ah, the turtle ..thanks Tony

There's a reason the age-old story of the hare and the tortoise is still around. It's true. Hares may be quick off the starting block, but they usually crash and burn before reaching the finish line. Tortoises, on the other hand, pace themselves for the long haul and reach their goal.

The difference between them, however, is not speed. It's consistency. Consistency is probably the single most important factor to success in any endeavor. It's showing up for yourself time after time after time. Whether your goal is to lose weight, increase flexibility, improve strength, or learn to play the piano, showing up is half the battle, and it's the only way to get anywhere in the long run.
So focus on consistency first, and worry about ramping it up later—the momentum will build naturally. Before you know it, you'll be cruising along with ease and you'll sail right by that hare like he's standing still, which shouldn’t be too hard to do when he's passed out under a bush.

Bridal Show

Last night I was at a bridal show. No, I am not getting married. I already am married. I was there selling beachbody products. My company, bodybasicsct.com was there, representing health and fitness to the people. My upline coach Annie was there to help me out. I can not say enough about how helpful she is to me. I hope someday I am just as helpful to my coaches, well when I get some. Want to make 25% on beachbody products ? contact me..... back to the bridal show. It was held at an old manor style house. All us vendors were set up outside in lovely tents. Those things are huge. The manor has a garden setting and must be gorgeous when all the flowers are in bloom. I spoke to quite a few brides. Men and women alike want to look great for their wedding day. After all those photos will be around forever. Many people have heard of P90X or insanity. They have seen the infomercials on tv. Others know someone who is doing one of the programs. Spreading the word about Shakeology was key. Love that stuff ! I am still quite surprised when I speak with people who have never head of beachbody. They need to get up early and watch some tv. People like to talk about getting healthy and are geniunely interested in what beachbody has to offer. Like I told so many last night, they have something for every fitness level and interest. You don't have to be buff to start a program. You just need the desire to do it. Push play every day. I gave samples of P90X Recovery drink. It is so good after a workout, tastes like an orange creamsicle. I met some very nice folks and I hope to become their coach. I am looking forward to teh next bridal show.

Shakeology

I'm back! I had a paper cut on a fingertip turn into a nightmare. Not able to type well but I could not stay away. So my thoughts are on Shakeology today. Sadly I will be out before my next shipment. This makes me very unhappy but I gave away a few packets as samples. Fingers crossed that those people take the plunge and buy some so they can experience the wonders of this tasty concoction.
I was really skeptical about what this stuff was going to taste like. I thought it was going to be horrible like SlimFast you buy at the grocery store. I thought I would hate it and be stuck with a box. I was pleasantly surprised.
I ordered chocolate. I opened the packet and was greated with a chocolately aroma. Okay this might not be so bad. I added crushed ice and half water and half milk. Turned my motor boat, hand held mixer, on and gave it a good long blend. It smelled wonderful. I poured it in a glass and took a sip. Whammo ! I was sold. This was damn good. I couldnt wait to try different 'recipes'. Mmmm !
I finally bought some greenberry. Not my fav. I like to add a lot of fruit. Peaches, blueberries, strawberries and juices in various combinations. I found my favorite green berry recipe. It tastses like a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich. Here it is, 1 pack of greenberry, grape juice, strawberries and peanut butter. Blend !!! and enjoy.
