Hello friends, fans, and family,
I hope that you are having a good day. Thank you for reading and for being an awesome supporter. You are awesome and just for being here you are a part of the team, Team Fire Hawk! It has been a very busy week for me, but I wanted to take some to encourage you and to thank you for being so awesome and for being a part of Team Fire Hawk. Thank you so much for your support.
Okay, you are going to come into pop-ups in your life often. However, that does not mean that you are not going to be able to stick to your fitness goals. What you are going to have to do is adjust and overcome. Yes, I know that it is easier said than done. I believe that you can do it. You must believe in yourself. I know how hard it is to adjust after you got your flow going and you are in your grove and everything is falling into place then suddenly you must adjust your workout schedule for whatever reason. Maybe you must pick the kids up for practice early or maybe you must go into work early or maybe you must stay later than you normally stay.  Whatever the reason is these seemingly simple adjustments can mess you all up and the first thing that seems to always suffer is your workout sessions.
If you don't workout you will never achieve your fitness goals. You took the time to research, plan and prepare and/or at least you hired someone to do it for you like a personal trainer. So, if you give up now you have wasted your time and money and all that effort has gone to waste. So, what do you do? What should you so? You should adjust your schedule maybe you need to change your workout day(s) and/or maybe you need to work out earlier or later. The bottom line is you must be determined to work out so that you can achieve your fitness goals.
I believe that once you have achieved your fitness goal people are going to be asking you how you do it and/or how did you do it with your work schedule, or with kids, or with all of the pop-ups that you have in your life. However, if you quit and never complete and/or achieve your fitness goals they may not say anything. They might even say something to the affect that you were too busy anyway and/or it was too big of a goal for you to achieve. I don't know about you but that would eat me up.
 
I am going to close with, adjustments are always going to happen from time to time but your determination, commitment, and steadfastness will show once you have successfully completed your fitness goals.  It is my belief that if you continue to try and push yourself and adjust and learn you will achieve your fitness goals. Have a wonderful and blessed day. I hope that I have helped you in some way. Thank you again and take care always.

​Hello friends, fans, and family,
 
         I hope that you are having an awesome day. And if you are not having a good day then I am hopeful that after reading this you will be having an awesome day. I started a new workout routine and food intake program for the purpose of losing weight and trimming up. It is a big thing for me because I love to eat, and I also enjoy sweets. I also developed a community of friends in the place that I ate at. So, I felt compelled to go there and I wanted to go because my friends were there. This became a problem when I decided to eat better and lose weight and to get back into the gym.
 
You see, I could not do both. I could not eat all of the junk food that I wanted to eat while chatting with my friends, and also get back into the gym. Getting back in shape was and is very important to me but I could not go to the gym and eat nothing but junk food.  I tried, yes, I tried to eat junk food and hang out with friends. But one or the other began to suffer. So, I had to make some choices and of course I talked to my friends about it and they said that I should not even try to get back in shape.  Because, I was at the spot in my life where I would not, and I could not change and that I should just gave up.
 
I did have some friends who supported me. But most of them felt hurt because I would not eat all the junk food and drink all of the alcohol that I used to eat and drink. They said, that it felt like I was separating myself from them and that it was weird to have me around them anymore. Honestly, I was trying so hard to be a part of the circle that I have known for so long. So, it was the opposite, however, I found myself talking about my achievements in the gym and I was told that they thought that I was bragging, and I really was not, bragging. I was just, so happy to be back in the gym and to see the progress that I was making in the gym. I wanted to share this awesome information with my friends. In the conversation I quickly realized that the information that I was putting out was not well received or wanted.
 
Some people are born with perfect genetics. They don't have to work hard in the gym to get the body that they want. They can miss a few meals and/or eat all they want that is it they got the body that they want. Or, they can eat all the junk food that they want and still maintain that perfect body. If you're like me then you must work hard, extremely hard. If I had to say something about myself and genetics, then I would say I am the opposite of the person with perfect genetics.
 
Some people tell me that they can't work out and be healthy because of their poor genetics. They tell me that they have or at risk for high blood pressure and high cholesterol and so on. So, I am going to tell you like I told them. You should get approval from your doctor. Get your doctor's advice and even their recommendation(s). Once you are cleared by your doctor to workout, eat healthy, whatever. Then at that moment you have no excuses. So, stop giving yourself reasons to slack off. If you did not work out for three or more days and you’re on your fifth day with no workout, your slacking.  If your fast food day/Cheat day is more than just one day a week, your slacking. If you have gone three months or more and you have not evaluated your fitness program, your slacking. You need to always evaluate your fitness and health programs to see where you can improve yourself and improve the program.
 
I am going to close with, be the best version on yourself that you can be. Your mind set is everything. You must train your mind as well as your body. The most powerful tool that you have in your possession is your mind. Yes, each person is different and yes, it is harder for some people than other people. So, don't worry about them, focus on yourself. Do what you need to do to stay focused on your fitness and health goals.  

Hello friends, fans, and family, 
it is always said that the grass always looks green on the other side, in other terms it always seems like someone else has what you are seeking and just can't reach, for whatever reason. But the truth is, they have trouble too and they maybe looking at you the same way. Thinking that you have that something that they need and want. The bottom line is that you must work for it. Yes, you must earn it, and if you are doing something that you enjoy doing then it is not work. Nevertheless, there still will be days that you will not want to do anything. This process or struggle if you will is something that we contend with when we make a career change, go back to school and a long while off, getting into shape and/or being healthier. 
          You decide the pathway that you are going to take, yes, we all seek advice and hopefully we take advice from people who are trying to help us achieve our goals with good and solid advice but not all of our decisions are going to be great and that is okay. Just, learn from the mistakes and trying to improve. Be the best version of yourself that you ca be. Comparing yourself to someone else is only going to set you back in the long run, yes, it us okay to seek out people that you admire to emulate but know that they have there own pathway and you have yours. Your friend maybe able to lift more weights than you out of the box, do the best that you can and if you don't lift the same amount of weights and/or the same body design that some other person, that is okay too. 
          You should always strive to be the best version of yourself that you can be in anything that you choose to do. If you have a goal and it gets hard to continue to strive forward because you don't feel like getting up in the morning?! Well, to that I say suck it up and get you butt up. You have work to do and you can't get it done asleep in your bed. You may not feel that you can achieve it when you set out to do it, and that it understandable but realize that it is not impossible. Stay focus and plug away at it. Don't lose your focus. You are always going to have distractions, and pop ups as I put it that is apart of life. Those small moments of victory will prepare you for the big moments in life. No matter what you choose to do, fitness, going back to school, starting your own business, you can do it. Just don't give up and keep going. Yes, it is going to be hard and sometimes extremely hard but it is still not impossible. You can do it. 
          I am going to close with, encouragement is hard to come by sometimes. It seems like everyone is waiting for you to fail so they can say that they told you that you could not make it. Even though that does have an effect on you, you still should keep going because you can do it, and the only way that you fail is if you give up. So, never give up, keep going. You can do it, and I believe in you. You must eventually believe in yourself.
