“Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.” - Mary Anne Radmacher
If there is more proof that someone needs that Jo Dumont Fitness Training is more than just a gym, then you need to come to "Nutrition and Motivation Class." (http://www.jodumontfitnesstraining.com/5115.html)
I hadn't actually intended to go to this class, but I really had nothing going on so I stuck around after Hard Core and sat with Jo and 4 other women and talked about motivation and nutrition. It started with calculating the percentage of body fat, and then converted that to how many pounds of body fat and how many pounds of muscle and bone we carry around. In addition, we talked about the food in our cupboards and the importance of eating clean.
What really struck a chord with me, however, was the concept of "Living With Intent". The idea that whatever you put in your mouth is because you intend to put it there, what you do to your body is because you intend it to. Avoiding MacDonalds because it's the impulsive stop on the way home and easier than making dinner, but planning and deciding to go to MacDonalds is living with intent. I'm just not sure that I ever actually want to intend or impulsively go there anymore.
I am so glad that I had the opportunity to spend time with this group of strong and beautiful women who intend to change their lives.
We really do need to meet up at the gym sometime... reading your blog makes me think that we would, quite possible, get along quite well.
ReplyDeleteI went to Monday's version of the nutrition & motivation seminar and the biggest thing I took out of the first class was the phrase - "live with intention." It will be at the top of page 1 of my journal for the class.
I just read what you wrote on Facebook and I'm so proud of you! I hope I can say the same thing in 3 months!
