We are all in this together

I have to start by saying, keep up the great work, keep believing and keep losing those unwanted pounds and inches.  I see the growth both mentally and physically.  We started on this change process a month ago and we have been building and learning the importance of changing our bodies, mind and meal plans.  If you are like me, this process has been different, challenging and uncomfortable.  There have been a few days where I wanted to revert back to my old habits, then I thought about the changes that are already happening to my body, I got my mind right and the changes are still coming.  We started this process to change our lifestyles, and not be satisfied with just living and never reaching that level of greatness that inside each one of us.   


Quote of the week: 

 

“If we're growing, we're always going to be out of our comfort zone.” John Maxwell


This week, we will continue to grow, and please don't forget that you maybe uncomfortable during your workouts and also while you are changing your meal plan.  If you step out of you comfort zone, it gives you the opportunity to reach those new levels in life that you can tell your friends and family about during the next big gathering.  Hopefully, they will learn something from your growth and get started with this new lifestyle we are working towards.

Questions for the week?   You have to answer these questions yourself, Don't cheat. 

1.  Do you have your sign up?  I'm under construction. 

2.  Do you know your individual goals you want for your body?  Write them down

3.  Did you plan you meals out for the day/week?  Are you reading labels in the store? 

4.  How many days will I workout this week?  How hard will I work? 

5.  Can I push myself past the level that I achieved last week?  Let T answer this one for you, YES!!!

6.  Did I encourage someone else to get started with this healthy lifestyle?

7.  Will I sit back and admire the good I've achieved over the past few weeks, or will I continue to fight for GREATNESS? 

If you can answers those questions, please be honest, you will be well on your way to GREATNESS.  I see the potential in each of you.  Everyday, I see you during the workouts fighting to change, and I see a big difference in you both physically and mentally.  Its great to know that we are in this fight together.  

Finally, I want to start a fitness challenge sometime in February/March and I'm tossing around some ideas.  This will be something we all can work hard to achieve.  It will be based on your weight/inches loss, meal plan and overall fitness level.  I will probably have you to write some journal entries to gauge your weekly progress and meals.  Right now I'm thinking it will be thirty days with the fitness test at the end.  I will work around your schedule on the fitness test.  I would need to do a pre-test to determine where you are and your progress during the fitness challenge.  I would love so see couples get involved and make this a partnership in fitness.  These are a few ideas I'm tossing around in my head, nothing is concrete.  There will be a reward for the fitness challenge.

 If you have any ideas, please let me know, I want to get this challenge going soon.

I love that there's equality in this change process, it really doesn't matter who you are or where you are from when it comes to change.  Many times in the gym I will say, it's hard but its fair, we are all doing the same thing. It's a great thing when you see others who are committed to change and get in there and fight with you.  This blog started with a vision and Toya, soon came Sharon, Wanda, Chan, Darren, Sheka, Glenn, Triple D, Mosa, Karen, Nore, Jess, Ang, Memory, Dianna.  I can't forget about the other warriors, My boy BIG Troy, Carl, Wally, Tay, CG, Jay, Big C, Erma, Tiffany, Lisa/Lisa, Angel, Leanis, Tank, Kris, Lil Phil, SS, Preacher, Veto, both Quitas and Melissa. Big, Big  Shout out to you warriors, we will continue to fight, We are all in this TOGETHER.
