Everyday is a Journey...

Everyday is a journey ...  we all are trying to accomplish things in our lives.. trying to get somewhere ... trying to be someone .... look like someone ... trying to "be" someone... Who are YOU trying to be???  I tried for years to figure out what I was going to be when I grew up... ???

Soo many choices.. so many decisions.. so many paths to chose... Like that old saying ... If I knew then what I know now statement .... yea... a definite loaded statement.. but I guess it all comes down to something I was told ... long ago... "If you want it bad enough... you'll do it!"  You see NOTHING but our own self-talk and excuses stand in our way... We (including myself) when we get in a rut ... gotta stop makin excuses....  just get goin... STAY FOCUSED and DETERMINED... IT WILL HAPPEN... 

Have a super great day!!! <3

Don't give up... Never give up... 

I've been struggling for the last few months.. and woke up this morning.. and read this... which verified ... what the company that I stand for really means to me .... "NEVER GIVE UP" ... is this year's theme for BeachBody...   there is a reason... why I still keep coming BACK to BeachBody...  and I want to live their great motto ... "Never Give Up"..  

Summer vacation in North Carolina was waaay too short .. although the time was actually longer than I've spent in North Carolina .. in past years.. Its hard to believe that this time next year will be even more different than anything I've ever experienced.. lots of growing changes... for me and all of our family... 

Talk about lots of work ahead.. for me.. 

My BeachBody business... not just another hobby .... It IS MY BUSINESS 

.. that channels my desire as a Coach to encourage and truly support fitness, health and wellness ... helping others feel great and achieving their health and fitness goals as well.. but more importantly .. challenging them to change their lives as well and possibly encouraging them to create a business for themselves.. if that is what they desire... But thats just it.. BeachBody.... is a great health, wellness and fitness lifestyle.. but can open up new doors to a wonderful future in a business as well. 

In the past.. 

I've always LET others stop.. discourage .. and change my mind for any stupid reasons ... I always tended to be the person to please others.. and do what OTHERS thought I should do....But more importantly, what I've learned about myself.. that its OK to go after WHAT I WANT... and if I put my mind to it ... I truly can accomplish ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING...  

Being a "People Person" .. used to be a common saying.. years ago.. with those who were just beginning their careers.. but this is an absolutely true statement for me.. I really do enjoy helping others ..  this is totally why I became a "Coach!!!"

I absolutely despise when people tend to put a limit on success just because of age...  "You're too old... Act your age..."  and the like .. I completely understand where people may have "used" to think this ... in years past.. but now in today's world .. "The sky is literally the limit!!!"  However, it takes great drive, determination and desire for anyone to achieve a goal.. but I think "Believing in yourself" .. is sooo very important..  I had a super difficult time with this very thing growing up.. but after having found a great love and encourager, my Husband of 30 years,  surely finally set me on my way.. Don't get me wrong, this new positive mindset didn't come about overnight....   . I'm still in the beginnings of a great transformation . I believe everyone is ..  .. Lets face it, we ALL are transforming... and evolving.. everyday... making new goals, plans, discoveries ...victories and failures.  Believing in yourself... is so very KEY... to anyone's success.. and a super important piece to the puzzle.  

We all get into ruts... and disbelief... and doubt..  falling into old negative habits and self talk.. is soo easy .. if WE DONT STAY STRONG... This is why I chose to be a BeachBody Coach.. My BeachBody family keeps me encouraged... and shows me support.. so when this Coaching opportunity ... came up during a very down time in my life... I knew this is what I wanted to do.. Now... I have to take some of my OWN medicine... lol I've become slack and slid into old negative self talk.. and not believing that I could do this

So I've decided to recommit myself literally.   

.. to take care of myself and like God requests us to do .. treat our body like a temple... Along with my own progress.. I am focusing .. on my business and start treating it as such.  You know what they say.. if you treat your business as a hobby thats what it will be..  

I know with my strong faith in God... that I can do this.. 

The sky is the limit you know!!!

Aloha & A Hui Hou!!!

Hmmmm.... What an awesome theme affirmation for BeachBody 2014 this year "Never Give Up!!" ...  I began this 21 Day Fix...

            and like they say "nothing in life is easy"...  I have had a few struggles... but now that the challenge over with... it has been quite positive....  I love the portion control... and the way we can share each others accomplishments and struggles.. oh yea awesome recipes too... 

