Sunday Morning Thoughts… Half-time adjustments

Never Give Up On Your Vision
Everyone has those critics or haters in your life. NEVER give up on your vision based on what they are saying. Listen to this…
EXCUSES EXCUSES EXCUSES
Everyone can always find an excuse not to start. BUT… you NEED to make in investment in your most valuable commodity, YOURSELF!!
PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE and getting UNSTUCK
We all have goals we want to meet. Imagine were we could be if we would make those goals a priority and strategically come up with a plan to reach them.
Let’s chat about what we have been doing
We are in a test group for a brand new fitness program called Liift 4 that is coming out in July. This program hits every area of your body working out only 4 days a week. Let me explain some more…
Why I PRIME my mind each day and why YOU should too
Life is going to challenge you ALL THE TIME. Don’t let it control you!! You can dictate your response to life and how you face circumstances.
LIFE WILL RAIN ON YOUR PARADE. What should you do?
Nobody wants to go for a run in the rain, and will come up with excuses not to go. Life is the same way, you keep coming up with excuses not to do something. Imagine if you would face your obstacles and run in the rain.
What do you do when life knocks you down?
Every singe day life is going to try and knock you down with challenges. We can’t control what happens to us, but we CAN control how we react to it.
Why do we exercise? No it’s not about just losing the weight.
Many people think we exercise to look better… the truth is that we exercise to feel better. It is an overall sense of well-being. You should give it a try and see if you feel better!
What exactly is this trip to the Riviera Maya in Cancun all about and how did we earn it?
In this video I share about our trip to Riviera Maya in Cancun and how we earned it.
➡️Easy choices. HARD LIFE⬅️. ➡️Hard choices. EASY LIFE.
If you are always taking the path of least resistance you are going to have a hard life. But if you are willing to put in the work and have patience, you WILL live a better life. Which choice are you going to make.
How much longer are you going to wait?
You need to have a drive to do what you want to do each day. I get up and workout each day because I want to be here for my family in the future. If you don’t do this now, you WILL pay for it later.
The pain of discipline or the pain of regret
We are all in control of our hours each day, instead of letting our hours control us. You can do the same thing! Don’t look back and regret what you didn’t get done.
DON’T fret about the outcome!
We have been tired and felt worn out this week, but still got the workout in. It is days like this that give you results.
MACRO Patience. MICRO Speed. “Huh what do you mean David?”
It is easy to be committed in the good times, but results will come when you stat committed when faced with adversity. How committed are you??
The fruit of everything in life begins with a challenge
No matter what you are attempting to accomplish in your life, you WILL face challenges. Success will only come when you move past that challenge and not let it derail you.
What is it exactly that we do in our monthly fitness groups for busy people?
People always ask what our groups are about and what we do each month. In summary, we walk people through their health and wellness journey with support and accountability. This video explains it all. Reach out to me if you are interested.
Our lack of patience is detrimental to our results
You didn’t get to where you are over night, so you are not going to see results over night. If you will trust the process and stick to the plan, IT WILL WORK!!
Are we really that busy? Like for real are we??
Do you think you are too busy to take time for yourself? The reality is that there are people busier than you, that are taking time for themselves and accomplishing their goals. Are you ready…
Don’t make decisions without trying
It is easy to say I can’t do it, I don’t have the time, etc… The reality is you don’t know what you can actually do until you try. Will you try today?
Why do we compare ourself to others?
The most dangerous thing we do each day is compare. Don’t get discouraged looking as someone’s “highlight” real. You care only seeing their best and are not seeing the struggles.
In this together. What I do when I struggle.
I am no different than you and have days when I struggle. I have been so busy with work, that I just didn’t feel up to getting my workout in today. Here is what I did about it…

In this video I share a sample of our Core Cardio workout today. We are busy parents just like you, and could easily find an excuse not to workout today. You can and NEED to find the time for yourself. You can do it and we have your back!
Make your “mess” your MESSAGE
In this video I share a little reality. Today was one of those days that we all have, but not everyone will admit it or post it on social media. It is not always sunshine and roses. I am sure you can relate….
STOP talking about what you are GOING TO DO
I hear people everyday saying they are going to do it…. stop waiting for everything to be perfect to start, JUST DO IT!
If you wait… you will be waiting forever
If you want something bad enough, you will find a way to make the time to get it done. You can always find an “excuse” to not do something today. Instead of finding an excuse, JUST DO IT TODAY!

How much do you complain during the day? Traffic, someone at work, lines too long… Take a step back and look around at how many people around us are complaining. You can’t be in a happy place if you are constantly complaining. Let me explain…
