"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given then to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." - Ali

I'm BACK! (again)

After a few week hiatus, I am back on the saddle with this blog.  I've taken a couple weeks off my P90X routine because I noticed my body and energy was feeling way beat up.  Now I'm feeling great and ready to hit phase 2 with FORCE.

Meanwhile, I've been hearing some great stories from some friends that I'd like to share with you all.

One of my local friends Myra has lost over 45lbs since early this year when she decided to take her life back and start eating better and exercising.  Myra has dedicated herself to changing her eating habits and began to consume organic foods while laying off all processed and junk foods that were poisoning her body for so many years.  On top of that, she has made a valiant effort and incorporating jogging into her busy schedule and has accomplished several workout goals along the way.  Not to mention she has dropped several sizes in clothing and is looking great!  In talking to Myra, you can sense the energy and enthusiasm in her voice.  This life changing experience has really had a positive effect on her and her drive is pushing her to achieve much more in life.  She has very attainable summer goals and I KNOW she will be able to reach them.  Keep up the great work Myra!

Another guy is my friend Greg*.  Greg began a training regimen this year that has helped him shed many unwanted pounds!  He has incorporated a new weight lifting and cardio routine that has pushed his energy and strength to new heights.  Greg has been educating himself with ways to get his body to burn off load of fat calories while building his muscles to new levels.  He has been taking natural and other over the counter supplements to help him surpass his workout goals and most recently accomplished some superb calorie burning goals!  He has a lot of drive and a hard work ethic when it comes to hitting the Gym.  One thing to point out is that Greg is also a student and holds down a job.  And while some of his workouts take him into the late hours (or VERY early hours) he makes sure he can get it in regardless of what he gets in his way.  Greg has VERY big plans ahead of him so get ready to see a new and improved version of him.

Many of my friends are also undergoing life changing transformations.  Some doing P90X, others Insanity, others taking it one step at a time and becoming more active in life.  Whatever your situation is, DONT GIVE UP.  Keep working towards your goal of feeling healthier and better about yourself.

If you have stories to share, please email me and let me know!
