Marc Z Fitness and Nutrition

Now that we’re getting more settled into our new home and my disdain for the government and their poisoning of our bodies and minds continues to grow…

I’ve been back on a kick of taking better control of our food and making more things at home.

Today’s foray was homemade tortillas and I’m sure my Mexican ancestors are looking down in shame wondering why I haven’t done this before.

These are SOFA KING DELICIOUS and they were super easy to make😃

Gonna make em on the Blackstone next time to speed up the cooking process, but I HIGHLY recommend. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Check out the recipe and tag me if you give it a shot.

Making your own tortillas is definitely making good choices❗️

If I could go back and give Day One Marc a little advice, it would probably sound something like this…

You’re going to be way more sore and sweaty than you currently believe is reasonable😂

You’re also going to create an absolutely disrespectful amount of laundry.

There will be no magical finish line where you say,
“Welp, I have completed fitness.”
That is not how this works, my friend🤪

There will always be another workout.
Another goal.
Another level to reach.
Another pair of shorts that somehow smells terrible after only 45 minutes😬

But here’s the part that matters…

The discomfort from training is a hell of a lot better than the discomfort of diabetes, high blood pressure, poor mobility, and gasping for air after one flight of stairs.

One kind of discomfort builds you.

The other slowly takes things away.

So yes, it will be hard.
You will be sore.
You will question some of your life choices during leg day.

But it will UNEQUIVOCALLY be worth it.

Every rep.
Every drop of sweat.
Every load of laundry.

Keep going.

Your future self will be very glad you did.

Make Good Choices❗️

I think one of the most underestimated components of a healthy lifestyle is community.

We KNOW it matters, but it’s still often overlooked.

My friend and chiropractor Dr. Ashley McGaughey DC has a great community in her practice and is always preaching to her clients the importance of exercise. She refers people to me often, but few make the move.

So we planned a workout specifically for her crew, enticed them with mimosas…😬😂…and lo and behold, we had a great turnout!

She’s built a trust factor among her clients like I have with mine, so even though they knew the workout was going to be tough, they knew they’d be in good hands😉

I know I’m not a fit for everyone for a variety of reasons, but my gym IS the right place for those looking for long term change, consistent accountability, and a great community of people who will encourage and suffer with you!

A few of these awesome peeps will be starting with me soon, and Ashley and I will keep striving to lead more people down the path of better health.

Be like these awesome humans and make good choices❗️

Everyone who consistently works out has a why.

From health to kids to grandkids to upcoming events, there’s usually a reason people workout early in the morning, go after work when they’re already exhausted, and do things most people simply won’t do.

What’s my “WHY”? Well, glad you asked😉

My why is because one day I’m going to die.

And I’ll look back on my life and I’ll have to ask myself if I gave it my all.

If I really pushed my limits, got uncomfortable, and failed enough to succeed.

If I set the example for my kids, my clients, and anyone else paying attention.

If I said “”yes” because I could and not “no” because of fear.

My why is because I want to look back at a list of crazy shenanigans done with family and friends and know we are all better because of them.

THAT is my why.

What’s yours??

Six months.

That’s it.

Six months from now you’re going to meet a different version of yourself.

The question is…

Are you going to be proud of that person?

Because the choices you make today are building them.

The workout you don’t feel like doing, but you do anyway.
The protein you choose instead of the drive thru.
The walk you take instead of sitting on the couch.
The water you drink instead of your 3rd energy drink (you know who you are 🤣).
The bedtime you actually stick to instead of doom scrolling🤦🏽‍♂️

None of those choices feel life changing in the moment.

But neither does skipping them.

That’s how this works.

You don’t wake up one day magically out of shape, tired, stressed, and frustrated.

You slowly built that person.

And the good news?

You can build someone else.

Six months is coming either way.

Future you is watching.

Make Good Choices💪🏽
