Life Changing

Over the last couple of years, I have met some amazing people through my support of the Bodytrim program. I keep in contact with these via popular social networking programs, and get amazed at how their lives are lived nowadays and the changes that has happened. I feel a real sense of pride in knowing these amazing people, and cannot help but think about how their lives have changed. The latest is a young lady who has ultimately lost 60 kilos, and her latest adventure and project was completing an 11 kilometre Fun Run. Going through her head as she completed this latest objective, surely was the incredible and inspirational journey she has embarked on. And one of the greatest senses of satisfaction is that they are undertaking these journeys for themselves. No television cameras monitor their every move, no personal trainers at their beck and call. Just a desire to lose some weight, and then in the process start to enjoy life again and then the stretch begins on what they really want out of life. Exercise and health becomes the focus, after the education on how to lose their weight. They enjoy life in s many ways, and continue with some of their vices, but understand what is needed for them to ensure that vices do not take control.

In all cases, these journeys started with one step....and that one step was achieved only after a real desire for change. Are you prepared to take that step??

Routine Starts to Kick In

Last week, I posted the changes in my life incurred through the flooding of the store. Over the sixteen days since arriving back at work, I have worked fourteen, including twelve straight. I actually feel really good, and the energy levels currently are good. The mind is clear and the focus is sharp.

In some ways, a routine is starting to settle in, with very early morning walks and an evening walk, both with my wife who is kick-starting back into her Bodytrim lifestyle. Nutrition is good, and close to very good actually...very focused on eating right. During the cleanup, salvage and rebuild operation, we are likely to hit some goals and deadlines that need to be celebrated and my time for a beer will be limited to those times. This is not the time to let the job overwhelm me, but the fitter and better I feel, the better my work will be.

Team, I hope you are all having a great start to 2011, and that you are well on your way to kicking your goals.