 I find that the a really exciting and supportive thing we have together as BeachBody Coaches .. is one of our Three Vital Behaviors... is Personal Development.. its sooo keeey to help you through EVERYTHING..   There are so many negative things going on in this world.. and we can't let our negativity... or anyone else's get in our way... but more importantly... engage in positive reinforcement .. through Personal Development each and everyday... even if its a short time everyday... it truly makes a world of difference... trust me I've learned.. My first thing is to pray.. that I can be the best Wife, Mother, Friend, Encourager.. which kind of makes me a all the way around Coach!!!  So praying and seeing what God's message is for me in the Bible.. each day.. gives me a great start.. 

trust me I've learned the hard way... then we as Coaches share our Personal Development reads with each other..  I've been carrying around this book for a couple of weeks now.. but the last few nights have really gotten into it... makes soooo much sense...  Working with BeachBody.. I've learned soo much not just for the business.. but for my everyday life.. "All things work together for good... " is something that has gotten me through so many things in my life.. that and a strong faith in God... 

Okay... lets be fit and be strong... enjoy your weekend...

Aloha & A Hui Hou... 

Started a new Challenge today... 21 Day Fix... Its really an exciting new program ... different 30 min workout everyday.. great motivation from the creator Autumn Calabrese... and boy .. if I could look like her.. someday here with consistency.. I'm ready to do the work..  

I've spent alot of time rationalizing .. and not being really dedicated to my fitness goals.. and I'm ready to make this work.. I know with this eating plan, portion control..

and great support from my BeachBody friends.. I am totally on my way.. Strange as it may seem .. although I am breaking myself of some "bad" snacks.. I didnt finish all the foods.. and I do have to make sure I'm well hydrated.. as I didnt completely finish all my water either..  I did have two

Shakeology shakes tho..  I'm totally in love with the Greenberry flavor.. and havent even tapped into the tons of recipes that we all share.. online.. and throughout our BeachBody family.. The workout today.. was pretty intense.. to say the least.. Cardio Fix.. I was so glad to have my new best friend "Kat"there for certain modifications.. although I know it wont be long.. before I'll be totally keeping up with Autumn,

no problem... but I could have sworn .. I heard an ambulance.. right around the corner.. Lol!!  Just wanted to express my thankfulness and gratitude for finding BeachBody.. and my awesome coach Kristi.. and of course all my new great friends I've found through finding this great company.  You can really make this .. your own business.. and work it as much or as little.. as you like.. I decided to give BeachBody my all as I really needed to get back into shape.. and really love and care about others.. I truly enjoy helping them with their fitness, nutrition.. and overall health.  I've learned so much about myself.. goals and know in my heart that this is the place I need to be.. with BeachBody there are no limitations.. only growth and endless potential.. 

So if you ever thought about making a difference in truly a special way like I have.. I'm right here.. 

Aloha & A Hui Hou.. 

Wow .. another year gone by... time seems to be going quicker as I get older... some days I feel like 35 again... and others I feel more like 95.. 

I know its been awhile.. since I posted last.. about "consistency" .. I know I still need to work on this... and this New Year.. 2014 is all of our new CLEAN SLATE.. !!!   I am happy to report .. I am still a BeachBody Coach and still learning everyday... good and bads ... about myself ... fitness and the business.. 

 BeachBody is awesome!!! 

No two ways about it!!!  No matter where, how or why or how little I involve myself... with BeachBody.. I AM STILL LEARNING!!! EVERY SINGLE DAY.. !!!  It is truly a "Helping people transform their lives.." business!!!  It is totally worth engaging in the opportunity.. whether its just for yourself.. or to create a business.. truly helping others.!!! 

I am on my way to creating a new exciting fitness career ... committed to help and guide anyone out there that is willing to take on the challenge.  In this day and age.. there are sooo many wonderful opportunities for ANYONE AT ANY AGE.. to 

"DECIDE, COMMIT, SUCCEED.."

Its our job to take advantage of this great opportunity... and dont let anyone .. tell you, you can't achieve success!!!
