Why You Can't START Being Healthy Later

featured
I keep getting the response from people that they will, "start later." They will start being healthy later is really what they're saying. As if their health is on hold right now waiting for them to start it. Well guess what that isn't the case and that's what we're going over today.

Why "Free" is Not Actually Free

Monday Mornings

featured
Let's talk about Monday mornings, or any morning and how to, 'live them by design.'

Okay so who likes Monday mornings? Although I'm not standing in front of you right now I'm guessing your hand didn't go up. When I first started this whole "live by design" mentality I came to the realization that life is too short. I realize that statement is nothing mind blowing or anything you haven't heard before but I set out to actually do something about it.

My Biggest Relationship Mistake

connection
You may not know this about me but I do a lot of reflecting. I am often reflecting on past mistakes, things I've said, things I've done wondering why I did what I did.

One in particular stands out to me as one of my biggest I've ever made and one I'll never repeat. The funny thing (if you can even call it that) is that it wasn't until years later that I had even realized I had made a mistake.

Being Burned: Learning to Recover

featured

There's no pain like it, relationship pain. I don't often share about my relationships on my blog because there hasn't much to share. I'm single, not exactly news worthy. I'm picky, which means I'm single for long spouts of time. I'm shy, which means although I'm outgoing on the outside it takes a miracle for me to make the first move. Not exactly a great recipe for relationship success but it's the truth and it's where I'm currently at. 

ONCE

Believe in yourself
I'd like to share with you a story I don't think I've ever shared with anyone and it's one of my earliest memories. Looking back now it's the earliest memory I can remember of someone saying something to me that not only do I remember, but has also impacted me even until this day. 

It's the title of this blog... ONCE.

The 21 Day Fix Details

21 Day Fix

The 21 Day Fix
I wanted to create a program about a year ago that would simply KEEP THINGS SIMPLE.  Simple nutrition and quick workouts.  The idea of small steps everyday leads to huge results has been beaten into my head for the past 2 years, but there didn't seem to be a program that fit that equation.  I didn't have the means, energy or expertise to create such a program which is why I'm so happy Beachbody did!


What's best about this program is it's nutrition system and versatility.  A simple food list and container system is going to control your nutrition, that's it.  It's about portion control here, not limits.   This is maybe the only system which say's, "you want a glass on wine? Okay have it.  But in moderation."


I know my biggest problem is nutrition but at the same time I want my freedom of choice.  Who likes being told what they can't have?   It only makes us want it more.  Check out the video below for some awesome info and people who have changed THEIR lives using this program.  
What do I get?

There are 2 kits you can choose from with the 21 Day Fix.  Here's what you get in the base kit and the 'Ultimate' option is compared below...

What else do I get?
Have you ever been to the gym with and without a friend or workout partner?  Which one was better?  I guess that's up for all us to decide but here we're all about community and support.  When you decide to join one of our groups I'll be your coach and here to help you out during our journey by answering questions, sharing some tips and even just for general chit chatting.   We're also going to meet some other people doing the exact same thing and form more relationships there.

If you're shy don't worry, you can be as engaging as you want.  Make me your free coach HERE.


I'm ready, where do I go?

I am too but we have some options to consider.  There are 3 options for the 21 Day Fix you're going to want to consider.  First there is what I call the SILVER OPTION.  Chose between either the 21 Day Fix Base kit or the 21 Day Fix Ultimate Kit (details above).   Or decide on the GOLD OPTION which is the 21 Day Fix Base kit above along with a 30 day supply of Shakeology (video HERE).

Why do I call this the Gold option?  Because it works and I truly believe you will get the absolute best results when you combine the program with Shakeology.  I'm not going to give you facts or statistics here, I know you'll do your own research, and YOU SHOULD.  I know it works because I have Shakeology everyday for the past 2 years and I have experienced the results first hand.

Either option is up to you just ask yourself, "Why are you seriously considering this investment?"

