Hello All,
I am starting fresh today. I decided this weekend to really focus on attaining my goals, both personally and profesionally. I plan on sharing my commitment through my weekly blogs. I have so many ideas and plans but it is very difficult for me to slow down and actually execute my ideas and plans because I typically go at 100 miles an hour and try to cram in as much as I can...but then, by the end of the day, I have really not COMPLETED much of anything! So,my plan is to be much more project oriented and prioritize everything so I can actually make progress.
So, these are my projects for this week:
1. Get my On Demand videos up on my website
2. Work on my Nutrition program for D3
3. Heart Rate Performance Specialist Cert
That's it! I think if I can spend up to 2 hours a day on all the above, I will progress by the end of the week. I will let you know how it's going by mid week.
I am also going to start bringing you advice and tips on making working out a consistent part of your life. Every week I will share info to help you make working out and fitness, a FOREVER habit....for the long haul!
Chapter 1: A Made Up Mind:
Are you always asking yourself the following questions: Why can't I commit to an exercise program? Why can my friends work out on a consistent basis but I can not? Why do I feel this sense of pure dread when I think about going to workout? Well,if you do,you are not alone. So many women and men face these questions daily. And believe it or not, the answer is easy...you Do Not Have a Made Up Mind yet!
What is "made up mind" you ask? Its when you get to the point that you are sick and tired of being sick and tired of your current situation! There is a quote I love that really demonstrates what a made up mind is: "People change when the pain of remaining the same is greater than the pain of change!" Think about that! So true when it comes to life altering changes,right? Are you in enough pain, which can be emotional, mental,or physical, to make the change and choose health and fitness? Unfortunately, I can not give you a made up mind or even tell you how to get one....this is a personally driven decision you make for yourself.
I would urge you to just think about the previous paragraph for a few days. Next week,I will start sharing my story with you and how I got my made up mind.....

Dre,
For some reason I decided to read the blog, and wow is all I can say. So much realness , and inspiration on this blog site.
Regarding your blog on made up mind, I realize I have been coming to D3 for 2 months now and my mind is still not made up, and I cannot understand why this is so hard.
I have had so so many challenges in my life, but this weight thing has to be the hardest thus far for me. I am a woman who usually accomplishes so much, but I cannot do it with the weight. What surprises me the most is that I have a vainess about me, but even with that I have not committed enough to lose the weight.
I look at myself on a daily basis with disgust and I still don't change. I cannot wear any of my clothes and it a battle just to rise each day because choosing an outfit to wear is so hard because very few pieces fit, so I wear black, and look like I'm in mourning. I look like I'm 5 months or so pregnant, but I still don't change.
I am tired, frustrated, and disappointed with myself, and I feel so sad about this process.
I look forward to your weekly blog about this.

Mechell,
You are doing so well! I wish you would give yourself a break! You are coming to class and you are working hard. I am so proud of you! Just take it one day at a time and you will see your body change. Once we launch the nutrition program, I want you to be my PILOT! We are gonna work closely together to get you where you want to be.
In the meantime, just keep coming to class and you will be amazed at how your body WILL change!!
Love you girl!
Dre
