Is my Healthiness Making you Uncomfortable?

Commit to Fit | Week 10

Author | Commit to Fit 2012 Winner, Karl Mason

I am surrounded by people who offer support and encouragement to me on a regular basis regarding my workout program and nutrition. I value and appreciate it all but I have begun to notice a couple of behavioral changes emerging from those around me.

It usually involves a few darting eyes or glances being exchanged as the others in my immediate circle look for confirmation that it was ok to ask if that food is ok to eat or if it would be appropriate for us to eat at a certain restaurant or eatery; and nine times out of ten involves me having to make a final decision on what and where to eat vs the group making the decision as a whole.

My Recent Trip to the Nutrition Store

Below DIAKADI Trainer and blog writer, Polina Smith, describes how people can easily be tricked into instant result fad products that promise fantastic figures and chiseled bodies in unrealistic ways. She then goes on to asks us a couple of important questions that are usually overlooked about food and our relationship with food. The questions being “why do we eat?” and “why do we eat WHAT we eat?”. When we look at those particular relationships we have with food we can begin to ask ourselves if we really need to eat that cookie, or are we just eating to feel good. Enjoy!

Featured DIAKADI Trainer | Will Thomas

Trainer Name | Will Thomas

Eleven years ago, no one could have imagined Will Thomas as a personal trainer. His pantry was filled with yellow cupcakes, potato chips and fruit punch. He hated exercising, and working out was never on the agenda. Overweight and feeling miserable, one day Will promised himself to spend the rest of his life giving his body the respect that it deserves. For the past ten years, he has changed his life and helped other people around him live healthier.

What If

Commit to Fit | Week 9

Author | Commit to Fit 2012 Winner, Karl Mason

It’s free and provides a viable alternative if ever needed. Thinking back on it and excluding last week, I have not utilized the work gym except one other time in almost 5 years.
