Why Am I Here… ?

I mean really, if I want to research & improve my eating habits, stick to regular exercise, develop & maintain an attitude of gratitude, make forgiveness a priority, seek intimate counsel, peace & direction in my spiritual life… why broadcast it? Why document it? And why embarrass myself publishing my personal wrestling match with those annoying XL-tags on my Meal & Workout Journal blog?

Well, its very simple. It’s all about LOVE. I’ll spare you the philosophical details. Suffice to say that when I read statements like this (click here):

“Who would’ve thought we’d ever see the day where what you eat (and) exercise, could account for more cancer deaths than smoking?”

it pisses me off! We have simple, inexpensive remedies available to avoid such pain & heartbreak, and to live a life of inner wealth, but the information is being diverted from us. I mean really, where’s the money to be made by the various corporations (tabacco, fast/processed food, pharmaceutical, heathcare, etc) that make a financial killing on our bad habits? It remains unfortunately true: the pursuit of profit is the root of all evil.

…however, in the final analysis it is we OURSELVES who determine our future fitness!

And with my little vent I’ve blown off enough steam & invigorated myself to jump into my yoga pants this morning & join the opening workout of my annual attendance at the Las Vegas Health, Healing & Happiness Expo… I’m out the door to gather more info & momentum on this journey… toodles! 



Love-love-love it! If Meat Eaters Acted Like Vegans w/ JP

For your consideration & enjoyment:

It’s hilarious irony, I love this type of humor! After you laugh ask yourself if you know vegans who act (reflectively) like this?

Pay some mind to the critiques by his pals at the end:

As he redundant repeated his emotionally-charged nutritional opinions at me, I was instantly convinced to become a meat eater.

JP was the most illogical, condescending person I’ve ever met.”

BTW, great headband!

Exercise Moderation 

Some interesting info about sustained (long term) high endurance exercise. Negative coronary results were obtained from young rodents on a short-term (two weeks) demanding exercise regimen. They were able to bounce back and reverse ill effects on their heart. Future research is needed to measure reversibility effect on older long-term endurance athletes. Until then all things in moderation
