After the holiday

The holidays are a tough time, nutritionally speaking, when you're conscious about what and how much you eat.  The typical fare we have to deal with is just chocked full of calories, fat, sodium, and it's amazing at the quantities people will pack away.

I did well this Thanksgiving though, for probably the first time.  It probably helped that I got home late from work, and in the middle of dinner.  I stuck to lean Turkey meat, and a 1/2 cup of stuffing.  I gave in and has a 1" slice of apple pie, but that was it.  No binge, no stuffing myself full of pre-dinner dips and chips, no calorie dense drinks.  For the first time I can remember I left not feeling stuffed and gross.

I also got in one of the Insanity workouts in the morning before flying: Pure Cardio.   Not being much of an a.m. workout guy, it was killer.

Yesterday was the P90X MC2 One on One: Base and Back.  REALLY hard workout.  Followed up today with my own Cardio Martial Arts program, that almost made me hurl. 

We have 2 new cats in the house right now, and they're a handful.  We have the youngest kitten integrated pretty well with Curi, who we've had for 7 years, but Boots is taking a bit longer.  I have to travel again next week so they will be spending the time apart until both Kim and I are back again.  Can't wait until they're used to each other and we won't have to worry about it.

Though it's been a holiday weekend, my mind is racing right now with developing an action plan to really grow my Beachbody business to the next level.  I'm already pulling in a decent amount of money, but I have a 3 year goal of $5000 per week.  I work at it, bust my butt, but I feel like I can be doing more... just need to figure out what that is.  That level of income is entirely possible, and I know I will get there, but it's something that is pushing me and I'm ready to keep it rolling and growing full steam ahead.   In doing so I'm ready to help my Team duplicate that process.  Seeing my friends get to that level of success as well is really what this is about.

  1. Derek, Sounds as if you did well with the feast. I had a similar experience and for the first time I can remember in recent history. Got some good news on Thanksgiving day when Maura txted me that she had just added her second coach and thus qualified for Emerald advancement this coming Thursday. We are both signed up for Summit and have in mind being Diamond when we arrive. We appreciate the work you're putting in to advance our overall organization and look forward to your making your goals since that probably means we've made ours. :)
