Bootcamp word of the day: Improve!


Word of the day today was IMPROVE!  We all start somewhere and grow!  

Today when Fran (aka mom), Pam, Tracey, Susan, Sandy, and Sheila BROUGHT IT and then some!!  They worked for every drop of sweat that came off those awake fit bods!!  We were burning through front kicks and noticing that, hmmm, maybe these legs feel a little lighter, are moving a little faster, and dying a lot less!!  This is what it feels like to persevere!!  Never is it too late and NEVER do you want to go backwards!  

Personal development makes you want more for yourself, your family and others around you!  This class is two GLORIOUS days a week and what goes on in between absolutely counts!!  It's living but NOT throwing away all that you worked for!  As my mom said to her waiter when he asked for desert..."I worked too damn hard today to eat that!"  Love Her!!  What are you reading, listening to, surrounding yourself by to grow inside?  I am always listening to a podcast on my phone, or cd in my car, or audiobook to keep my thoughts right and positive.  Too much unintentionally garbage is floating around out there!  

It is WAY better to make your choices and fail then NOT make a choice at all!

BTW..Got to celebrated mom's success tonight with a fab dinner:
Crustless Pizza...

Thinly sliced tomato
Eggplant (sliced thin and sauteed in a pan with cooking spray aka pam)
onions sliced thin sauteed in a pan 
Mozzarella cheese (either lowfat or fresh) thinly sliced
fresh or dry basil (sorry, mom forgot that)
salt/pepper to taste
YUMMY!!

Did have a small piece of applesauce banana bread (no oil)  made with fresh applesauce and whole wheat flour!! (I was, like, food network star tonight!)  Doesn't happen THAT often but it has lately because IPLAN MORE NOW!!!

Enjoy your weekend!   See you Tuesday 6am at the WASHINGTON TOWN HALL!

How to get up in the morning! (Even for bootcamp)

Hello all!

I saw people today get up out of their warm, cozy beds, leave their home and head out to meet their friends at the Town Hall to CHALLENGE THEMSELVES SOME MORE!

THAT'S AWESOME!!!  THAT MAKES THINGS HAPPEN!!  THAT IS PUTTING ACTION TO YOUR FAITH!~

This is what helps me get out of bed and move:
1)  Get to bed Rest = healing
2) before you go to be set an alarm ( move it across the room if you have to!)
3)  Write down (or in your head) the "why" of getting up the next day. (this should include your goals you set out for yourself!)
     "I want to be healthier for my family/friends"
     "I don't want to feel tired all the time, especially starting my day!",
     "I want to go shopping for clothes that fit my new fit body!"
     "I want to eat better"
4)  Focus on the why and make your steps of "HOW":  HOW are you going to accoumplish those goals:  
       (THIS USUALLY means GETTING OUT OF BED NOW)
         DRINK MORE WATER STARTING NOW AND BRING SOME TO CLASS
         PRE PACK LUNCH/SNACKS (JUST LIKE FOR THE KIDS)
         MAKE A SHOPPING LIST IF YOU DON'T HAVE GOOD THINGS IN THE HOUSE AND STICK TO IT!  THROW AWAY THE GARBAGE AND DON'T BUY MORE!
5)  As Tony Horton says, (creator of P90X and P90X2) "DO YOUR BEST AND FORGET THE REST"
6)  AT 7AM BASK IN THE GLORY OF COMPLETING A MAGNIFICANT WORKOUT, METABOLIZE THOSE ENDORPHINES AND OTHER FABULOUS NEUROTRANSMITTERS WHICH GIVE YOUR BRAIN POSITIVE FOCUS AND CONTINUE YOUR DAY WAY BRIGHTER THEN IF YOU HADN'T! 

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN NOT ATTEND THIS IS SO FOR YOU TOO!  MARK DOWN IN YOUR DAY THE WHEN YOU WILL EXERCISE(AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE CONSECUTIVE TIME...ALL 1 HOUR) AND THE REST STILL HOLDS!  YOU ARE ALL STILL WITH US IN SPIRIT AND WE THINK OF YOU EVERY WORKOUT!!  LET US KNOW HOW YOU ARE DOING!!!

Let me know if you have any questions or if i can help you reach your goals!  You are all welcome to sign up for free if you haven't done so already on my web page http://www.deblifestylefitness.com/ and record your progress in the WOWY gym! 

Thank you and choose to have a great day!
