Kim's Fitness and Nutrition

Many times during my career, I have heard people say this, or ask me if that is possible. Turning fat into muscle is as likely as turning silver into gold ... it's not going to happen. This is, however, a very good question, because in understanding how your body works, you are then clear and much more aware of what you can achieve. Your body is one of God's most amazing creations ... unsurpassed. This apparatus that you reside within is literally a universe unto itself. The thousands of physiological processes that occur within just one day's time, without your conscious awareness, is enough to blow anyone's mind, if studied. Our bodies are remarkable in their capacity to deal with all the bacteria, viruses, pollutions, electronic pollution, nasty, very low-quality foods we choose to subject it to, and in some cases, alcohol and drugs, not to mention the sleep deprivation (the only time the body has any chance to rest and regenerate itself), and yet, by golly, it keeps on tickin'.

It can be very challenging to us humans to remember that we are not merely flesh and bone. In fact, we are so much more than that. The part of us that is our essence ... that is eternal, and is always aware of who we really are, even when we are behaving far, far from what that actually is. That part is incomprehensibly huge. Our Source Energy, our spirit, our soul, or whatever you choose to call it, is a small piece of that which created the Universe, created all the multitudes of Universe, and continues to expand through you. Please allow me to help you remember who you are.

You can start right now, in this red-hot minute, to change aspects of yourself or your life that do not please you. You have the most essential tools necessary, and they are divinely given ... you arrived with them and there is nothing and no one who can take these tools from you. The only person who can thwart your capacities is YOU!! We are all vibrational beings, first and foremost. We interpret the world through sound, sight, touch, smell, taste, and how it vibrates, and we are in constant communication with "ALL THAT IS" through our emitting a personal beacon. How?? Through our thoughts and what we place our attention on.

I can't tell you how many people I talk to who are still choosing to skip breakfast. If you are one of those people who wakes up with zero appetite, or who kills their appetite by downing a pot of coffee or several Mountain Dews, then you are moving through 1/3 of your day functioning in a metabolism that is stuck in low, low gear. That translates into a reduced amount of calories being consumed by your body. For most of us, keeping our weight in check is an ongoing process, and the more calories we can cause our bodies to burn, the better. This one simple thing could make all the difference in maintaining your healthy weight.

Recently, I read an article that spoke of the difficulties of simply getting to the gym. Once there, "no problem," but the actual getting there is tough. I have addressed this issue many times over the course of my career, and I can honestly tell you that it is never an easy fix. We are creatures of habit through and through, and to a degree, the old saying "old habits die hard," is not far from the truth.
