    Are you getting paid?

    It is often a challenge to find a topic for Jasmine and I when we write. The more I actively think about it the more elusive the topic becomes. I am not sure about you but working out always clears my mind; it allows the unencumbered flow of thoughts and ideas to come. This is when inspiration comes. The other day while working out at the gym, I was watching people come in from their day at work, suddenly it hit me.....If most people committed to the health of their own bodie

    5 Big Tips To Maximize Your Results In The Gym!

    Are you maximizing your time in the gym? What you do in-between sets is extremely important. The next time your at the gym, take notice at what most people are doing? They are on their phones. Spending more time focusing on social media or whatever rather than their purpose in the gym. 5, 10 mins goes by when they realize it’s time to perform another set. Watch how they lift too. It’s mindless and really just counting reps so that they can get right back on their phone. The f

    You Are 3 Feet From Gold!

    Here a short story for you...... An uncle of R. U. Darby was caught by the gold fever in the gold-rush days, and went west to DIG AND GROW RICH. He had never heard that more gold has been mined from the brains of men than has ever been taken from the earth. He staked a claim and went to work with pick and shovel. The going was hard, but his lust for gold was definite. After weeks of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore. He needed machinery to bring the o

We understand that for parents it can be challenging to get those healthy meals and workouts in. Even more so when the kids are on school break. So

WE BECOME WHAT WE THINK ABOUT! Lets look at this from an individual who wants to lose weight and never really achieves the success they are looking for: What are they thinking about most of the time? They tend to think about what they don't want. I don't want to fail. My cravings are out of control. W

    More Than Words

    Have you read the book, What You Say When You Talk To Yourself, by Dr. Shad Helmstetter? It is an awesome read. He says in the book, "We become the programs that we get most" In other words, the things we say over and over again to ourselves, whether is out loud or not, gets stronger and stronger through repetition.
