Wow! If you have not heard the Enrique Iglesias song, "I Like How It Feels" you have got to listen to it. I think if ever there was a song that hit home with me, this would have to be it. I have to sit and think about my life and how I have always been just one step behind everyone else...their dreams, thier plans, their life. Have you ever just sat there and wondered "what is my purpose?"
I think that I've searched for that my entire life...just where do I belong? What is it that I can do to make a difference? You know I don't believe there are any random acts in our universe. Everything that happens to you is part of the person you are and the person you are meant to be. Every experience from the exhiliarating highs to the crashing lows. It all makes you so unique. Every person is a story just waiting to be told.
I know that many of you are coming to this site because you have a story. Some of you will do this journey on your own and others will reach out across cyberspace and meet people sharing the same experience you are. You know we may come here for different reasons, but we are all heading to the same destination - we are looking for a way to be healthier and happier.
For those of you struggling with self-esteem issues because of where you are right now, I want to say YOU CAN CHANGE IT! I don't care if you have 300 lbs to lose or if you are so skinny the wind could blow you into next week...you can change it. The only thing in life that has an ironclad guarantee is death. Other than that, everything is possible. But the only person that is going to get you there is YOU!
Now I can come in here and tell you night after night exactly what I am doing to change my life. I can stand behind you and encourage you. I can support you and guide you. I can even inspire you. But when it comes to making it happen...IT'S ALL YOU! You have to reach down inside yourself and want it so bad that you will be willing to do whatever it takes to get there.That means when you have a setback, and you will, you have to have the courage to keep getting back up and pushing forward. For every person that says "you can't" you have to say "you can!"
I'm just very happy to have finally reached my goal weight and now changing to "toning" instead of "weight loss" for my goal. I can't even begin to tell you how much "I LIKE HOW IT FEELS!" It was a lot of stumbles to get here, but I was determined someday I would be here. And now, me the girl that was afraid of P90X is fighting like heck to do Asylum and LOVING IT! Am I perfect? Heck NO! But it doesn't matter...what matters is I keep raising the bar. I keep telling myself I can do better and I know I will.
I became a coach because I love it! I love how exciting it is to see people transform themselves. I love being there when they tell their story and then watching them come alive with their success. I'm a coach because "I LIKE HOW IT FEELS!"
We are all doing a "Holiday Fat Blaster" on the Cinderella Pact thread over on the P90X Programs Message boards. We would love to have anyone that wants to join us, jump over and just get busy with us. I don't care what program you are doing, the girls in there have tons of experience and great information to share. So if you are looking for a group of really motivated people...we are definitely where you want to go!
See you in the WOWY Super Gym!
