Its now been 2 weeks since I started my journey. I have lost about 10 fat pounds and am on my way to my goal of 176 pounds. I believe though that I may not get all the way down to that weight as I am building muscles and burning off fat.For those of you that may not know,muscle weighs more than fat so it can change your ideal weight goal. Some people get discouraged when they don't see the weight coming off right away, Don't! Keep working out and eating right by following your meal planner that is included with a Fit Club membership. This is a vital tool to keep you on track with your goals. Having a membership with Fit Club is really like having a group of friends around you all the time to keep you on track to achieve success. I started Shakeology also and do recognize a difference in my energy level and seem to have even more intense workouts and am able to push myself for better results. Also I just don't feel bloated and sluggish anymore, its a great feeling! I have not had any problem getting up and working out and have been working out at least once a day six days a week. I have ordered the Insanity Workouts and they should be arriving shortly. I can't wait to start them. Its gonna be a great test as to what my fitness level is at currently. I feel like I am doing pretty well, but the workouts just look, well, INSANE. But I am determined to earn my T-shirt and also share my story and hopefully win a Beach Body Challenge prize. Determination is the key here as well.
As for my financial fitness I have shared the programs with 18 different people. I have had 382 hits at my website for Beach Body and for just starting out I feel pretty darn good. I have made some commissions and I need to have one more coach to make Emerald status and will be able to accept leads directly from the popular infomercials. This will significantly help me with my business plus help also keep me motivated. Seems like every day I get at least two people that want to help "end the trend" of obesity. I have met some of the most wonderful people from all over the country since I started this business. I can really see now that as long as I keep at it and stay focused that the word will be out and I will be able to have so many more opportunities to help others meet their goals. Don't get me wrong it is not all happy days and I don't have my share of doubts whether I can do it. But I am determined, I have a great Team of people to help me out and I have 4 kids here at home that will be the beneficiary's of my hard work if I just stay determined. Some of you may be wondering why I keep writing that word DETERMINED. Well by being determined in anything you do makes up for some of the things you may lack or may not have mastered yet. Many people believe that knowledge is power, that's true to a point. How many people have you known that are very smart but they still have a lack luster job and make just enough to get by on. Most of the time these people simply don't have the determination or mind set to "want" to be successful. They work at their jobs knowing they can do much better and whine and complain as to the inabilities of management and how they could do so much better than they could, but they never even try to get that job. Because they continually talk themselves out of it, they make all sorts of excuses as to why, but have you ever seen them really try, and nevr give up trying? Do you think if they would just keep trying that they would fail every time? I believe thoroughly that if you keep trying and never give up and staying determined without fail there is no way you can lose! Look at the successful people you know. Do they constantly complain about what they don't have or do they focus on what they want and go get it!? Take for instance the Pro Basketball player Spud Webb. He was 5'8 or something like that and dunked on 7 foot monsters. Do you think people ever told him he would never go pro or be successful? Michael Jordan was cut from the team in High School. What would have happened if he believed he was not good enough? Determination and not giving in to negative thoughts will make you successful in anything you decide to do. Its all your choice make no excuses. People power through disabilities and tragedies every day.How you deal with those problems is what decides the outcome. So if you really want to be successful decide like I have to be determined to do whatever it takes to make your dreams come true.
This is the approach I have decided to use for my journey, determination, faith and support is going to get me through to being successful in this business and my life. I have chosen different in the past and I believe that God has put me on this path and has shown me by his teachings in the Bible that he can do only so much. It's up to me to make the decision every day to be determined to get the most out of life and not just survive or get by. How can I help others when I'm worried constantly about my own security and that of my families. I will stay determined and I know that things will eventually change for me. I know that Job had unrelenting determination and look what he went through! David became a famed King because he was not afraid to take on a giant with only a sling and a stone. Paul while in prison remained determined and became a great man to all his people although he suffered greatly, but determination and faith in God got him through. I know I can do the same so should you.
