Stephanie and I just returned from a seven day pleasure cruise, aboard the Celebrity Silhouette, with folks from Dan Miller's 48 Days community. If you have ever been on a cruise before, you know that the culture is one of laying back, relaxing and enjoying entertainment and an unlimited amount of food. It's not uncommon for folks to gain as much as one pound per day on a cruise. Most people are prepared for the fact that they are going to gain a few extra pounds during their trip. However, I was determined that I would not only not gain weight while on the cruise, but that I would actually lose weight with my continued commitment to my healthy lifestyle. In this episode of Pursuing A Balanced Life, I share the decisions that I made during my week on the cruise ship as it relates to exercise and food choices. At the end of the episode, I reveal the result from stepping on the scale upon my return.     Special Thanks to my Patreon Supporters I am so incredibly thankful for those who have decided to show their support for Pursuing A Balanced Life by becoming a Patreon supporter.

In this week's episode, I share my excitement regarding the fact that I've scheduled my first appointment with my personal trainer and that I've officially registered for my upcoming triathlon. Also, Jason Purse posted a comment on last week's episode saying, "I'm having a bit of a challenge - my wife and children on not on board with joining me with my behavior modification when it comes to changing the quality of my food intake. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated." I share my thoughts on this in this episode.     Special Thanks to my Patreon Supporters I am so incredibly thankful for those who have decided to show their support for Pursuing A Balanced Life by becoming a Patreon supporter.

Don't let the well meaning, yet unsolicited, advice of others discourage you when you are making such great progress. They will often tell you what you are doing is great, but how you can do much better by following their advice. Some will tell you what you are doing is wrong and tell you what you should do instead. Here is some of the most common, yet unsolicited, advice that I have received in the past two months... "Don't eat eggs, don't eat wheat, don't eat sugar, don't eat fat, don't eat meat", etc etc etc. I'm pretty sure that if you were to only juice organic tree bark, you would still have someone telling you that you're doing it wrong. Here's my advice... Start somewhere. Make a lifelong commitment to a single change. As long as you are doing better today than you were before, celebrate that and take it to the next level at your own pace.     Special Thanks to my Patreon Supporters I am so incredibly thankful for those who have decided to show their support for Pursuing A Balanced Life by becoming a Patreon supporter.

In this episode of Pursuing A Balanced Life, I share my experiences from my first road trip since November 14th, which is when I made a commitment to exercise and a healthy lifestyle. This was an important experience as these road trips, in the past, had been quite disruptive to my healthy routines in that it can be difficult to fit in workouts. Also, I have a history of eating and drinking all sorts of horrible junk on these long road trips.

I recorded this episode of Pursuing A Balanced Life while I was out for what turned into a 7.62 mile walk. It was cold, but the sun was shining.

I also share some other significant changes that I'm making in my life.     Special Thanks to my Patreon Supporters I am so incredibly thankful for those who have decided to show their support for Pursuing A Balanced Life by becoming a Patreon supporter.

In this episode of Pursuing A Balanced Life, I share why I have decided to ditch my fitbit for good and why I've decided to fully embrace a heart rate monitor instead. There is one thing that I feel that is important to point out. In the episode, I suggested that the book stated that even the strength training workouts should be areobic focused. However, looking at my notes, the book states that rule 1 is to commit to working out six days a week, every week, for the rest of your life. Rule 2 actually states that you should "do serious aerobic exercise four days a week for the rest of your life." So the stregnth training days are not necessarily focused on being serious aeorobic exercise. So, just to be clear, the commitmetn is to work out six days a week and four of those six days should consist of serious aerobic workouts. More detailed information can be found in my posts listed below.
