Ok well here is what has been going on lately. I have spending a lot of time with the Team Beachbody coaching to learn as much as I can and become a better coach to my clients (a list that continues to grow) In the past two weeks I have read a book called "The Tipping Point" which is about how the little things and right people can make a huge difference in how something spreads in society. I thought it was really good and worth the read. The next book I read was called "Don't sweat the small stuff" it is a short little book about how to not let the little things in your world stress you out. There were 100 little things that you can do to make your life less stressful and to let things roll off you back. I can't remember all of them but the ones that stuck out to me I find myself remembering and working on when I can. It really has helped me mellow out and trust me that is something that I needed this week, it has been crazy busy all week long and I didn't even really stop to breath. The good news is the quarter is over after today so I don't have to teach for two weeks! Now I am reading a book called "Eat that Frog" I am about 25% done with it and it is a book on how to beat procrastination and become more productive and successful. It is another one that has been worth the read so far and it has given me plenty of ideas to get more done in a day so that I don't feel so buried all the time with work, school and fitness stuff. My workouts are going really good as well and I only have 9 workouts left before I finish INSANITY, I don't know if I already mentioned this or not but when I finish I am going to take it easy a little bit and do Tai Chang for 90 days to work on balance, flexibility, and piece of mind. I am very much looking forward to it because after 9 months of beating on my body something kind of fierce I am ready to recover and let the muscles relax and grow. I think when I am done I will be all set up to do that round of 10-Minute trainer and be primed for my marathon training. Don't forget I have a half marathon in 6 weeks but I am not too worried about it, I am pretty darn sure after 63 days of INSANITY I will be good to go and ready for that thing. The way I see it I got over 11 miles before having to walk when I did my first one and that was during P90X which does not train your cardio nearly as much as INSANITY does. I am excited for it and when I finish INSANITY I am going to take a day or two and just run it out and see how it feels and how far I make it, that should give me a good idea what to expect and if I will need to do some training for it after INSANITY.
I want to end with this, I know it sound cheesy but I have really enjoyed the books I have been reading and although I have never really been a reader of "Self Help" books and I don't know if I would even call these books that, they have really help clear my head and have a more positive outlook. I feel like great things are coming (one thing already did this week) and I feel like my coaching is about to really take off, I have a great group that I really feel like I can help and I hope I am able to. Well until next time (will try and be sooner)
