Do you know the importance of recovery for achieving fitness goals?
This is so important and I always take time to stretch, drink plenty of water and sleep. I have found that stretching make me more mobile. This is nothing new, we hear it preached all the time. The older I get though the more I need it and the more my body recovers and I have a better range of movement even throughout my day.
Water is huge!!! I cant stress this enough! I try and drink a gallon a day. This I know is not easy for a lot of people but I have found that it really helps in recovery and hydrate. Again makes my body function at a higher level. I carry water around me at all time and the habit for me was picked up to drink more.
A solid sleep is so important. I strive for a good 8 hrs. Some days I don't hit the mark but whenI do I can totally see the difference in my attitude, movement of my body and how I handle my day.
Just some things to think about? Thoughts?

Self- discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, weather you feel like it or not.-Elbert Hubbard

Whats not up to you?
You control your process,
You control your actions.

Want to figure out how to get the results you need?

Ask yourself these questions:

What steps have i taken to reach my goals?
What behaviors and thought patterns have I refined to stay focused and consistent day in and day out?
What habits even if little have I decided to do or give up to see a better version of me?
What physical steps have I actually taken to see a better version of myself.

These answers are ALL THINGS that you control.
Don't give up small steps make huge changes over time.

Remember !!!! To get a different result we have to do something different with each day putting into practice new habits.

FACT: To burn off one M&M candy, you need to walk the full length of a football field.

Every day is another opportunity at getting one step closer to becoming everything I want to be.

Respect your body its the only one you get!

Its not where you started from, its where you end. Every step is a journey and this is not a sprint its a marathon. A life style change for you, live longer , live healthy, be there for your grand kids, Im 55. If I can do it you can too. I believe in you.

Why is discipline so important? Because it creates a better version of who you are. It creates boundaries within yourself and you have to hold yourself at a standard. This reward pays off, even if its a little something like waking up earlier, or not eating that last donut, how about not buying the cookies.

What if it is going to the gym? Getting that last rep in and then eating a good meal. Drinking the water! Then the reward of your discipline is a great nights sleep, feeling of greatness and grateful that you can actually do these things.

I believe in you!

Milk Thistle: Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) has been used for 2,000 years as an herbal remedy for a variety of ailments, particularly liver, kidney, and gall bladder problems. Several scientific studies suggest that substances in milk thistle (especially a flavonoid called silymarin) protect the liver from toxins, including certain drugs, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), which can cause liver damage in high doses. Silymarin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. And it may help the liver repair itself by growing new cells.

This supplement has been shown in some tests to help with Liver Disease from Alcohol
