I dedicate every pore to what’s here-
Thanksgiving is already here and taking a page from the retail sector … Let’s skip thinking about Thanksgiving and look forward to a favorite subject of ours: New Year’s resolutions.
“This will finally be the year I lose twenty-five pounds, stop drinking on the weekends (until St Patrick’s Day … ), save some money, finish the basement, spend more quality time with the family.” Do any of these resolutions sound familiar? The arrival of the Holiday Season naturally lends itself to valiant attempts on our part at making a fresh start. The problem is that these resolutions are not so easy to achieve.
What if we told you, today – the day before Thanksgiving can be your New Year?!?
It’s time to sober up peeps, go ahead and take another self pic of yourself on the scale to post and look in the mirror instead of looking at your phone as you take another glamorous duck face pic … Do not avoid your current health in this moment, reflect on your current health. This moment is your second chance.
Our culture is obsessed with instant transformations and makeovers, hello: Turn the TV on one evening and what do you see?. What we just asked you above is not easy and making firm resolutions for genuine change is even harder. In this moment reflect and your past and commit yourself to genuine change.
What were you thinking this time last year … The vicious cycle begins anew.
The Plan-
Link of the Day: Un-Hear-It <— This is a must clicky today peeps!?!
The Workout-
Some Happy Hips and a little Balance Beam work followed by:
Hill Sprint + 15 Hard Style KB Swings (at the top)
20 is a nice harmless number.
**If you are going to beat the hell out of yourself all Holiday Season? Might as well do it in a nurturing fashion then …**
Notes:
Reflect, today is your second chance … ENJOY!!!

My body sucks. I exercise religiously, diet, binge, read all the mind numbing blogs and magazines. Yet I still feel inferior to others (Gals and Dudes are equally guilty).
“I just wish I could stop beating myself up all the time over petty, little things … That’s it I quit! ”
Like it or not all of us React to adversity and troubling times when we should be Refocusing.
We could not possibly leave you in such a depressed state on a lovely Friday morning could we?!? What follows could be called advice, by some. Others may call our kind words unwarranted and self-righteous, either way we are all adults here and we can form our own decisions …
Are you a quitter? Do you find yourself tossing in the towel daily? Here’s the lowdown peeps: Quitters blame those around them and the world for their disappointments. YOU are not a quitter!
Less time Reacting and more time Refocusing.
The Plan-
The Workout-
Limber up with the program from yesterday … Followed by:
30 Minutes of the following:
10 KB Floor Presses (each arm)
1 Turkish Get Up (each arm)
10 KB Bent Over Rows (each arm)
Notes:
Be sure to go back through this weeks posts and click on the images! Most of them are perfect for your desktop (Hi-Res). Be well this weekend and ENJOY!!!

We are in such poor shape, feeding on ourselves day in and day out. So much so that we are too worn out to do anything about it. Doing nothing does not help either … Fantastic!!! We are trapped in a vicious cycle.
“I’ve lost complete interest in the simple things I once enjoyed.”
“I have little hope of making it through this day.”
Take a deep breath, Walk with us …
Clear your cluttered mind and consider your situation: Today has been a struggle, let’s continue to simply put one foot in front of the other … Building momentum and slowly regaining the energy we have been lacking to get by.
The Plan-
Link of the day: Post Election Depression
The Workout-
Man Makers of the KB Variety
Pick a nice, challenging weight and keep going for 5 complete sets. If you have to break up the set of 5? You incur a penalty of 20 Perfect Push Ups … We don’t recommend breaking up the sets!
Notes:
Balance. Nifty word isn’t it?!? Does the top of the post make sense at all? Here’s the answer you are looking for: We (you reading in the car as well) have a nasty habit of doing nothing … and then doing way too much. Fourteen words for you to think about … ENJOY!!!

End of the Day
Posted: October 26, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: active rest, blogging, crossfit, exercise, fitness, free range, gluten free, happiness, health, hipster, jogging, kettlebell, love, lululemon, lust, marathon, motivation, natural, nature, paleo, passion, perspective, pilates, recovery, rest, running, star wars, trail running, whole foods, writing 8 Comments… Greet everyone you meet with a warm smile, no matter how busy you are.
Don’t rush encounters with coworkers, family and friends.
Speak softly. Listen attentively.
Act as if every conversation you have is the most important thing on your mind today.
Look your children and your partner in the eyes when they talk to you.
Stroke the cat, caress the dog.
Lavish love on every living being you meet.
See how different you feel at the end of the day.
