I'd like to try a Combo

 
A combo in today’s world is usually in reference to some type of fast food meal. Burger and fries, Sandwich with chips and a drink, slice of pizza and bread sticks, Chinese food- meat and rice w/vegetables etc..., the list could go on and on. This is what most people think of when they hear the word combo.


Growing up for the most part in high school I was no different. Combos were and still are a value. You get more bang for your buck as one could say. You get more food for your money to help satisfy your hunger.

Now on to another type of combo.
In fighting a combo is a combination of strikes, punches, kicks or both performed in rapid succession, usually from a stand-up position. You have heard of the one two punch in a fight. It is typically the combo that wins the fight.

In health and fitness a combo would be proper nutrition combined with exercise. This is not the preferred combo by the average American. However this is the only way to successful weight loss and sustaining it, and it’s the only way to a healthy life. You can't just work out and eat junk and think it will work. You also cannot eat just ok and not workout and think things will be fine.

So here we are. What do you want?
A fast food combo? Think of it this way, fast food equals a fast track to fat and unhealthy.
Or the other option, do you want a healthy and fit combo?
Challenge packages are the perfect combo to get fit. You get fitness programs that are proven to get results. Now combine that with Shakeology, a proven nutrition choice and you have the perfect
one-two combination to win the fight. You also get more bang for your buck.
Are you up for a challenge? Could you use a better combo in your life?
Pick a combo and fight, I promise you’ll feel better and look better.
Now how’s that for a combo?

Food is a Matter of Life and Death

I like to stay positive but since I watched the clips from the film Food Matters some things have bothered me. I posted the clip on my wall on Facebook and figured this could be good motivation. For years I have known people, my mother being one, whose doctors tell them they’re in good health for their weight, or your fine for your size. What a load of crap. I am not saying all doctors don’t have your best interest in mind, but come on. Lets not dance around the situation, they know very well if you don’t change things you’ll be back for prescriptions for the “fix all” which keeps them in business and the pharmaceutical industry making huge profits. My mom now has diabetes and my grandmother had it.
My mom for at least the last several years has asked about exercises and diet advice and for years I have given it. The worst part is she has diabetes because she didn’t want to really change, the really sad part is when she went to her new doctor and nutritionist they told her all the same things I have been saying. They now have told her if she doesn’t get it together they will put her on meds. Now they have her attention.
All I am saying is you have a choice, be healthy or not, to eat right or not. In the last year I have gone through a load heavy to bear sometimes and I have a choice – sit and feel sorry about the situation, get depressed and see a doctor I can’t afford, be on meds I can’t afford, or dig down and take control of what I can – my health!
Please watch the Food Matters clip, it makes sense. Being healthy is good for you but not for your doctor or the pill companies. My father is a doctor and my kids and family have wonderful doctors. You all probably have great doctors. I am not saying don’t go to the doctor or don’t trust your doctor. I think most doctors do have your best interest at heart, but go for the things you need to be there for. There is a difference between being sick and allowing your self to be sick. Be healthy for your family, your kids, or your future family, above all be healthy for you.
This all leads me to my quote for the week for you. I saw this on a sticker and thought how true – “The next time you see your doctor ask him if getting off your ass is right for you!”. I hope you all have a great week.
