[daytonadudenheimer]

how much actual stairclimbing are you encorporating into your training?

[runningraw]

@daytonadudenheimer I use a little stair climber machine at home 30 minutes to an hour a day. No actual stairs.

I am guilty of making those promises to myself to do more later to make up for lost time only to let myself down by not doing it.. Then the snow ball effect happens and shame, disappointment and guilt take over...but being realistic and setting smaller attainable goals will generate a sense of accomplishment and keep the momentum going... This was some really good advice!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

@fruitangel13 Sometimes going against the flow means going against your first instinct... Slowing down and thinking about things for a moment allows for some clarity and reason, and smaller steps become obvious.

Tim. your smoothies are what was missing in my raw life. I don't crave any cooked foods anymore. Thanks

[runningraw]

@rndmbrowser Smoothies are what keep me going on this diet. They haven't failed me yet!

[MsAfricanArt]

Awesome advice about taking small steps towards our goals. I've been on my raw food vegan journey for about a year now. I started off slow with just preparing kale salads for lunch every day, after about 4 months I started removing cheese and dairy from my diet, then I started with green smoothies. My journey has been filled with taking steps to reach the next level. Your absolutely right, change does not occur over night it takes time, its a journey.

[rndmbrowser]

That is the spirit. I feel motivated myself just by listening to you.

My german sympathies are with you Tim, you will pulverize the 11:00 minutes!

[maquis69]

Such a beautiful philosophy :)

[soulbasskenny]

Sorry Tim. I was one of the ones telling you to carb up to cure depression. Was only trying to give back to you bro. Sometimes I feel I take so much from you, just wanted and thought you needed help. I realize now that you don't.

As long as you're puttin up vids, I'll be takin from ya man. Thanks, they really help me in many ways. Rock-it brother ! ! !
