Vibram Five-Fingers Meet Insanity!
I would like to extend a big Congratulations to my new Vibram Five-Fingers who completed their first Insanity workout this morning! :)
I have had a few stress fractures in my feet before as well as lots of issues with my IT bands so I was quite curious to see how my body would respond. After wearing them all day yesterday, I awoke this morning simply feeling like my calves actually had muscle in them but no pain. And during the workout, I felt like I had great stability and grip to the floor yet they're very lightweight. I didn't feel like I was pounding the floor or having to work harder either.
So....I am super glad so far that they're part of my team! ;)

Greenberry may be my new favorite!
Yes, this IS Greenberry! Just water mixed with a mix of frozen blackberries, blueberries, & raspberries.

Here's what I see: a LOT of people who WANT to make a change but don't commit.
And, for the most part here's why:
1. People are afraid of change. Until you're sicker of staying the same than you are of change, then you won't succeed.
2. Low self-esteem. You don't value yourself enough to think you can make it through to the end. The ironic thing is that this is PRECISELY the reason you should commit as your achievement will boost your self-esteem.
3. Some people think they can do it on their own. But, chances are that's not you since you're reading this! If they "CAN" do it on their own then why aren't they reaching their goals?
4. They don't think they have time. In reality, we all have 24 hours each day and there are people who are doing MORE than you every single day. It's all about what you make a priority, what's important to you, and how you manage those minutes and hours. If you think you don't have time, talk to me and we'll "find" some together. Or better yet, simply grid out the hours in the day each week, block off your non-negotiables and see what's left. You'll be surprised. And if NOTHING is left, then question the activities on there and see if they are truly worth it.
5. The biggest one. Money. Somehow people think they can't afford a $4 meal each day when they regularly purchase Starbucks, go out to eat and pay anywhere from $5-$15 easily on a meal, pay a couple hundred dollars on cable that makes them sit lethargically on the couch, purchased processed foods at the store that are overpriced. The bottom line is that if you really WANT something, you'll DO WHAT IT TAKES to get it. Sell something on ebay. Take your clothes (or your kids) to a consignment shop. Borrow it. Find a few people to take the challenge with you. Those commissions will pay for your own challenge pack. The more skin you have in it, the more successful you'll be!
