Updating your Resume....

Hi All!! Most of us, when entering the job market have to put together a resume, listing all our vital history as it applies to work and our experiences with it.  Looking at mine, its interesting what different jobs ive held in the past 20 plus years, all of them combining to make the "experienced guy" thats typing to you now.

But what about the rest? Our jobs, with some exceptions are only a part of what makes up our life experience.  How helpful would it be to have a resume for the other histories in our lives? Id like to concentrate (unsurprisingly) on fitness and eating.

Wed all start hopefully as happy healthy kids, running , jumping riding our bikes or boards til we were called in at night, eating what our families fed us. As we got older, high school had gym class (insert joke here), after school sports and the nutritionally exempt school lunches. I still remember the fake cheese and ragu pizza squares.......

Now as adults, what does your resume show? Are you active? What brand of "food" are you shoving down your gullet?  Try this, for the next week, write down what you eat and drink, and also what kind and how much exercise you do. Id love to read what you write down, but the real question is, would you? And are you shoving a Twinkie in your mouth as you do? Is this resume something you'd be proud to show your friends and family, or something that you'd rather line your birdcage with?

If you do this little bit of homework, and you arent happy at the end, thats great! That means that you arent happy with your life now and might be ready to do something about it. Profound differences are started with a little step in the right direction.  Take your resume, and start to change it for the better and watch as your life does the same.........

Exercise tip of the week.- If you are starting from scratch, try walking! All over the world, people walk a whole lot more daily than folks in this country do in a week. Try 30 minutes a day, even if you have to break it up into 10 minute intervals. Get outside, get some air into the lungs. Better yet get someone to go with you. Having someone to participate with gives you another reason to stick with it.

Shameless self promotion of the week- I want to be your trainer! I love working with clients of all experience and fitness level. And im more than happy to come to you! Able to work around your schedule also, Contact me at 347-720-9747, or at fitmedic68@yahoo.com. Have an amzing week everyone.
