the challenges of life day 5

I'm gonna make it!! Am I gonna make it??

Hey,

I have decided 5 days ago that I would take a challenge, and it's a start for what I would like to accomplish in this lifetime. I would like to be a triathlete. This encompasses challenges of biking, swimming and running, the first two of which I have no problem and am not challenged the way I am when I run.

My cardio is not so great. A student asked me just three days ago, 'how did you first notice when your cardio improved?' To which I responded, I am still working on it. Not yet improved....

A man once told me that if you do anything 25 days in a row, you become addicted. I wanted to test his theory, and to my surprise on day 5, I have felt a little lighter on my feet. I let the student know, I am running 25 miles in 25 days. This can't be so hard. I have to take 8 to 10 minutes of my day and hit the track, no big deal. Yesterday was day 5. If it weren't for Lisa meeting me at the pool, I may have passed up day 5 due to over exhaustion. The studio is near completion, about 75% and yesterday I was tired, cranky and just not feeling like a run.

My client called me at 6 pm and wanted to meet at the pool just a mile away. So I ran there, swam 1/2 mile and she drove me home. Day 6 today, the weather is perfect for a run, and I think i'm starting to become addicted. I listen to my christian music and just plug away at the 4 laps. It seems long, mundane, not so much a challenge but a chore. The challenge will be if I run the 25 miles in 25 day. Wish me luck and say some prayers. I have not yet decided what happens after 25 days. We shall see, right? I am grateful for the challenge..let's see if I get addicted.

Running has always been a pain for me. I could swim two miles, ride 111 miles, but running 26 miles, that will be the ultimate challenge. We all have to start somewhere, so with the 1 mile baby steps, I know with God by my side I can do anything.

I dislike western medicine with a passion...

Yes, Awesome...To turn a real life dream into a real life reality. I have done many things, worked many different jobs, gone many places...but I never thought I could make a dream come true. With God's help, that is exactly what happened.

It all started really, 3 years ago..when I was sitting at the other end of a business conference room table, when a nice client of the law firms told me I looked like crap. I took his words to heart, and trusted that he had something for me that would make it all better. He did.

I ended up trusting him, and he helped bring me to good health. I felt like God had a plan for my life, and it was purposeful...to help others with their poor health too. Kind of like health ministry. And wouldn't you know it, I am hoping to go into a ministry program in the fall. I'm excited and nervous to be back in school again. It's kind of like bible school all day long. I am ready for it, excited because the bible has been my law of life, and that is the road I feel I am destined for. All because I decided to follow my dreams of being a lawyer one day, this is what lead me to helping people with their health.

If you had asked me 5 years ago where I thought I would be now, I would have told you that I would be just about finished with law school, and heading to take the bar exam. Instead, I am opening up my own business in just 1 months time. Its a personal training studio that is amazing and beating the odds. Our business is growing, our name is recognizable, and up is the only place I wish to go.

I never thought I would be a business owner. The cookie cutter lifestyle was so much a reality for me, college, work, work work work, until life's end. Now it's help people who are really sick, take control of their own health. I have a hard time with the pill pushing that doctors have been escalating over the years. As a result, my insurance rates are high, and doctors are getting kickbacks. Anyone I know that has a problem requiring meds is usually on 3 or 4 medications, when all they really need is the proper diet and exercise. I was on medication my whole life until 3 years ago, I don't take a single drug today. I realize there are some drugs out there that are necessary, and really have some promise. But let's face it pharmaceutical reps, what you do is more harm then good if you only knew the amount of people my company has helped reduce their medicine intake to nothing through nutrition. Let's face it!!! Drugs are not nutrition...





I realize that if I get an infection I'm going to need antibiotics...and anestesia for surgery, possibly the drug that dialates fallopian tubes to get pregnant. I'm not knocking all drugs..just what the drug producing companies represent. Have you seen "sicko" yet? I haven't, but I will soon, there are some truths to healthcare and some major need to reform. We are just one small company, but God can do anything with us, so helping people heal and deal, that is our mission.

I am on a mission to change the ideology of health care. But if I can help change just one life like God helped me with mine, then what a priceless blessing. Stay tuned for more medicine bashing...sas out!
