Tropical Strawberry Shakeology Recipe: Fruity Colada

By

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I miss out on special moments with my family because I’m too busy trying to document said moments… be it with a video or a picture or a _______. Just last night, I caught myself wanting to pull out my phone to try to compose the perfect, precious shot of Silas, my almost 2-year-old, squatting down like almost 2-year-olds do, getting eye level with the some ducks as he talked to them with a “quack, quack” of his own.

Our fitness can be the same way. We get so caught up in focusing on the results and our goals that we don’t take time to actually enjoy the moment… the moment of running in a cool morning under a gorgeous sunrise, the delicious moment of a fresh salad made from farm-tended vegetables grown under that same gorgeous sun, or even the ridiculousness of being on your forearms and knees, sweaty forehead on the mat as you pant sheer exhaustion. These are the benefits of outdoor exercise, the tastiness of healthful eating, and the victories of working crazy hard. Slow down and take in what you’re doing. Fitness is a lifestyle… not a destination… don’t take the moments for granted.

Quack quack.

I was in a rough spot with my nutrition and my training was suffering. I reached out to Matthew for some advice hoping he would guide in the right direction. He told me about an accountability group he would facilitate. I accepted the invitation and never looked back. The nutrition plan was very good (tasteful) and being accountable to fitness was great… The people I took this journey with were fantastic and so encouraging. It was exactly what I needed at the time. Thank you Matthew for the experience and believing in me…
