February 16, 2007

I just came back from a night run with my dog, Tiger. IT was super fun because he is a fast, young sprinter who loves, loves, loves walks!!! I performed a series of sprints, jogs and walks for about 30 minutes. Here is my top 6 reasons why dogs like Tiger is the best training partner in the world! 1. Dogs will NEVER say No to a walk/jog. Dogs don’t cancel on appointments, they don’t get their period or have…

Failures behind every great success

February 13, 2007

February 12, 2007  I’ve seriously bought approximately 11 books in the last 8 days. My thirst for information and knowledge is unquenchable right now. In alliance with my ‘down time’, my ‘up time’ (week days) has also been fast, fierce and ferociously swallowing my energies whole…no joke.  This weekend, I woke up to a quiet Saturday morning and completed my reading on a spiritual and motivating book: “Sacred Hoops” by Phil Jackson. Afterwards I rushed to eat, check emails, feed the…

TOP 6 ways to USE MYSPACE TO launch your FITNESS CAREER!

January 31, 2007

I thought about this idea when I was reading e.How.com’s Tips on using myspace to ‘launch a career’. While the title interested me, I thought their tips were pretty pathetic in regards to being ‘different’ from other pieces of advice out there – especially since anyone can post a resume on yahoo jobs or hot jobs or anywhere else that accepts online resumes. Personally, most of my jobs have come from networks of people who were in the industry I…

Waiting for preparation to meet opportunity.

January 30, 2007

January 29, 2007 I am absolutely, positively, undoubtedly blank right now. I feel like I have nothing to share – nothing to expel – nothing to writebecause there is so much happening: with my emotional state, present focus and newfound internal identity. I am so focused right now that it would honestly be hard for anything outside of my short term ambitions to present itself and be noticed. I’ve reflected old journals, revised current goals and renewed personal promises to…

Top 6 Ways to have a Fit and Healthy Airline Flight

January 27, 2007

I often get emails from people asking for tips – and wondering how to go about the most ‘simplist’ actions in the most healthy way. One of the things we don’t often think about is flying…and how to get the least bang from your butt (literally!) when stuck in a situation when food choices are limited, space is confined and time is not on your side. Here are Top 6 Things I perform religiously before and during any air travel:…

January 23, 2007         Our world is full of energy: both positive and negative. Friends absorb and give you energy – because they have an open heart to receive it. Then there are people and things that literally ‘drain’ your energy – because they close channels of energy moving back to their heart. In this past week I’ve emailed, called, texted, visited and messaged old and new friends to ‘get connected’ once again. I realized that after many strenuous months battling in…

The birth of Passion.

January 16, 2007

January 15, 2007 It was Saturday night at approximately 1:30am when I discovered my daily fitness blog site: fitnesscure was having technical issues. Apparently, while I was devising a new tribute site to my grandfather, I had accidentally canceled my fitnesscure account. After 2 hours on the phone with a very nice guy named Dan from my hosting company, I was asked to either pay a hefty fee to retrieve all old information lost during the cancellation or ‘start all…

January 10, 2007

January 9, 2007 As the weekend began approaching last week, I began receiving inquiries as to what my plans were…and usually they’re pretty stacked with engagements. However, this past weekend was one to put in my personal history books. I literally lived in my pajamas for over 2 days. On Saturday I woke up at 5pm and on Sunday I woke up at 1pm (to pick my parents up from the train station, go dress shopping while waiting and church…

Top 6 Ways I Motivate myself when I train at the GYM

January 5, 2007

Life is built off of routine – and ‘performance’ is like a ‘religious’ action that we not only perform unconsciously but also intentionallly every day. As we step into the gym, there are a series of things we do that prepare us for execution and assist us in success. In this list I will use a lot of war verbage not only because it’s fun, but because it resonates with many since getting in shape will be tough and can…

January 2, 2007  Happy New Year Everyone! Wow! I still find it incredible to witness every passing year and stand in awe as you reflect on how so many things have changed in a matter of 12 months. This year, I was blessed to have my good friend, Dave Slagle, fly up from Southern California, to spend New Years with my family and friends. Dave and I met through a series of synchronized actions, when I decided one day to…
