Awesome.

It is nice to see so many actually giving a crap about their bodies.....

As someone said, 75-80% of this is diet......You have a diet, you don't go on a diet. Working a truck and shift work do not lend to a healthly life style. But here are a few rules that I use...

1. Brown bag. By doing this, it saves a boat load of cash.

2. Go clean....Simply, try to take as much processed crap out of your diet as possible. Processed Gluten is responsible for inflammation to the intestines which has been linked as a precurser to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and the list goes on and on. Read for yourself.... http://robbwolf.com/

3. Work out. It really doesn't matter what you do, as long as you like what your doing. Many people rant and rave about the next best thing......Billy Blanks, Zumba, P 90-X, Insanity, the list goes on and on. I personnally Crossfit, but the important thing is to like what you do, and have a measureable and achievable goals......

I think taking control of your body is important in our field and our "Profession". Before returning to the Army full time, I was part of a group that got our Department Director to talk the hospital into paying for gym memberships.

Our hospital loves to save money, and Pre-hospital services has the worst payout in workmans comp...... But with a little research and some searching, we were able to find enough studies that proved that a little investment in fitness and diet counceling would save the hospital thousands, if not tens of thousands....
