A day of Chicago Fun!!

Ok guys so over the weekend some of my girlfriends and I had an amazing Sunday in the city! We checked out the Chicago Jazz Festival, went to Ohio St. Beach, hit Ghiradelli's for a sundae, and took a stroll through the Magnificent Mile before jumping on the Orange Line train and heading home.  We had a blast hanging out together and catching up on old times....I just wanted to share with you all the beautiful photos  and videos I took of this city. I know this post is a bit short, so to balance out the lack of info in this blog post I'll leave with something to ponder..... The really happy man is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. – Anonymous Take some detours and make some memories my friends!!

My Interview with Luis Angel Class

Image
Okay guys so I had the honor and privilege of interviewing Luis Angel Class about his amazing book Manifesting the Keys: How I Changed My Paradigm .  This book spoke to me on many levels because I too have found myself in terrible situations or circumstances that I felt I needed to change, and let's face it changes not always easy. Sometimes it's a scary thing to go through and other times it's exhilarating.  In this book Luis discusses his background, the changes he had to make, and he gives some pretty good tips on how to make those changes.  So I'm going to leave the interview that I did with him posted on this blog and I strongly urge you to pick up your copy of this book so that you can make those changes that you need in your life!! Hope you all find value in this interview....love you all!!

Progress Report!!

Image
Okay guys so it appears that it is time for a progress report on how my health and fitness journey is going so far. I am pleased to report that I've noticed a change in my body shape I do not weigh myself because I don't want to get hung up on a number but from here on out I will start measuring myself.  I see changes and I would like to document them in a more accurate and organized fashion. The changes I'm seeing in my body are really getting me fired up and motivated to keep pushing forward.  I am so curious to see just how much of a transformation my body can actually make. I'm nowhere near where I want to be but I know that I'm on the right path to getting there. I would rather focus on my small celebrations, such as inches lost, then on negative thoughts or self talk. Aside from watching what I eat and exercising as much as I can and let's be honest it's not as often as I want it to be I also am using a couple of different regimen. 1. Weighted...

My Interview with Sandra Crespo

Image
Ok guys, so I have read an amazing book called Breaking Your Limits: How to Create the Reality You Desire . It was written by a very good friend of mine named Sandra Crespo. I really enjoyed reading this book, she gives so much insight into her transformation in this entrepreneurial online business paradigm. As a full-time traveling family Sandra and her husband have had to think outside the box when it comes to creating revenue and income for their family.  In this book she shares how it took her several years and so much effort to make that mindshift.  Her chapters on self love and gratitude really blew my mind and I'm so happy that I get to share this interview with you guys!! Thanks for watching!!!

Burning Calories The Smart Way

Image
Okay guys I know I missed a post last weekend, but we were revamping our home and decluttering all over!!  I highly recommend a good decluttering, it not only clears your home but your mind as well.  I would love to post about that and share some of the pics from our household adventures, but today I want to talk about burning calories. I did some research on the web and found this video: https://yurielkaim.com/walking-for-weight-loss/ This man's name is Yuri and he comes up with a very scientific and mathematical formula to burning calories. W=F*D In essence this video breaks down how energy is burned through work, which is equal to force times distance.  I provided the link so that you can view this video it's about 10 minutes long and he describes in better detail all of the scientific and  mathematical aspects to this concept.   Basically he discusses burning more calories in a shorter amount of time by enhancing weight and distance ...

Self Discipline

The path to success is never straight, there are several twists & turns, set backs, and obstacles. Motivation can only get you so far, but self discipline can take you anywhere.  Self discipline is not wanting or feeling like taking action but doing it anyways. Motivation can be found through speeches, videos, well versed songs, poems or any form of media for that matter.  Self discipline is something that is learned over a long period of time.  Your brain creates neurological pathways when you choose to do something.  Those pathways must be strengthened in order to become a habit.  Unfortunately bad habits are formed the same way....by strengthening the pathway through choosing a lack of action. What we are trying to do is wipe out the bad habits by rewiring our brains , it takes massive action and self discipline so here are some tips I have found to help me and some of you as well. 1. Write down how you feel before your action.  For example, ...
