Men Make Plans and God Laughs!

So I have had some interesting things happen to me in the past few months. The end of April I moved unexpectedly and ended up some place I hadn't thought I would ever live. I started classes at a different university than I had planned on, got a wonderful job, started my own business and will be moving again the beginning of August. So here I am! Amazingly enough I am doing much better than I was a few months ago and that makes me very happy.

The new business thing...

I am an independent fitness coach for Beachbody.com. I have tried their products and am amazed with the results I got! So I decided I wanted to help other people meet their fitness and weight loss goals. I have lost 20 pounds so far and am continuing to lose more. But most importantly, I FEEL GOOD! For the first time in a long time, I feel healthy and I am getting control over my body. I was so tired of not being able to do things because I was out of shape or because of old injuries. We each have one body, that's it! There are no trade-ins and no matter how much cosmetic or reconstructive surgery you do, you have to take care of your body. And there is no magic pill that will get you off the couch and outside. We don't get to push a button on a remote control and instantly become thin. Or do we?

With Beachbody's programs, you turn your living room, bedroom, office or anywhere you have a DVD player and a monitor into your own personal gym. Plus, you don't have to worry about sweating around other people or paying monthly for something you end up not using. All you have to do is decide that you are worth the price! YOU are worth the time and effort it takes to say everyday, "I am going to push PLAY!" That's it! So in a way you can push a button and over time see a transformation in yourself.

30 - 60 minutes a day, 5 times a week! That is 2.5 - 5 hours of your time every week spent on YOU! When you think about it, how much time do you spend on other people? Let's do some math! The average work week is 40 hours, sleep takes up between 42-56 hours, running errands, around 10 hours, housework/playing with the family 30. That totals to 122-136 hours every week. Not to mention time spent at church, PTA, etc. Now, there are precisely 168 hours every week. That means there is an excess of around 46 hours every week that you could choose from when you could be making yourself a priority. What do you do with your time? That is about 2 days of hours possibly unaccounted for. An average 30 minute sit-com on TV runs for 18-20 minutes without commercials. That is 30 minutes you could be changing your life and playing the Million Dollar Body Game with Beachbody! Plus, with this new thing called a DVR, or an old thing called a VCR, you can record the show you missed, skip the commercials and get an extra 10 minutes!

This is totally doable! Make the decision today to make you the number one priority in your life. No one else is going to take care of you. If you are not taking care of yourself, how can you help those around you? As a wise woman, Patricia Holland, recounts in one of her books, "You need to take care of you, so that you can take care of everyone else you are responsible to." (paraphrased, A Quiet Heart) You can do this and I want to help!
