fitness mindset.....

I....LOVE.....THIS.....!!!!!


















Do you know a person who is heavily involved in fitness, if given one week to live, will work out at least one or two times of their final last days, knowing full well that they will die the very next week guaranteed. Fitness is as natural as brushing their teeth, taking a shower, or eating. Most , if not all, people who are given a week to live will still brush their teeth, take a shower and eat, irrespective of their fatal condition. Do you fall into that category?

Ask yourself this – when will a cook stop cooking, when will a mother stop being a mother? Given the example above, death would only intensify these conditions of cooking, mothering or working out. I made a commitment that even though I hated working out, I was going to do it for six months straight at a minimum of six times day per week, barring only sickness. So I did just that, didn’t matter if I was tired, had a headache, rained, in the middle of a snowstorm, or I didn’t feel like it. I did just that for six months straight. At about month five, “IT” clicked. I became addicted. I acquired what I had heard about before…The Fitness Mindset. This is a place where you are in pain every day, and enjoy it, because you know you are still alive, know that you are getting stronger, know that you pushed yourself.
Next is to “Just do it” – this is it. If you don’t just do it nothing is going to happen, no magic weight loss pill is going to work, your marriage is not going to magically improve, nor is your dream job going to appear out of nowhere. If you want it, you gotta go get it.



You will have setbacks, those are natural. It’s what you do when have them that won’t be natural. It’s so easy to say, “screw it, this is too hard, it’s not working, I’ll just go back to my old way, at least I’m comfortable with that.” Don’t do it. Instead, cut yourself some slack, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get right back at it. You are only one work out/one meal away from getting right back on track. NEVER GIVE UP!!

Never giving up is the fitness mindset.























Healthy Onion Rings


Makes 4 servings = 3 P.P. per serving

2 sweet onion, sliced
8-10 Tbsp Italian breadcrumbs (make sure they are the Italian ones, not plain.
4-5 egg whites
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.








Spray 1-2 cooking sheets with cooking spray. Cut onion into 1/2 inch thick slices and separate into rings.

In 1 small bowl, place egg whites, in another bowl, place Italian bread crumbs. Dip onion into egg white, then over to the breadcrumbs. You may need even more breadcrumbs as when they start to get wet, they don’t stick too well. Nutritionals are based on what actually made it onto the onion.

Place battered onion rings on cookie sheets. Spray the top of them with cooking spray. Place in the oven for 20 minutes, flip, then bake another 10 minutes until golden & crispy!
