It’s not important what you do.
It’s less important that you label it.
It only matters that you do it.
You are ready to make a change.
Do you start by baby stepping your way into exercise with five minutes at a time or do you sign up for a 10k race six months from now?

How many times have you said,
“I’m on vacation. I’m going to eat what I want.”
“I’ve had a rough day. I’ll eat what I want.”
“I’ve been really good all week. I’ll eat what I want.”
“My business is paying for this. I’ll eat what I want.”
Really, never?
How many times have you heard this or thought this yourself?
Do you feel like your friends, families or co-workers sabotage you?
Are you afraid you’ll lose your spontaneity and be licensed to a life of routine?
Do you think that you will never celebrate a birthday with a piece of cake or be able to work creatively because you’re on a schedule?
Enough already. Healthy people are fun. Productive people are fun. You’re just making excuses not to uplevel.
In 2000 I decided to up my running and go for the full marathon. I thought by the day of the race I would be a lean, mean, muscle-machine. Boy was I wrong.
Being Hangry is no joke. Hungry + Angry is Hangry and Hangry is irritable, frustrated, unhealthy and unproductive.