EMERALD OPTION(S)
21 Day Fix BASE kit ($59.85)

21 Day Fix ULTIMATE upgrade kit ($59.86)

RUBY OPTION
21 Day Fix BASE kit + Shakeology ($140 Introductory Price, $160 normally)

DIAMOND OPTION
Everything in the Ruby PLUS Coach membership.  Contact me for full details.


Conclusion
Look, there are diet pills, fat burners and other crap out there that claim results but how often do they actually deliver?  There's no secrets here.  We're going to work on portion control, getting you moving and learning how to live a healthier lifestyle that will last you far longer that 21 days.  Oh and BONUS, after you're done, the program is still yours.  Do it as often as you like.  Many of the test group participants have gone on to do this program 10 times for extreme results.

We are all sick of gimmicks and although we may not always like the truth, we know it when we hear it, and this is it.  The only question is, are you ready?

Questions?
If you have any more questions either please contact me directly or I have set up a Facebook group for people wanting to know more.  Check us out here https://www.facebook.com/groups/21DayFixFeb17/

A scary statistic

end the trend
I watched a documentary called "The Perfect Human Diet," and in this documentary it gave me a seriously scary statistic that I felt compelled to share and help visualize (see above image).  After doing some quick research on my own to verify these numbers I found out this.  Approximately 3,000 people died during the events of Sept. 11th and approximately 300,000 people die every year from obesity related deaths. Oh and I'm told that the obesity number is going up each year... yikes!

After doing some quick math, that is like Sept. 11th happening every 3.65 days!  Can you even imagine how horrific that would be?!?  The sad thing is that it is happening.  It's just not as visual as the events of Sept. 11th were.

Please note, the last thing I want to do is turn this into a blog about Sept. 11th.  I suppose I could have used a different event like WWI or WWII.         

The brave people in those buildings and planes didn't have a choice about their fate that day but we do. We can prevent the obesity crisis.  If you could have prevented an event like Sept. 11th you would have wouldn't you?  So why not help prevent a crisis that is killing 100 times more people?


Conclusion
Unfortunately we can't change what other people do, but we can change ourselves.  We can correct this problem all while at the same time making our lives happier and healthier.  I'm not saying we should stop having security in airports but looking solely at the statistics here it's not our greatest threat.  One of our greatest threats is staring right at us everyday.

If you're part of this 300,000 then I challenge you to make a change.  Start exercising and start eating right. Find the time and or money to save your own life.  If you're already living a healthy lifestyle I challenge you to help another.  Teach them what you know and help motivate them for a positive change.

If you'd like help from me I'd love to share my journey, daily habits, tips and tricks with you.  Please contact me at JimmieB@BeachbodyCoach.com.

Quitting A Bad Thing?

featured
"Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit." - Vince Lombardi

I was reading this quote the other day and loved it, but I think for a different reason then Mr. Lombardi was saying.  In my opinion what he's trying to say is don't make a habit of quitting.  Keep trying, keep fighting, etc.  Ok so you may be asking yourself how did I read it differently.


I've recently been reading and writing/ blogging a lot more and most of what I read is on self development.  Right now I'm really focusing on staying on track and getting rid of the things in my life that are either weighing me down or wasting my time.  Something that was really wasting my time was this game called 'Candy Crush,' you may have heard of it.  Man this game is addicting, I even found myself paying a few bucks for extra lives!

I finally decided it was time to start quitting bad habits!  I deleted all the games off of my iPhone.  It was hard because I'm sure I lost all the work I had put into my scores but really who cares.  In a day/ month/ or year from now am I really going to care if I was on level 1 or 100.  Doubt it.  This action led me to also start reading more and watching less TV.  Which will hopefully continually inspire me to do something else.

I guess the point of this post is to say I agree with Vince Lombardi.  Quitting isn't bad, as long as what you're quitting is bad, in my case a bad habit!
