SORRY FOR NO UPDATES OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS... I JUST LOVE UNEXPECTED "CHALLENGES!!!"

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

 

I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE FOR NOT UPDATING MY BLOG OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS.  UNEXPECTED "CHALLENGES" HAS COME UP AND AT FIRST I WAS FRUSTRATED AND HURT WITH THE UNEXPECTED NEWS, BUT AFTER I TOOK A DEEP BREATH, I WAS ABLE TO REASSESS AND REEVALUATE THE "CHALLENGES" AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT...  "BRING IT ON!!!"

 

I AM ONE "PROUD" MAN TO BE ABLE TO SEE THINGS IN SO MANY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND PERCEPTIONS AND I GROW FROM IT AND IT DEFINITLEY MAKES ME A BETTER PERSON THAN I WAS BEFORE!!!

 

LIKE I ALWAYS HEAR, "THINGS HAPPENS FOR A REASON".  AND THAT I WELCOME HUMBLY INTO MY LIFE.  :)

 

AS FOR MY HEALTH & FITNESS...  NOT A DAY MISSED AS I AM COMMITED TO MYSELF BECAUSE I DESERVE THE BEST!!!

 

HOWEVER...  I DID MISS A WEEK OF "STEP AEROBICS" CLASSES DUE TO LONG HOURS AT WORK AND SHORT HOURS OF SLEEP.  YOU AND I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT LACK OF SLEEP AFFECTS "METABOLISM"...  AND BELIEVE ME, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO TRY TO SLEEP IN TO RECOVER...  AND AT THE END...  I BEGAN TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT MY DECISION.  COACH DAWN...  JUST SO KNOW...  I LOVE YOU DEATH AND I LOVE YOUR HIGH ENERGY IN CLASS, ITS THE NOT THE END AND I AM STILL WORKING OUT A SCHEDULE FOR MYSELF TO BE ABLE TO STILL TRY TO FINISH THE SEMESTER.  I MISS YOU AND THE CLASS VERY MUCH AND NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK ABOUT YOU FOLKS.
 
I STILL CONTINUE TO DO MY NEW AND "AWWWESOME" AND LOVABLE, "PIYO WORKOUTS!!!  IT IS AMAZING AND I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT, I AM SO HAPPY TO KNOW ABOUT THIS THRU MY TEAM BEACHBODY COACH ANGELA.  WE TRULY DID NO MEET UP BY ACCIDENT, WE WERE MEANT TO BECOME FRIENDS AND ALTHOUGH WE LIVE 3000 MILES AWAY...  THE SUPPORT, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND TEAMWORK IS ALL THERE WITH EVERYONE ELSE!!!
 
I ALSO LOVE MY "HYPERTROPHY-STRENGHT TRAINING" WORKOUTS TOO!!!  IT DEFINITELY KEEPS ME BUSY AT HOME AND ALSO BUILDS OF MY STRENGTH. 
 
ALSO MY "AWWWESOME" JUMP ROPE CONDITIONING CLASS IS ANOTHER BEST THING THAT I ADDED TO MY FITNESS SCHEDULE.  THIS CLASS A MIXTURE OF EVERYTHING...  JUMP ROPING, CROSSFIT, AEROBICS, AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE MAY BE BROUGHT TO THE TABLE.  I AM PART OF A WONDERFUL GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ALL SHARE THE SAME GOALS AND DESIRES TO STAY HEALTHY AND IN BETTER SHAPE.  AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A GROUP OF DIVERSITY AND VERY WELL FIT PEOPLE.
 
BEN, SARAH, JEREMY, LIZ, KARI, HEATHER, GWEN, AND OTHERS I CAN'T REMEBER MY NAMES BUT I KNOW BY HEART...  YOU ALL ROCK AND I AM PROUD TO BE PART OF YOUR TEAM!!!
 
SINCE I JOINED "TEAM BEACHBODY" AND WORKING MY WAY TO BE AN "AWWWESOME" COACH, MY WHOLE LIFE TOOK A TURN AND NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES HAS BEEN COMING TO ME.  GREAT EVENTS SUCH "TEAM BEACHBODY CHALLENGES" WHICH I LOVE SO MUCH.  SO FAR I DID 2 SEPARATE CHALLENGES, A "5 DAY CLEAN EATING CHALLENGE" AND A "10 DAY FITNESS CHALLENGE".  BOTH OF THESE CHALLENGES HAS DEFINITELY TAUGHT ME MORE ABOUT "DISCIPLINE" AND "SUPPORT" ALL AT ONCE.
 
I AM WORKING STARTING A PERSONAL "5 DAY CHALLENGE" THIS COMING MONDAY, DECEMBER 1ST!!!  IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO "TEAM BEACHBODY" CONCEPT BUT WITHOUT THE "SHAKEOLOGY" AS MY FRIENDS EITHER HAVE NO CLUE WHAT "TEAM BEACHBODY" IS ALL ABOUT OR THEY KNOW SOMEWHAT ABOUT IT.  HOPEFULLY AFTER THIS "CHALLENGE", MAYBE THEN I CAN INTROUCED THEM TO WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.
 
SO HERE THE CHALLENGE I ISSUED OUT TO MY CO-WORKERS:
