How many times have you thought to yourself, "I should really work out this week," only to find that when Saturday comes around, you once again haven't found the time?
Your fitness and health depends on your habits each and every day. "Cramming," although it got me through college, just doesn't work.
When you're putting your schedule together for the upcoming week, include at least 15 minutes each day for your "health & fitness." This is time for you to do something, anything, that you wouldn't normally do - close your office door and take a nap, lay on the floor and stretch, deep breathe, go for a run, work out, shop for healthy snacks for the next day, etc. By the end of the week, you'll have spent 1 hour and 45 minutes on you, and will have started to make your health and fitness a daily habit.

"Many of us turn to food, especially sweets, for a sense of psychological comfort. I know that for me, if I'm frustrated, frightened, or angry, one of the ways I'm always tempted to deal with it is to lose myself in a Snickers bar. But if I do, I'm not only still frustrated, frightened, or angry, but I've added to my inner turmoil by being mad at myself for what I've just done to my body.
Next time you find yourself reaching for the Coke Classic or a Hershey's bar, stop and ask yourself why. Analyze the situation. Are you craving sugar, something you know is bad for your health, as a pacifier? A kind of appeasement for something that's going on outside your body? Try to identify those things that trigger your cravings for sugar and make every effort to control them."
I was going to attempt to try some of these this morning, but unfortunately my spotter failed to spot me, so I was unable to get into the Handstand position. Here's a video of what we were going for. Anyone think they can do one?
Reminder: NO NIGHT CLASSES TOMORROW. We're at Earth Trek's Rock Climbing.

On Saturday I traveled out to the Naval Academy to watch Doug compete in his first Powerlifting Competition. He competed in the open class(which is age based) at 60kg or 130lbs. Doug blew away the Maryland State record which was previously 308lbs, with a final Deadlift of 330lbs. We meet the owners of CrossFit Diesel from Colombia, MD and a few of their athletes, one of which owns several MD State records for a female. I believe she pulled close to 300lbs in the 132lb weight class. There were a lot of impressive athletes and it was fun to watch my first Powerlifting Competition. Congrats Doug!!
