A Long Road Back
How many of you are
facing a long road back? What do you see and feel every morning when you wake
up? Are you grateful for your good health and the energy that you have to get
through each day that comes from being fit and healthy?
Or do you wake up tired,
not feeling well and not ready to face the day? Does the prospect of all of the
things that you have to do in the day ahead leave you feeling discouraged and
perhaps even depressed because you lost the body and the life that you once
had?
In what seems like a
lifetime ago, I used to wake up feeling rested, super healthy, super fit and
ready to take on the day. Then I got hit in the face by the 2 x 4 of life and I
had to take on unprecedented challenges that only my level of health and
fitness allowed me to get through. Getting through things and how your life is
on the other side, though, are two different things.
Stress, that silent
disrupter of life and killer in some cases, took its toll. I all of a sudden
had health issues that I didn't even know what they were. But the root cause
was stress and now I am on a long road back with a destination that seems so
far away and so daunting to get to.
Did you wake up today
way too overweight for your body type? Do you have health issues related to
diet, inactivity, obesity, stress or other lifestyle related reason? Are you on
a long road back?
No matter the cause, if
you face a long road back that seems to be endlessly uphill, then lets face our
challenges together. My primary role as your
coach is
to give you support and provide accountability to you. My commitment to winning
this latest battle that I am facing will never waiver and I want, on the road
that my journey takes, to be there for you every step of the way.
 Last week, I was messaging Brett Blake at
the Beachbody headquarters in Santa Monica and he asked me about my profile
picture. I said that it was symbolic and the most important thing about it are
the words FINISH. The picture is from the 1995 Philadelphia Independence
Marathon and I was coming back from a serious car accident when I ran it. I not
only finished, but finished with a time that allowed me to qualify for the
Boston Marathon.
I finished and reached
my goal. That is what I want to happen to all of you who are facing challenges
in life that are keeping you from reaching your goals. We can support each
other and keep each other accountable. Let's put our feet on the road to our
goal and never stop and never look back.
What's New
The keys to my recovery
have been Shakeology and mixing
up Beachbody workouts (or you can modify if you only have one) with Les Mills
Pump, TurboFire and P90X2, so that I am always doing enough and never doing too
much. My body has its own battle going on trying to heal. But fueling it with
the most nutritious
shake on the market and working out regularly is part of that healing and
will work for you the same way that it is working for me.
Shakeology blog
- In order to give you a place to learn more about Shakeology, I have created a
new blog which will give you the insights and incentives that you need to try
it and use it every day like I do.

Shakeology blog, just click here.
Team Beachbody
blog - I have also worked extensively on our Team Howtobefit blog so
that it gives you a broad overview of what the Team Beachbody opportunity truly
is and how much it can do for you to change your life and give you the quality
of life you have always wanted and so deserve.

In closing...
Let's do this. Don't
wait another day. Don't wake up tomorrow feeling worse than you did today
because you aren't taking action. United we will succeed and together we will
get better together. I want your success as badly as I want my
own... |
