Time to set goals and take action

November 28th 2011
So here we are. About 30 days remaining in 2011. Did you accomplish some or all of the 2011 goals you set? Did you even set goals? Some people know the old me. They know the Heather that was 40 to 50 pounds overweight. They know the Heather that would get sick several times a year, lie in bed all day on a Sunday and do absolutely nothing. The Heather that rarely set goals. That Heather had all the time in the world to attend parties and travel but she didn’t because she was unhappy, overweight, Continue Reading >

Easy vs Not Easy

November 18th 2011
Lets get real. I know getting and staying motivated is a challenge. Sometimes a daily or hourly challenge. Lets look at what is easy to do and what isn't easy. See if you agree. Easy to do: Lie in bed and hit snooze Go through the drive thru Order take out Sit on the couch and veg out Put on sweat pants Complain about what isn’t working Blame others for my lack of time and motivation Not easy: Paying thousands on health care due to weight related illness Losing time/money at Continue Reading >

Should You Be a Team Beachbody Coach?

October 28th 2011
I get so many questions from people. What is a Beachbody coach? What does that mean? Do I have to coach people? Should I be a coach even when I’m overweight? How can I coach people when I don’t know anything about fitness? I’m not like you. I’m not motivated. To me there are several different types of coaches. Discount coaches: These coaches are strictly in it for the 25% cost savings. They have zero interest in sharing it with others or growing it as a business. Even if someone asks Continue Reading >

Journey vs Destination

August 20th 2011
I'm on day 41 of Insanity. I've had my ups and downs with my nutrtion and set backs with my body. However, that will not stop me from getting to day 60. My dad went to the ER with chest pains. That was a scary day. He is okay now and that is all that matters. At first I became a Beachbody coach to help myself. To keep myself on track. Now I love helping others stay on track and help themselves. Service to many leads to greatness. That is what keeps going through my mind. Service to many leads to Continue Reading >

The Gym vs Beachbody at Home

August 5th 2011
Day 26 of Insanity. Check. Had to get that out of the way. Almost 1/2 way through. Last week I hurt my calf and took it easy. I missed one Insanity workout and went to the gym to use their equipment and sit in the dry sauna. As I sat there sweating I thought of several things. 1) Why am I sitting in a 180 degree room when I can just go outside in the Texas sun and sweat. We are on the 34th consecutive day of over 100 degree temperatures. 2) Why do I choose the gym or Beachbody? What a Continue Reading >

Insanity Day 20 -Oh yes! I’m still here

July 30th 2011
Insanity Day 20. Yes. I'm still here. I don't make the time to blog as much as I should. People tell me how much my blog helps them. I have a full time job and I coach part time with Team Beachbody. Blogging is toward the bottom of my priorites. I'm working to push it higher and elimniate things like watching The Bachelorette. I am feeling awesome. My calf is a little sore today. Yesterday I was not into the workout. I was tired and just going through the motions. That does happen. I'm real. Continue Reading >

Insanity Pure Cardio – Day 5

July 15th 2011
Day 5. My triceps are hurting from the dips from the other day. I can feel my rear end getting tighter. I can feel my abs getting tighter. My shoulders fell stronger and my mood has gone off the charts. Only 5 days in and I'm on fire. I've been emotionally eating for quite some time and finally found a way to set it free. Insanity is helping me release it in a positive way. This week the world lost two wonderful men to cancer. Byron Montgomery and Mike Gibson. Both great people. Losing them as Continue Reading >

Insanity Cardio Recovery – Day 4

July 14th 2011
Day 4 of Insanity and I forgot how much I love Thursdays. Thursday is recovery day. No power jumps, no super cardio. Just nice stretching, yoga, balance, and core work. I must confess that I didn't eat all that great for the first 4 days. I weighed in this morning and gained 1.8 pounds. Yikes! Its like I haven't slowed down since the 4th of July. I keep eating and drinking whatever I want, whenever I want. I'd eat a great breakfast or have Shakeology, decent to healthy lunch and then dinner on would Continue Reading >

Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit – Day 2

July 12th 2011
Well here we are. Day 2 of Insanity. I made it through the warm up with ease. As easy as it can be. I was sweating and doing it and pushing myself. I usually have to stop but this time I didn't. I dug deep and made it. My back is still hurting a little but it is getting better. Plyo is one of my favorites. It wasn't the first time I tried Insanity but now it is. It pushing me so hard and I usually end up crying at the end. It helps me leave it all on the floor. If I had a bad thought in my head Continue Reading >
