Simplify Your Space (and Your Life)

-
My #QuarantineCleaningSpree continues, not in a neurotic - "I'm going to go crazy if I don't find something to do" way, but rather in an intentional - "What is important to me and what do I need in my life" kind of way.

 I've always been moved by the peacefulness of minimal design spaces.  

And I've never been able to live like that cause I've just got too much stuff I "need".   As I'm discovering the "need" isn't really about the "having of stuff" - that it's just been striving after things as evidence of being "successful" or "accepted", it becomes easier to let go of the things that do not truly contribute to my joy. 

 The bedroom is half done now - and while I didn't take a "before picture" of the mounds of stuff that used to reside on the top of the dressers / night stand, it was a sight to behold. 


This weekend, the closets are on deck.  We have two giant closets in our room.  One is FULL of my "stuff"... Leo uses half of the other one, with the other half housing a collection of rarely worn offseason coats and suitcases.  The real question now is ... if I get rid of all the stuff that doesn't fit, is over-worn, or doesn't really contribute to my life... how much closet space do I really need?






 I'm also falling in love with the concept of the #CapsuleWardrobe.  If I bring intentionality to my clothing purchase - rather than pure emotion (or for say the purposes of soothing other emotions), I could live comfortably in 4 - 6 shirts, rather than 56.  Especially with my transition into the fitness space, the demand for anything in this closet has dramatically decreased! 

 After pictures to follow on the weekend! Stay safe and productively occupied Warriors!

Muscle Monday - Deltoid

-
#MuscleMonday - Deltoid The Deltoid muscle is what give our shoulders that amazing rounded shape.   There are 3 heads (parts) to this larger triangular shaped muscle.   The muscle wraps around your shoulder joint and each head of the muscle produces a different movement of the shoulder joint. The Anterior (front) head originates   from the lateral third of the front of the Clavicle. The Lateral (middle) head originates from the Acromion of the Scapula.   The Posterior (rear) head originates from the Spine of the Scapula. All 3 heads come together and insert mid-way along the Humerus (the upper arm bone). Your deltoid works to prevent partial and full dislocation of the head of the humerus from the shoulder joint - especially when carrying a load.   All heads of the deltoid work together to cause shoulder abduction.   Additionally,   - the Anterior (front) muscle fibres work to flex, abduct, medially rotate, and horizo...

New Year - Same You

  It's time for my New Year's Resolution Rant - buckle up - truth is what trainers and coaches deliver! I'm not posting a whole "New Year - New You" series - or checking in on Resolutions. I'm not diminishing having goals - in fact - goals are critical - and they have to be backed up with NEW Actions. The hard truth is - you are the same person today that you were on Friday. January 1st was in fact just a Saturday. Nothing happened with the arrival 2022 that magically transformed your nutrition, weight loss, smoking, exercise, or relationship patterns. So while the beginning of a new calendar year provides and opportunity to reflect on the year that is completing, examining what worked and didn't work, and creating goals for the year that lies ahead, all of that work will fall flat if you haven't created NEW ACTIONS to take to fulfil on your goals. NEW actions refer to things you haven't done before - to generate results you haven't genera...

Whey and Casein Protein Primer

-
Whey and Casein Protein Primer Source (extracted from): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3905294/ Whey Whey is a general term that typically denotes the translucent liquid part of milk that remains following the process (coagulation and curd removal) of cheese manufacturing. From this liquid, whey proteins are separated and purified using various techniques yielding different concentrations of whey proteins. Whey is one of the two major protein groups of bovine milk, accounting for 20% of the milk while casein accounts for the remainder. All of the constituents of whey protein provide high levels of the essential and branched chain amino acids. The bioactivities of these proteins possess many beneficial properties as well. Additionally, whey is also rich in vitamins and minerals. Whey protein is most recognized for its applicability in sports nutrition. Additionally, whey products are also evident in baked goods, salad dressings, emulsifiers, infant formulas, and med...
