Hi there it's McAllister Dodds again. Why you exercise is almost as important as exercise itself. Exercising to look good and to reach a swimsuit goal isn't powerful enough to create serious lasting change. I hate doing things I hate and if you do too your not alone. If you hate doing exercise because you "have to" it will never work long term (which is the key). You need to convince yourself that it's something for you, that you can't live without. If you don't get to do it, you're missing out. That's why I like this article. The psychological part is there, and it's an easy fun read that lays out a great way to think about fitness. Here it is.

Hi Everybody,
I just wanted to share this link, as I will with many others about nutrition and eating healthy. I like the concept of this article because it shows how many different ways of eating can be right.
What I like the most is that they show the common bond between paleo, vegan, low-carb etc. to be eating non-processed, or low-processed foods and their relationship with healthy outcomes.

I admit it. I drink coffee, sometimes tea and I don't think there's really too much wrong with it. However, I don't want to rely on caffine to make me feel good or get me through the day. I suspect you feel the same way and that's probably why you are reading this.
So, I wanted to share this link with you for some Ideas to energise without caffine.
