Be Amazing

Every day is a gift.  A chance to do something amazing.  Your health and all that it takes to be healthy should be your daily gift to you.

This past week a hotel room was my home.  In the past I would pack the necessities and away I would go.  This time, I planned ahead!  Protein bars.  Fruit.  4L of water.  My pre-workout supplement.  Vitamins.  Blue Menu meals and soups (get them at Superstore).  Of course my sneakers and lots of gym clothes.

The hotel gym was actually really good.  I did a little improvising with the universal gym system they had there but all-in-all I had success.  The two nights I couldn't get to the gym because of meetings, I did some exercises in my room.  Situps, pushups, dips, curls with that 4L of water (it was my kettle ball LOL), squats, planks, v-sit, jumping jacks, burpees, mountain climbers.....  That got my mojo going and made it much easier to sit in a training room all day.

As I head down this road of amazingness (insert hilarious laughter here) I am really finding it difficult to come up with an excuse not to be active.  There is no reason a person can't take ten minutes three times a day to get their mojo going.  There is no reason not to drink lots of water.  There is no reason to not eat healthy and be satisfied.

As Eminem said,

"You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo..."

Your health is part of the package.  Part of being loving, kind, caring, compassionate, empathetic.  When you are healthy, whole and happy, you can be all you need to be for yourself and for others.

So be amazing today!  And tomorrow and the day after that.  What are you going to do to ensure you have an amazing day??

Love the one you're with!  XO
