It's All About You.

While lifting heavy stuff off the ground (power cleans) and throwing myself on the floor with the sole intent of getting up as quickly as possible to then jump over a 20 inch box (burpee box jumps) I had a thought.   Conventional Wisdom Sucks! 

For anyone that has heard the comments that you are not supposed to lift weight that heavy.  Or eating like that is cannot be healthy for you.  Or that spending money on eating locally, from a responsible and sustainable farm, and organically is a weird.  I am here to stand up and say that this is happiness and health for me.  I like being strong and lifting heavy weights.  I am proud that I power cleaned 85lbs 5 times tonight.  I enjoy going to farmers' markets and knowing where my food comes from and that I am eating meat that is humanly raised, along with veggies and fruit that are not genetically modified with ridiculous crap.  Who in the world wants to eat a tomato that has fish DNA in it?  There are many people that follow Conventional Wisdom and do not understand.  Don't waste your energy on these people in your life.  It is exhausting.  If someone cares for you, they don't have to understand it, just support your decisions.

My life has become richer and fuller.  I am stronger than ever.  I have never enjoyed my food like I do now.  I am currently taking in ZERO medications for my allergies that in the past have rendered me helpless without them, but then had side effects to deal with.  This is living folks!  

Conventional Wisdom would be telling me that none of this is possible.  I am saying that all of these things work for me.  No judgement.  Do what is best for you!  Stay positive!  And  B.E. Happy!
