1/2 Way To 30 Days!
November 11, 2010 11:04 AM

Good morning!? Yes, it is. A day of celebration for me here at the homestead. I'm 1/2 way to my first 30 days with Beach Body! I've met with my coach & we're coming up with some exciting ideas to grow our biz. Stay tuned. (I'm supposed to be doing my homework now but words keep popping into my head, begging to be let out to jump onto the page) I connected with my upline upline coach Dave Hunt who seems to think my blog posts are spunky (I like that :-) & several other BBers I met at the Craig Holiday event, referrrals from Richard & random requests. All good people.
My last blog entry was about the new hole in my belt. That was so significant that I've been speechless since then. (shut up, everyone who knows me :-/) There are many postings by other BBers saying, "If I can do it, you can too!" It's true. The neatest thing about BBers is that they're all so friendly, encouraging & accepting. If you decide to join us here in this wonderful enterprise, you'll find countless other people just like you who are looking to improve their time here on this lovely planet. With better nutrition, fitness, wellness & energy you'll find that your days are much more pleasant than when you slogged through your days waiting to greet your pillow. Generally it's an hour or less out of your life everyday that gives you exponential benefits. If you can't keep up with the workout hosts, no biggie...they'll inspire you to do WHAT YOU CAN DO & keep coming back to try harder next time. You can do it! And you'll be happy you did. We BBers are all ages, shapes, sizes but what we ALL share is a desire to make life better physically, mentally & financially for those we care about.
Ok, going to do my homework now..

Belt:
It's on the last hole. Thank goodness I have a leather punch to add another. I'm cursed with a body that gains & loses weight proportionately. Result, few can tell there's been a change. Well, I see my body every hour I'm awake so I can see results. That's what really matters here. That & helping others realize those changes in themselves. On that note, I need to buckle down...get it?...on my business.

Last night I heard Craig Holiday 's presentation to the NOVA contingent. Thanks to Chris Batu. And thanks to my coach Richard Harrison who steered me to this event. What came through mostly for me was not Craig's successes with his various biz associations but his passion for helping others. I can relate. So me.
Back to MO's day 13. Still on track fitness-wise. Biz-wise I'm still working. Reaching out...
Working on getting my push-ups lower. Oh man, that's difficult. Hurts.
Tomorrow is 2 weeks...Nobody's more thrilled than I!

Nutrition has become an issue for me now more than ever before except when I was pregnant. That pot of potato leek soup I made on Wednesday became potato leek turkey bacon soup. I was feeling low on protein despite enjoying Shakeology most days. This morning's Burn Intervals taxed me more than I liked. My body was craving protein. After a bowl of that tummy-tickling soup I feel great again. So what am I going to do with this renewed sense of wellness? Work on biz cards & those stickers I mentioned yesterday, but not until I do soome yardwork on this beautiful Fall day. If you're looking for a fun way to spend a spare hour (unless you're already in Super Gym), come on by! I have an extra rake & broom. You can use the broom I don't ride on ;-)

So, here I am at day ? I've lost track of time and that's usually a good thing for me. You guys go ahead & calculate my numbers if you want. This AM at TNT the news was very good. Since our last weigh-in/body fat check 6 weeks ago I've lost 6 lbs & 1% body fat! I attribute 3 lbs at least to ChaLean & Shakeology. The body fat loss I think is prob 50/50 TNT & Beach Body. My TNT Coach Chris works me so hard cuz he knows I want it. Today was a day of increased weights & I could. If I can, you can. Besides it's FUN!

My next thing is to get biz cards to pass out at any moment's notice & stickers to attach to those handy Shakeology pouches as my main marketing tool. (This morning was a lifesaver green shake w/pineapple tidbits. If I hadn't done that I woulda died. At least it felt that way) I haven't had any 'wow' moments yet as far as friends/colleagues noticing any difference. My problem is that I gain/lose weight proportionately so the changes aren't obvious. A blessing to some extent but eventually, not so much. Gotta get ripped like my cuz Evodna beachbodycoach.com/espringer
Where to go from here? Well, I'm kinda hungry so I'll be going to the kitchen. Recently got an email from Richard's upline Dave Hunt. NEAT! Thanks Dave!
Ok, going to live the rest of my day fully present. Try it, you might like it :-)

The Journey Has Begun
October 28, 2010 12:16 PM

So, this is Day 3 already! C'mon, don't laugh! I know there are still 27 days left in my first transformation month but heck, I need to encourage myself because who can do that better than moi? I decided to start out with ChaLean partly because it seemed geared more toward women than P90X. Don't know if that's intentional. Anyhow, the 5 workouts I've completed in these first 3 days are just perfect for me. I'm a bit clumsy when the movements switch really fast. Practice practice practice, eh? Yesterday especially, I cracked myself up big time when arms & legs were supposed to be doing something 'abnormal'. <------at least for me at this stage. One thing I really like about this program is that Chalene gives tips for neophytes, not just technique-wise but how much weight to use, correct body mechanics, tips to avoid injury & the like. I already know a lot of stuff of that nature since I've been in a weight-training class at the Y for 5 years but it's helpful to have those reminders. I have yet to take measurements & take pix. Am I embarrassed? Yes, to do them & that I haven't done them. Maybe tomorrow...

Until then, I'm off to the rest of this beautiful day feeling strong, healthy & FIT. Have a good one y'all!

RichardHarrison I'm liking this. Maybe you could ghost my blog for me? And get those pics done girl! Don't think about what they look like now; think about what they'r going to look like in 30-60-90 days. Ninety days from now you're going to be pleased about how "embarrassing" those Day One pics were.
