I'm a 44-year old mom of 2 boys that are 10 & 7. I built my business while working full time and have my own business with Beachbody...a company that changed my life for the best. I love to point out the obvious. People amuse and amaze me. I have a cape and tights that I typically misplace but I'll leap from the tall building anyway, and figure it out on my way down. The joy in life is the journey.
Today’s Tangent: The point of doing Body Beast is to add mass. I am adding the mass but the weight around my mid section is starting to be a struggle. I get in my head and self-sabotage.
Which leads me to my point of today:
“Don’t sacrifice for what you want the most for what you want at the moment”.
Point Being: Last night, we went out mainly because we had not gone out for a while. We ate and drank things that we normally do not. Now-today…I am miserable. I sacrificed my goals of being productive this weekend as well as slimming my waist for going out last night
Getting healthy does not need to be expensive. Do you have a gaming system that has an activity game? Can you take a walk or take a light jog.
Repeat after me: Don’t let money stand between you and a better version of you.
There are lots of options out there that are little to no cost.
You can get creative and still start on your journey of getting healthy.
If you are at the point where you can invest in a Beachbody Workout-then do it! Don’t let excuses or procrastination be the reason you don’t start working out!
Did you eat like crap for dinner last night? Get over it. That one meal does not mean that you’re destined for a terrible life. Shake it off and get back in the game. Eat better the next time. You’ve got this!!!!!! A bad food choice isn’t a death sentence–as long as you do it periodically and from time-to-time. If you make those choices regularly (drive thru when you’re out of time, processed frozen meals for the bulk of your meals, dining out without tweaking the menu, candy, sugar, soda pop/Coke/pop, and the like done regularly over time will absolutely negatively impact your life. So–don’t do it. Make better choices when you can. Eat a healthy snack a couple of hours after a bad meal. You can do this!!!
Do you need help? Let me know. That’s why I’m here.
I recorded this before I heard from my friend Vince. Sadly, Vince reported the following, “A year ago I hesitated to reach out to an old fraternity brother from college. I saw a picture of him after his daughter was born exactly a year ago last week. He was very overweight and obviously needed help. I didn’t reach out. I didn’t reach out.
How tough would it have been to send him a message, an invite, a video link, a text, anything. I didn’t reach out. I’m so sorry I didn’t reach out. Maybe his little girl would have a daddy to take her to school on her first day if I would have reached out. Rest in peace brother Kirk. I should have reached out. 🙁 ”
Many of us are searching for “something.” If I can help you with your “something” please allow me the honor to do so. I do not want you to live a life of regret wishing you’d made other choices and I don’t want to live a life of regret wishing I had reached out to you.
Consider this your reach out. Consider this your invitation to allow me to work with you. I would be honored to help you on your journey and get you on a path filled with satisfaction and eager expectation rather than remorse and regret.
I can’t believe it! I had a question re: the nutrition and could NOT find an answer. Out of desperation, I emailed Sagi Kalev, creator and master mind behind Body Beast. He answered me within minutes!!! When I told him how much I appreciated his time, he told me that every single one of us matters.
What a great guy!!!!! No ego there…just a willing spirit. What a blessing!
And, to top it all off, I’m going to see him in Alpena, Michigan for the Super Saturday event on 9/29 and I GET A HUG! WOOT!!! The Things are going with us that weekend and are so excited to go to a Beachbody party AND meet Sagi.
Today is Body Beast Cardio and Abs…love the cardio but abs I could do without. Sticking with the calendar though 🙂
For the last year, I have been able to maintain a size 2. I’ve learned to be comfortable with this size but the first 2 phases of Body Beast has changed that a little. You are adding mass which means I have to pull out the Big Girl Clothes.
Going from a size 2 to size 6 gets to you…I don’t care who you are-everyone has body issues. It has gotten in my head. I don’t like how I feel in my professional clothes. It effects my relationship with my kids as well as with my boyfriend.
I get it…this is why I am sharing this. we all go through our own head games where there is a struggle with body image-no matter what size you are.
Important point: We all need to avoid judging each other.
