. I would like to note that this was done on her own accord. She set her mind on it and practiced hard to make sure she could achieve it. To go with this her humbleness is almost staggering given her age and accomplishment.

Early Morning Gym

I have never hated the gym as much as I do at 5:30am in the morning. but I have found that this really helps me get going for the day. I have seen an increase in my productivity at work and at home. Not to mention it feels great not stressing about whether or not to go to the gym.

Usually my morning consists of taking creatine to help give energy before I leave. right when I get to the gym me and Megan stretch. from their we do some running/walking to get warmed up. After that we usually do some area specific weights to help build muscle. we also use this time to throw in some cross fit style excersizes. lastly we round everything off with some squats and ab excersizes.

Overall while I may hate waking up at 5:30am the benefits far out way the short term gain of staying in bed. I would also highly recommend this to anyone who is considering it. It really removes all excuses that come up during the day and just gets it done.

How and when do you excersize?
