How Do I Stay Motivated?
Working out in the morning gives you a energy and confidence boost because you start the day with a success rather than setting you up for failure when you don’t work out in the evening.
Oh, and a healthy breakfast with oats is another GREAT way to start your first meal of the day.
Your Body Is Your Temple… Treat It That Way.
TREAT YOUR BODY LIKE THE MOST EXPENSIVE PIECE OF JEWELRY.
AFTERALL, IT IS THE ONLY PLACE YOU HAVE TO LIVE IN FOREVER.
Fuel it with the most delicious and healthy foods. Cleanse it with enough water. Smother it with body lotion. Wear it with pride.
Your Motivation of the Day: Ashley Sky.
There is absolutely everything to love about Ashley Sky. Let us begin with stats. She is 20 years old. OK that works. She lives in Miami. That also works due to the being tanned all year around. Finally she’s 5’9 and weighs 104 lbs. Looking at that toned body, there's no doubt this girl follows a strict diet with an intense workout. That, or, really, really good genes.

Fitness Tips For Dummies!
It may not be 100% accurate or technically sound but his tips are very practical and easy to understand. I also find him quite entertaining.
Memorable quotes:
"If you wanna start 'carving' up (meaning getting ripped), then you gotta stop carbing up!"
"The human body uses carbohydrates to get energy, right? ...You don't need any energy to watch TV or to chill! Don't eat carbs at night, voila!"
"Since you wanna starve me throughout the day, I'll just store the fat right there."
"The word DIET basically means the way we eat. People think being on a diet means starting to eat less food... NO. It just means the way you eat."
"You have to push your body to the next level."
"You will never see an overweight sprinter."

More Reason To Get Off That Couch: Sitting Is Killing You
Gotta love these infographics. I can totally see how sitting can make you fat. The more you sit, the more you hate to stand. The question is, how does Professor X from X-Men get his exercise? From using his mind?
I'm surprised that it's more proper to sit at a 135° than 90° though. Would have to make that more of a habit. This calls for a pimp, new office chair.

Here’s The Trick: Routine Is The Enemy
♡
“Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.”
- Greg Classman, CrossFit Founder
Obsessed is a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated.
I need to work extra hard these coming weeks because I'm signing up for my first marathon ever - a 10km run in KL. Let's do this!
Herbed Pasta with Smoked Salmon
Lunch I made the other day - which was fairly simple to make.
Just steam the broccoli in the rice cooker while cooking the pasta. Drain the pasta once it's cooked and heat up the saucepan with some extra virgin olive oil. Sauté the pasta and then sprinkle the 'Herb & Garlic' seasoning with it. Serve on a plate with the smoked salmon on top and steamed broccoli on the side.
I've been drinking 2 glasses of warm lemon water every morning for over a week and it's doing wonders to my digestive system, skin and appetite! If you drink coffee every morning, try giving warm lemon water a try this week - it makes a good form of laxative too 
Are You Ready To Change Your Mind?
You're right. It is easier to eat pizza than run on the treadmill. It's easier to turn to ice-cream rather than people for supporters. It's easier to say "Fuck it, I give up" than to say "Fuck this, I can do this."
So you know what? I'm not going to sit here and tell you day after day you can do this. If you don't believe you can, then you can't. That's the honest truth. You need to do this for you. And if you don't want it enough, then you sure as hell won't achieve it. So take the easy way out and remain unhealthy and continue to gain weight because you can't realize you are the only one hurting yourself.
I didn't say it would be easy. I said it'd be worth.

This Rule Doesn’t Just Apply When Working Out…
Oh it's easy to bitch. It's easy to be a bitch. It takes strength and a patience to be nice. Do everything without bitching. You'll find the world a more calm, peaceful place.
