Where did the week go?
I usually work on a short article to post every Sunday in regards to fitness, nutrition, or maybe just simply the importance of taking a break from training and spending some valuable family time. Today I was at work about to leave and come home when I realized holy s*** it is already Sunday again! I had lost all track of time this week. Which brings me to my next point. There are some of us out there that have some crazy work schedules. For example, I work seven days a week for 29 days straight with a small break in between those crazy months. It is so easy to lose yourself in your routine you forget about everything else that is important to you. It seems like I get up at 4 in the morning and come home about 5 that evening, eat dinner, get a good workout in, post the workout on here, and go to bed. That is basically my life 7 to 8 months out of the year. We cannot forget to slow down and force ourselves to enjoys those things we love most. Let's face it, why do we work in the first place? That is an easy answer so we can make money to pay our bills, buy our groceries, and be able to enjoy our lives. So if we let work consume our lives totally where does that leave the enjoyment part of life? It is not fair to those closest to us if we never take time to show them we are still human and love to be around them. In my oppinion that is why we have a Sunday. Take some time this evening and spend some time with those that you care about the most. Do your best to not think about what has to get done tomorrow and only think about how nice it is to relax and enjoy that part of your life which is not consumed by work. I wish everyone a great upcoming week!

Taking It Easy!
I want to start by apologizing for not posting a Daily Challenge yesterday. It turned out to be a crazy day to include working all day, hosting the Saturday HITFIT session, and trying to spend a little quality time with the loved ones somewhere in the middle of all that.
Now here we are and it is Sunday again already! Sometimes I ask myself where do the days go? It is amazing how we get caught up in this crazy thing called life. There are weeks where I feel like I wake up Monday go to work and come home and it is Sunday again. It all turns into one big blur! It seems as if everyday I work harder and harder to ensure that I can relax later on when everything is complete. The catch is I end up working harder and harder to accomplish the goal, but never reach it. I never run out of things to do! I bring some of that on myself by always starting new projects on the house or trying to start a fitness program while working 100 hours a week! I'm sure there are plenty of you out there that feel the same way and that is why here at HITFIT we are firm believers in doing everything that we possible can to ensure Sunday is set aside to resting, relaxing, family, and friends. If your career forces you to work on Sunday then do your best to set aside your own day of the week for the weekly movie or game night with the family. Remember, your career will end one day and your friends will come and go, but family will always be there. You don't want to push those who support you away by supporting others who are going to go away anyway! You can sum it all up with one word "prioritize". As long as you have your priorities correct in life it should be an enjoyable one.
In closing sometime today tell the ones closest to you that you love them or maybe call a relative you have spoken to in awhile do to your busy schedule and let them know you are thinking about them. Most importantly relax and prepare for another strenuous week!
