Sanders Optimum Boot Camp (Day 8)
Alright y'all. I felt GOOD today. I mean I felt ON this morning at 5:30 am. Perhaps it was the 7 hours of sleep. Maybe it was water I drank beforehand. Most likely it was the dinner I ate the night before. Whatever it was I was ready.  Now I am not saying I was pleased with the 1 mile jog warm up under 7.5 minutes! Or saying I was ...

Sanders Optimum Boot Camp (Day 7)
It wasn't a good day y'all. I mean the workout was good. Monte did what he was supposed to do but the morning started off rocky. For one, I did not get a good night's sleep after going to bed after 11 pm because someone next to me was sawing logs. I mean it woke me up in the middle of the night to the point I had to sleep with the pillow ...

This can't be stressed enough, our muscles grow while we sleep. All of the hard work performed to tear, lift and go heavy really goes to work as our bodies rest and rejuvenate. That happens when we sleep. short-changing your necessary hours of quiet rest is doing a disservice to you, your body and frame of mind. Sleep is not for the ...
Process of Elimination
I'm not going to front - I have never had a known problem with constipation except for the birth of my son 5 years ago. Â At that time the hospital had to provide me a stool softener to get things moving and even then it didn't work that well. Â I drank Smooth Move Tea and e'erthang still no success. Â At my 6 week appointment....
