Getting in Shape update

Posted on 11/4/2009 by

I’ve lost count of how many days or weeks it’s been since I started my quest to get in shape. That’s a good thing. :)
…

Yesterday I started taking a whole food multi-vitamin. I’m focusing on vibrant health and more energy.

It must be working because I think I had a brilliant idea today. Some of the folks I’ve shared it with think I’ve lost my mind. They may be right, but I think it’s brilliant. I think it was an inspired thought and now I’m going to take inspired action. :)

Getting the Emotions Out of the Equation

Posted on 11/1/2009 by

When I wallow in the bad emotion of hating exercise, it drains my energy! It takes a lot of energy to hate something. It takes a lot of energy to come up with a million reasons of how I can get out of my exercise today. It takes more mental energy to feel all that than it takes physical energy to just go ahead and DO IT! So, ‘taking the emotion out’ means to do it without thinking about it at all – or do it with the right attitude and thinking that God would place on it…

I AM saying that some things aren’t worth good or bad emotions. They are just there. They are just something we do. And we just do them without thinking. They take little mental energy that way. Our metal energy is saved for the things that REALLY matter such as our passions, our relationships, and our new and exciting experiences.

Getting in Shape Day 5

Posted on 10/29/2009 by

I think I have to make my weight and body image a non-issue. How do I do that? I don’t think ignoring the problem is the answer. I need to take action, even if it’s to get my mind moving in the right direction. I think, for me, it’s more about taking the emotion out of it. I have to get it set in my mind that my lifestyle must change so that this is a non-issue. I am now an active person. I MUST be. I have to trust the process. I have to build these things into my day and not stress about them. Just accept that these are things I must do like brush my teeth or go to the bathroom. It’s just something that has to be done. I must quit making a big deal about it and just do it without even thinking. Continue reading →

Getting in Shape – Day 4

Posted on 10/28/2009 by

Today, I feel like crap! Remind me why I’m doing this??? …

Focusing on my body is not fun for me. I can think of a million other things that I would rather be doing. Making my blog about health and fitness was not in my grand scheme of things. But, when I started trying to figure out where I should start to help others be successful in their business, I had to face the facts. The thing that has helped me make changes in my life in the past has been to gain more self-confidence and more self-control by taking control of my body through focusing on wellness. …

Today I can focus on the pain I have and still do the exercises or I can focus on the future I know I have and do the exercises. Either way, I’ll do the exercises. But, which way will cause the exercises to bring me the most benefit? I CHOOSE to focus on the bright future ahead and the more fit body I will have because I KNOW focusing on that will give me much more energy and enthusiasm while I exercise.

Getting In Shape Update – Day 3

Posted on 10/27/2009 by

I was really sore yesterday. I was amazed that just walking and Yoga could make me that sore! I guess that’s a good thing. I felt as if it must be working :) At least until I got dressed to go to my office in Nashville. Then I felt fatter than ever. I started to get a little depressed. It just doesn’t seem to work as quickly as I would like for it to work. I also know and believe that as long as I feel fat, I will not get the momentum and energy headed in the right direction. I will get whatever I focus on, so if I focus on what I don’t want, that’s exactly what I will get.
