On today's blog, I thought I would write about something a little bit different than usual.
As some of you know I have been on a new diet and exercise regimen, trying to lose weight. I've come a long way from that time when I used to be fit and active in sports and exercise. A lot has happened in my life since then that has made me become more reserved and cautious about life in general, and in doing so, became very sedentary. I had stopped exercising and being active, to just being content to stay home and do nothing. A lot of that had to do with the death of my dad. I stayed cooped up in my house because everything that meant a lot to me didn't seem as interesting any more. I finally woke up and realized that life was passing me by. I had gained so much weight and made so many poor choices in my life that I felt stuck. Until I came across this book (48 Days to the work you love), and it opened up a way of thinking that I hadn't had since I was younger. Even though It's taking me longer than 48 days, I believe I'm on the right track in my life. Not only am I getting back on track "career" wise, but I've also decided it was time to get back into shape. It seems to be a bit harder to do this time around. It's much easier just to pop a pill in your mouth and watch the pounds come off, but that didn't happen. I was always hoping someone would find the magic solution to weight loss without any consequences. It's funny how a life threatening event in your life will cause someone to take action. For me, it was chest pains and border line high cholesterol and hypertension. I've seen how others are dependent on pills for all kinds of ailments, and I didn't want that for myself. So I was up one night and I saw this infomercial about this new exercise routine p90x on DVD. I ordered it thinking, "Ok, this is a start, I'm really going to do it this time." I've ordered other exercise programs in the past, but with no success. "I'm going to change my life by getting in shape first" I thought. But I was struggling with it and I quit. Then I met someone on social media who saw that I had an interest in getting fit and we started talking. I told him I was struggling to workout so he suggested I try Shakeology to give me a boost in energy and better mood. "I can do that", I thought. "It's a money back guarantee." "What do I have to lose?" So I ordered it and I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted really good! Pretty soon, I found myself cutting back on a lot of the snacks and carbohydrates that I was eating before. I kept on drinking Shakeology and I just felt better! I had more energy and mental clarity. And my mood was uplifted. I wasn't grumpy all the time. I'm also eating organically healthy. I have lost 30 lbs and am feeling very good about my future. Everyone's talking about change you can believe in, well, I believe in this change I'm experiencing. This year I'm going to change my life. Even If I have to go it alone, I HAVE TO get in shape!" No more wishing. No more Hoping. This is my top priority! Since January of 2013 I got out of my comfort zone and entered the Beachbody Challenge and my workouts consist of doing Les Mills Combat at least 5 times a week and drinking Shakeology every single day and I love IT! I still have a ways to go, and I still struggle at times, but now instead of quitting, I look at why I failed, learn from it and move forward. You know, there's a saying that goes, "Without change, nothing changes." I have been learning and enjoying the process of changing myself not only physically, but mentally as well. It starts with that choice to want a better life for yourself. For me, it was time to stop talking about it and take action. If you feel like your stuck in life as well, I'd like to hear from you. If you need an accountability partner in your fitness, I will be that person! I have been there, and I would like to help you. But you must want that change first. Are you ready for a change?
