It's Go Time!!

This marked the first week of the new school year, and while I wasn’t truly looking forward to school I’m glad it is here.  Glad because it has forced me to look at where I am at this moment.  I have discovered something that doesn’t make me entirely happy.

I was comfortable over the summer.  I relaxed, enjoyed my family time, focused on our Beachbody business, and life was good.  Good in a VERY relaxed, lackadaisical sort of way.   Now in retrospect I should have approached my summer a bit differently.  Instead of seeing it as strictly a “vacation” I should have seen it as an “off season”. 

When professional athletes are not competing they don’t just stop whatever they are doing and begin eating Krispy Kremes for every meal.  They continue their conditioning and their nutrition so that when game time arrives or training camp begins they are in shape so that they can perform to their highest level.  Why wasn’t I in that same mindset?  Can you tell I’m in football mode now? LOL.

 Anyway, I’m not saying that I’m an athlete by any stretch of the imagination, but I do want my body to continue to function at the level that I have  grown to like.  It didn’t get that way by eating a bag of coconut M&M’s everyday or just going through the motions of my workouts.  I did it by committing to myself...committing to changing my habits to include regular strenuous exercise (P90X) and healthy nutrition.  That is exactly what I am doing again. I just finished a 3 day Shakeology jumpstart, losing 7 lbs and most of my cravings.  I am following my schedule, I’m tracking my food intake, and I’m being disciplined in every aspect of my Beachbody experience..whether that be coaching, training, or in my daily accountability.  Please join me in this quest to be consistent and healthy not just for myself but also for my entire family.  That is the reason we started and that is the reason I continue.
