2 Corinthians 4:8-9
“we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;”
300 Challenge Crossfit Conroe
80% is greater than 20% right?
I had a really good week as far as eating goes, a couple of meals with some starches but not very much. I can tell you it seemed to be that my performances were enhanced just because of what I ate and what I put in my body.
Some of us workout just to eat what we want, WRONG! In almost every way I can think of, by doing this you will NOT stay the same but yet digress. The more you become active the more your body requests that you consume, the good stuff.
Whats the good stuff? Vegetables, greens, meats, nuts and seeds and some fruits. The bad? Grains and sugar primarily; that’s your breads, rice, beans, and processed plastic they call food. I watched a video the other day and they said eating food that doesn’t have a label, you know the label that tells you what…

Opportunity
Take a chance, take charge of opportunity
If you’re not continually growing as a person and in a state of stagnation, more than likely the only step is back and at best you stay put in your current state and the people around you leave you behind. Approaching everyday with the sense of a desired pursuit of improvement allows for many opportunities to arise. “Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.”-
Tony Robbins It is our privilege and RESPONSIBILITY to do something with this gift, this life. Opportunity comes welcomed and un-welcomed; Job interview is an opportunity to improve current economic situation, but opportunities can come in the outcome of failure as well. You lose your job, can’t pay rent, are you prepared for this opportunity as well. The opportunity too come out of the depths of the deepest darkest times of our life…

Greatness
Check yourself
You sometimes have to reach for what you cant see in order to have excellence. Everyday we go through life thinking of what the day has in store but we really don’t know. The time we have is only now this very moment which means we have to use it to the fullest. Not one minute should go by that we don’t strive to be the best person that we can be educationally, physically, and spiritually. In the same breath we should exhale “morality” in doing so. It all goes hand in hand. Good things never come easy and great things become arduous, but that doesn’t mean quit. We must challenge are self each and everyday and when life becomes strenuous or unyielding it only means were on the verge of greatness. Friedrich Nietzsche said “It is the privilege of greatness to give great enjoyment with trifling gifts.” Sometimes we…

Pain
PAIN
Noun
Physical suffering or discomfort caused by illness or injury.
Verb
Cause mental or physical pain to: “it pains me to say this”.
Synonyms
“Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.”
― Lance Armstrong, Every Second Counts
What do you consider to be pain? Your not the only one who deals with pain, and not that your pain is of no importance but put it into perspective. What we feel on a day to to day basis is just that, day to day. Nothing good happens over night and nothing bad is corrected instantly, it’s step by step and done in a positive perspective, it could be worse. When I feel out of the zone and the wheels fall off, I try to help the next person, it helps me with the perspective aspect. If I can get through my worse day well I must have something to offer to the next person dealing with their worse day. It’s not just about me, pain for one1 can be felt through a community. Put your hand out, you will be surprised who grabs a hold. A stranger, a friend, a family member, or it could be a hand to pull you along when you need it. Do your part, step up.
Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.
Walter Anderson

Friedrich Nietzsche said “It is the privilege of greatness to give great enjoyment with trifling gifts.” Sometimes we muddle our mind in the search of what is next when we should embrace the moment and fight for greatness. A lot of the time we think we cant do something because we condense our goals into one big leap when in reality there are steps. Worry about taking the first step and the other foot will follow. Just as simple as walking to the gym or the library or church take the first step and you will be amazed where you end up. Rise to the challenge, take the first step and I guarantee you not only will the other foot follow but so will others. MIND BODY and SOUL.
Body- Massage
I, like most people that work out, put my body through intense workouts and have soreness and tense muscles. I have always heard about Therapeutic Massage but never tried it and pushed it off until Thursday 2-7-13. It was relaxing and therapeutic and the best decision I have made since training. It helped with mobility and worked out knots that inevitably occur through training. This is a must do for crossfitters or for anyone that is active. Kim Schneider was who worked on me and I suggest using her office the website is above. She is VERY good and caters to your specific needs. Even if your just going to try it once you wont be disappointed. The health benefits out-weigh the cost and so does our well being. Treat your self to a massage fine tune your body allow it to be in tip top shape. Here is a link to benefits to a massage. Click Here Massage benefits.
Body- Segment
Very important to approach this with your mindset as this is your tool(your body, health and well being) to go through life with and you only get one. When the unknown arises be prepared, when your kids what play at the park be involved, be the a person someone can lean on for strength. I completely endorse crossfit, this is a training program that will allow you to improve functionality, become stronger, and reach your goals. Two websites too check out would be crossfitconroe.com and crossfit.com to grab an insight of what crossfit is. If crossfit is not your avenue some sort of strength training is encouraged and especially if you are just starting out to have a trainer to show you the ropes would be ideal. What do you like to do? To be able to do these things and exceed expectation is the ultimate goal. Check out this video! Again we are trying feed each category MIND BODY SOUL. There is not one focus, but yet to focus on all three. Every day increase your knowledge, use your body, and always remember we are just a piece to a bigger puzzle.
