First of all, let me start by saying Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you. It has been an especially rough month for many of you dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and a rough year for virtually all of us. But things will get better as […]
Last night, I sat in church and listened to Alistair Begg talking about Mark 14:3-9. In verse 3 it says, “While He was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure […]
“I lost about 20 lbs using Shakeology and walking everyday after I was released from the hospital. Once I was medically cleared to exercise, continuing to use Shakeology and completing the full P90X program, I lost a further 52 lbs, countless inches and 28% body fat. I am truly most […]
Just a little while ago, I had a revelation that I needed to be receptive to receiving and acting on. That epiphany was that it is stupid to be a Team Beachbody Coach and at almost 62 to still think in my head that I am a runner. […]

When I started out doing P90X, it exceeded my expectations of what in-home workouts could be. I tried other workouts before; some I enjoyed, while I thought others were just cheesy. After P90X brought me great results, I wanted to mix it up a bit so I gave Insanity a […]
While I had some things to do in the kitchen this morning, I clicked on “Shuffle” on my iPhone and Business of the 21st Century with Robert T. Kiyosaki started playing. I’ve listened to it a couple of times before, and what sticks in my mind is that we are […]
I have been overweight. It is not fun. There is no easy way out, and it takes time and effort to obtain or regain a healthy body. When there is a goal of losing weight, one of the hardest things to do is to reach out to someone and ask […]
Honestly, I am not looking forward to a year with “13” in it, but what if it could be our luckiest year ever? I have a to-do-list and the things on the list have to come first in my daily activities, but there are exceptions. I am a fan of […]
The reason that I ask is that I am not. When you are 61 and have a 7 and 5 year old and they are doing running club at school and you are coaching, Girls Scouts and you have to be a Girl Scout to help out with […]

No, not the 2001 movie, not the 2009 movie and not the Operation Fast and Furious. I am a Team Beachbody coach and I don’t mix politics with anything and especially my blog. What is fast and furious is the pace at Beachbody Headquarters in Santa Monica and here is […]
Isn’t it great having a partner to work out with? You seem to push a little harder, sweat a little more, and somehow find that extra gear to kick it up a notch. You motivate and inspire each other, keep each other accountable, and it can even produce a little […]

If I had known that I was going to fail so many times in my life, I would have kept track. Maybe I could be setting some record. The P90X test version was first marketed in 2005 and bombed. Even people at Beachbody said that the project should be abandoned. […]
