Only this moment is life-
What does it mean to be fully present?
For starters: Stop worrying about Thanksgiving and take care of your Body – Mind – Spirit in this present moment.
A few startling patterns will begin to come into focus for us this week. Chances are you are aware that the Thanksgiving Holiday is this coming Thursday here in good ole ‘Merica! Before we get off topic on another rant (and you can probably guess where this rant will go …) we want to talk about a taboo topic around these parts: DIET.
We quite literally just finished reading the 100th blog-o-post about working out and eating right this coming Thanksgiving. Seriously peeps … Dare we tread into troubled waters?
“Oh how nice, eat less, exercise more!?! Ground breaking stuff right there!“
This type of advice is nauseating and inadequate at best. Take a quick look around at the waistlines of the lovely peeps passing by? Something should become painfully clear: Different body types use calories in different ways. Each one of us are programmed and predisposed to carry more fat, more weight than others. No kidding hot-shot – Diet and exercise help … (<—Key Word). Although when all is said and done, the solution we seek is inevitably more complicated and complex than pushing away the plate and torturing yourself in the days leading up to Thanksgiving.
One day out of one year feasting with close family and friends will not hurt … We promise!!!
**Take a moment to re-read the quote at the top of the post again, we beg of you**
The Plan-
The Workout-
Let’s start with a nice refreshing Happy Hips Warm Up. Followed By:
150 Alternating Goblet Squats (flowing)
150 Hard Style KB Swings (snappy)
150 Perfect Push Ups (even power)
Slice ’em and Dice ’em as you see fit … 15×10 works pretty well?!?
Notes:
Be fully present peeps, it’s all we ask … ENJOY!!!

ah, the diet obsession! sprouts up all the time… like athletes foot… beautiful workout, will be trying this one later in the week! thanks
I hope all is well and you are taking care?!? Ughhh … Diet talk is so painful to endure! 😉
I’m with you: nauseating.
The Apocalypse can’t come soon enough … Just a few more weeks. 😉
😉
I’m laughing my ass off right now and you know exactly why …
I sincerely hope you and your family have a great week!
Yes, yes indeed I do! Your shirt should be ready in the next week or so. Email me your address.
I’m sincerely thankful for all you’ve done to help me over the past several months. Your mentoring and humor are truly a joy for which I am immensely grateful.
Will do and thank you! I have part two of today’s rant ready to go for tomorrow … I think I’ll fold it up and save it for a snowy day here soon, maybe around New Year’s?!?
Sounds good to me!
I plan to be present for Thanksgiving dinner, and enjoy every minute of it.
Same here! Each and every minute. 🙂
