ginger-Hulk

My wife and I took the train down to New Orleans for a wedding a few years ago. The train is a pretty awesome way to travel if you aren't in a hurry by the way.

 

We get there pretty late, by my standards any way. It was about 10pm, so it was pretty dark out.

 

The place we were staying was one of those deals where you pay on-line, the person sends you a code, and then you get the key to your place out of a lock box when you get there. I put the code in this stinking thing about 10 times and nothing!

 

I was a little tired and admittedly a lot hangry, so my mind was not right. It is always good when you have to preface things like that, isn't it?

 

I gave the code one more time and then I kind of blacked out. Next thing I know I am holding a lock box that was at one time bolted into a concrete wall. I should have kept a Snickers bar handy...

In the middle of my Hulk Lock Box Smash I am wandering around I see another lock box a little bit down from where I was standing. You can probably guess that the code worked perfectly on that one. That made for a slightly awkward moment for me and the other lock box owner.

 

How scary would a ginger Hulk be by the way?

 

Do you ever feel like you are just beating your head against the wall with your exercise and nutrition plans? Giving it everything you have and all you get out of it is a smashed lock box of results. Just go with me on this.

 

I will let you in on a little secret. Not everything works for everybody.

 

Sounds pretty obvious, but that truth evades many people. Just because someone you know lost 50 pounds and kept it off doing Workout XYZ and eating ABC does not mean it will work the same for you.

 

There are several facts that go into, but when you are choosing what workout to do or how you are going to start eating healthier consider a few things.

 

Consistency- Can I see myself doing this on a regular basis for at least 1 month

 

Lifestyle- Will this fit into my work/family/home life? If it conflicts with more than one area of your life, it is going to be tougher to establish a routine.

 

Enjoyment- Are you going to be miserable the ENTIRE time you are doing this plan? If so, don't do it! There are hundreds of ways to get in shape and eat healthier without having to hate your life the rest of your time on Earth.

 

Be willing to try multiple things before you can find the plan that can give you long term results and that you will actually look forward to doing. There is a plan out there for everyone, it is your job to keep searching until you find it.
