Physical preparation for the work week

If anyone reads this just know I will start working on my grammar and spelling, it has lacked over the years.

It is Sunday night and it's time to get mentally prepared for the work week. My wife and I completed our 5 mile run this morning at Lady Bird Lake in Austin, TX. If you haven't run Lady Bird Lake I highly recommend it..plenty of Austinites to keep you motivated throughout your run. My wife and I keep in great physical shape, it is key to a long & happy life. I also believe it is the foundation of your success in life.

Mental toughness begins with a strong physical foundation. I have noticed over the years how many people are playing the victim far to easily. I see it at work, in relationships and just in every day life. Enough is enough. Stop the status quo and do something about it! I believe it starts with a strong foundation of physical fitness.

The job market, competition for your job and the competition overall is far more fierce today than ever before and will only continue down this road. If you aren't physcially fit to stay on top of your game, to educate yourself further, to go the extra mile when the boss needs it, someone else will sure be waiting to pass you by.

I know we come in all shapes and sizes and that's ok...I know we all live different life styles that may make it easier or more difficult to stay in tip top shape, but the one thing we all do have in common is we do get to make our own choices. So I am asking you to make a choice today to no longer accept YOUR status quo.

My goal this week as I prepare for the large work load ahead is to get up every morning at 5:00am and complete my work out. You see, I usually go for one day or two days a week at 5am and then think I will get to the gym later in the evening. That is usually the case but haven't stop and really assesed the last few weeks. When I finally did stop to recap, I realize that the last few weeks have been non stop work weeks and therefore I have missed some days of getting to the gym or exercising. Each day is a day you can't get back. So, this week will be 5am from Mon-Fri. Let me add that I will not have a glass of wine or a piece of cheese over the next 5 work days either...physical health is 50% exercise and 100% about healthy eating.

Start with a small simple goal that you can achieve and we will build upon from there. Good luck and I will be blogging every day on different topics.
