New Year, New You

Unless you have been living under a rock for your whole life, you know what a New Year's Resolution is. You make a list of goals for the upcoming year. I love this idea. You should have goals. However, there is a big problem with it. Most people write down the goals... and nothing else.

Examples:
I want to lose 20 pounds.
I will make more money.
I still make a career change.

Have you spotted the issue??

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON DOING IT?

If you don't make a plan of action, you will most likely give up. You will get frustrated that you aren't getting results, and quit. But you can't get those results you long for I'd you don't have a plan.

So, two things to help.

Push by Chalene Johnson

If you are a subscriber, you have seen this book mentioned before. I love Chalene. She is such a successful woman. And the reason she is so successful and amazing is: she plans. Simple as that. This book is a day by day layout of what you need to do to achieve your goals. Totally worth the read, and re-read.

Next...

For those of you who are planning on making weight loss or health resolutions, I am offering personal assistance. For the month of January, I will be running a fitness "challenge" through my Facebook page. You will have three workout programs to choose from (TBA) & all three come with a month supply of Shakeology and a meal plan. You get amazing structure, a top of the line program, and accountability from myself and your teammates, all in the comfort of your own home. No gym memberships or nervousness about being in public!

I highly recommend doing BOTH of these options. By doing so you have a greater chance of success, and you are investing in yourself. If it seems daunting, remember that I am following the same advice I am giving you right now. I will not just be running the challenge, I will be living it.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email me or like my page.

Share The Love

I've noticed that since this month is Thanksgiving, many people are doing daily posts about what they are thankful for. So I wanted to share something I am thankful for, as well as proud to be a part of.

This month, Beachbody is running a "Give and Receive" special. For every challenge pack sold, they are donating $20 to Feeding America, as well as giving the customer $20 towards their next purchase. They are donating a MINIMUM of $250,000. That is amazing! I'm so happy to be part of a company that gives back.

I have also decided to do an "Open Campaign" til December 31st. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns for me (health and fitness related only) please email me at pcruse55@gmail.com with your name,phone number, and best time to call, and I will call you within three days. If you are not comfortable with giving out your number, I will absolutely answer any questions by email as well.

I want to help as many people as I can. So please share with people you know. You never know who is struggling. Thank you.

Changes!

For the month of November, I have decided to push myself to make some changes. Some will be small, others not so much.

Some small changes: revamping my website, making a to-do list every day, and meditating daily.

A few BIG changes: reaching out to at least 2 people a day about Beachbody, doing more challenging workouts weekly, and creating a monthly meal plan.

All of these are focused on growth, both for myself and my family. I need to make changes if I want to go different places, as we all do. People wonder why they aren't getting the lives they desire. It's because they are afraid of change. I was there too. But, I have realized fear is just worry... about things that may never even happen. If you keep living in fear, nothing will happen, good or bad.

So, I have decided to take a leap of faith. Just push harder and see where it takes me. And when I begin to feel nervous our afraid, I can meditate to regain my center and realize there's nothing to fear.

If you have been thinking about doing something, but are afraid what may happen, DO IT ANYWAY! Something bad may happen, sure, but something amazing could happen as well.
