I am so excited! This week, I decided to refocus my Beachbody life. I've realized that I pretty much suck as a coach. The main reason I suck as a coach is because I have not lost the weight as I should have. I did really well the first couple months I was a coach, but I've not lost a single pound since July. Granted, I've worked out almost every day, I've ate well consistently through lunch, and most of the time through dinner. However, once the kiddos are in bed I get a Starbucks Frappucino, or get into some of the kids foods like pop tarts, crackers, etc. So what has been going in my mouth has been offsetting the calories burned in my workouts. How dumb is that?!?
So my coach bought me a book called The Energy Bus. It has truly changed my life. I'm only half-way through, but I am learning so much about myself and how I project myself to others, but also how I perceive others. My mind has grown so much mentally and emotionally this week and I believe that it has contributed to my physical change of losing 3 pounds in 1 week!. When you are feeling positive, you send positive energy into the world and positive energy comes back to you.
As a result of the changes I am making mentally and emotionally, I am pushing harder through my workouts and I am also being more disciplined in what goes in my mouth. Yes. I have cheated a couple times, but not near the cheating I was doing before.
Last night was Halloween. I had some chocolate as we were sorting through the candy. After about 5 minutes I felt this really weird feeling. It almost felt like a foreign drug. My heart was racing and my head just did not feel right. You know what it was??? Sugar!!! That's right. Because I had done so well with nutrition for the past 6 days, my body did not know how to react to all the sugar that I had just eaten. CRAZY!!!
As a coach, you hear all the time how important personal development is. This is start of my 6th month as a coach. It took me 5 months to believe that I needed it. I DO!!! I need it badly. It changes your mindset about life in so many ways. It changes who you are mentally and emotionally. I have seen so much change in me in just one week that I will never go back to not reading it. I have this new zeal for life and this business that I had not felt since I first signed up as coach. But now it is a completely different type of zest! It's a, "I know I'm going places," kind of feeling. Without a doubt in my mind I know that one day I am going to be a 15 Star Diamond coach. It's not a matter of "if," but "when." I just love this feeling. I feel like I'm on top of the world and I can conquer anything. And it's all because of personal development.
I can't wait to see what the week has to offer. Hopefully some more movement on the scale and more toning of the body. Who wants to jump on my energy bus? Are you on a bus of negativity? Join me today and let's make positive life changes inside and out, and never look back!
