the sun will come out...tomorrow...

Haha. The title of this blog was inspired with the recent national disaster that has visited southern california. Most of you might know this phenomenon as "rain." LoL I don't know what it is about rain that causes southern california to empty the streets, have numerous accidents and emergencies, and pretty much shut the f*ck down. If I were God, I would make it rain in southern california more often for my own personal entertainment of watching people scramble around as if Godzilla were attacking. haha Just take a quick visual of God eating popcorn and looking down at southern california cracking up, like he was watching The Hangover or something. haha

OK. Back to the topic. This blog was inspired by a quote I read from a transformation story in Shape magazine (Yes, I read Shape, and I'll pretty much read anything while I am in the "office"...lol). The quote went something like this, "Don't do something today, that you cannot do tomorrow." I thought that was pretty powerful, as far as making decisions with your regular life. I mean, we should all take risks and stuff, but as far as our daily habits, that quote makes perfect sense. Life is about balance. Less isn't always more or better. These are the statements that prompted me to really write this blog.

While the lady in the magazine was referring to her diet, as in, if you aren't going to eat carbs all day, but then binge all day tomorrow, what is the point? Or if you are going to do 3 hours of cardio today, and be so tired that you cannot do it all again tomorrow, what is the point? Granted, there are psychos out there (myself included), who have dieted to the extremes for a contest, but we are maybe like 1% of the population. The rest of the world should have that quote embedded in their heads when they decide to make crazy decisions about their nutrition and exercise. P90x. I always get the question, "does it work?" That quote applies perfectly to that program. The people who are successful in P90x, will have somehow changed their entire lifestyle and will be doing so for the rest of their lives. The people who view P90x as a 3 month program are destined for failure. Whether it is 3 months or 3 years after, if you go back to your old habits and gain the weight back, did you really succeed? Sorry, not in my eyes. That is the premise behind the company that my friend and I started (FluxFit). If you are really serious about changing your lifestyle to a healthier and more fulfilling one, get at us FluxFit@gmail.com. Enough advertising, back to the blog.

Balance. Life is full of extremes. Bigger is better. Less is more. Blah blah blah. We all have these tendencies and anyone who denies it is full of it. Think about the old school balance. You can never have both sides balanced on the first try. You always give a little, take a little, until it is just about perfect. Well, why don't we treat life that way? Some people believe it is all or nothing. I am a firm believer in being able to multi-task and finding a way to enjoy all your hobbies. I don't believe there is such a thing as completely sacrificing everything for a cause. Yes, I believe in sacrifice and dedication, but life should not shut down just because you need to focus. Get your mind right. It is possible. All work and no play has never been good. Shit, even God rested on the 7th day right?

All I am trying to say in this blog is...while you are working hard, sacrificing, punishing yourself, etc. Remember that we would rather take 2 steps forward and 1 step back...NOT 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Tomorrow is a new day, you don't need to do EVERYTHING, but you do need to do SOMETHING.
