Four years ago my wife and I decided it was time for a change - a time to start to take charge of our lives and the way we ate and lived. We were both overweight and going nowhere healthy in the direction of our lives.
I was drinking more, eating more and more - the weight climbing as each day passed. I struggled with my weight ever since I stopped being an athlete in my early twenties. I was never taught much about food - except to eat as much as I could. To get as big and powerful as I could to knock peoples heads off in football. When the playing days were over I was left with the same appetite - but way less working out. This affected everything in my life - my relationships with family, friends and anyone that came into my life.
After years of struggle and just needing a change, my wife and I decided it was enough and we needed a change. But I still didn't have my head all the way on about my weight or how I saw food. Be strong even when adversity comes into your life. The Runner's Guide to Staying Motivated. Two miles into your five-miler, you’re ready to call it quits. You’re tired, hungry, or just plain sick of it. Or maybe you’re still staring at your running shoes—debating whether or not you should lace up in the first place. We’ve all been there. But the key to being a true “runner” isn’t winning a marathon—it’s channeling your inner athlete and battling your sluggish thoughts.
You think: I’ve been training a lot and I’m really tired.Do this: Lie down, close your eyes and slowly count to 60. You think: I’ll never make it up that hill! You think: I hate running. You think: I have a lot of work today—I should stop early. Transform Your Body! Tokyo runner makes 13-mile Apple logo for Jobs | Crave. Steve Jobs' resignation as CEO of Apple has prompted emotional words from consumers, tech leaders , and journalists alike. For some, however, words can only say so much. Media producer Joseph Tame showed his appreciation in a more visual way, using two iPhones (plus his legs) to map the equivalent of a digital heart for Steve Jobs.
Tame, a marathon runner from Tokyo, ran 13 miles in 2 hours, with a specific route in mind: the Apple logo. Using the Runkeeper app to track his path through the center of Toyko, Tame's iPhone automatically drew the Apple logo here. The route starts out near the Imperial Palace, goes through Roppongi, and weaves around Shinjuku to Kagurazaka. The "bite" in the apple curves around the Imperial Palace, which is the main residence of the emperor (and might be the most expensive square kilometer in the world).
Upon closer examination of Tame's running path, it appears he is running through buildings (we're assuming that's his tracing software's fault).
