Grilled Tuna in a Citrus Reduction

I describe motivation as the essential ingredient to making lasting lifestyle changes. Motivation can mean the difference between the uses of the phrase “I will try” versus “I will do” and ultimately “I have succeeded”. A strategy for maintaining motivation is engaging your network of relationships to support you in your goals. This network may be referred to as those nagging folks we encounter regularly. I have my own nagging network that prompted me to use weights as part of my core strengthening routine yesterday. Sadly, while happy I did some form of weight training, I’m not feeling the oh so pleasant muscle soreness that lets me know I challenged my body. So, for me, that’s a telling indicator that it’s time to up the ante.
So I’m putting thoughts of the disbursement of bacteria via the towels and cleaning solution that have probably been in weekly rotation throughout the gym, and enlisting a JUST DO IT philosophy. I have spent a lot of time setting goals and making plans and then putting off those good intentions day after day. So yesterday, I determined that I needed to focus on each moment as an opportunity to make the best choice to support those healthful lifestyle changes, thus the strength training. Today I will get rid of some of those distractions – the dishes – in order to stay focused. My focus is those behaviors such as high intensity cardio for 45 minutes each day and strength training for 15 minutes each day – yes – with weights.
Stay posted for the many anticipated creations complements of my new Wustof knives.
