I came up with idea for this website one evening while I was working out late.  I thought to myself, what's a great way to help promote Exercise, Health, Nutrition and my Love for Jesus Christ at the same time.

I invite you to visit my the other link on this page. Their are a few photos of some races I have entered and a few other photos showing me keeping  the weight off and a much happier me. 

YOU CAN DO IT! 

Me and my best bro, My Dad. Thanksgiving 2005

I love you Dad!

Below is a prayer that I came up with when I was running one day.

I hope you enjoy it.

January 5,2006

Glory to God in the Highest; Thank you Jesus for a better lifestyle and a healthier me. It may be my hard work, but it’s your will. Thank you Lord for giving me the opportunity to live a healthier life. With you in my heart, I shall continue to treat my body as a temple of faith in Christ.

Amen

  • Faith: It all starts with faith, regardless of what faith you fallow. You need to believe and have faith in your God and yourself.

  • Nutrition:   Focus on nutrition! 70 to 80% of reaching your weight loss goal is in nutrition. Count your calories. Also, when you sit down to eat, give thanks and ask yourself. Is this the type of food that was eaten when Christ walked the earth? If not, don’t eat it. I personally stay away from fast food, fat and sugar.

  • Exercise: No! you don’t need to spend 10, 15 or even 30 hours a week doing exercise. The Lord don’t want you to work your tale off at the gym. I do it because I compete and have made it into a passion to cross that finish line 1st in my Lords name Jesus Christ.  Exercising 3 to 4 times of week for at least 30 to 45 minutes should work well for the majority of out there. Just make sure your able to get your heart rate up to about 65-75% Cardio is heart healthy and lifting weights is a plus to build muscle tone and will benefit you bones as your body ages. Never lift heavy weights and when lifting, form is more important then weight.

  • Exercise for beginners: Walking, Yoga, Pilates, Zoomba & or  Aerobics. Group Class work well to get you motivated.

    Important! Always! Always, ask you Doctor if your healthy enough to start any kind of exercise program.

Corinthians 5:14

He indeed died for all, so that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him

Please! Before starting any type of workout. Always consult your doctor to see if your healthy enough to exercise.

A new year brings a great many more challenges. This year I started out my goals in fitness in Los Cabos Mexico. February 7th I made my swim across the sea of Cortez to lands end for the 2nd time in my fitness challenges. In 09 I made the same swim and did it in 41.04 this year I did it in 27.32 Upping my time in the water during the last 6 months has helped loads. Thanks be to God, it was a safe swim.
