Not only do they make peanut butter in individual servings, but they happen to represent what Angela I want to be when we grow old...spotlighted by Wiliard Scott for crossing the century mark.
In Dawn's journal she wrote how during her cardio this morning she had a revelation of sorts. See, Dawn and I along with a few other PNP girls are going to compete in Figure and Bikini this spring. And don't think for a hot second that we are a bunch of lifetime fitness chicks either!
I'm proud to say I will be on stage with a group of mommies who have lost well over 400lbs. We've been fat (me more than most), we have kids, we weren't athletes in school, and we are just women who want to do things we've never done before. We want to be hot, sexy, sport some bling, but most importantly, we want to do what other people talk about doing.
While she was putting in time on her treadmill she thought about a cousin she lost when he was only a child. She then thought of mom's who have died of cancer leaving behind children. The song "I can only imagine" came on and she thought to herself these people would love another shot at life to achieve one more thing in life.
We are all so lucky to be able to do what we want with our life. There are hardly ANY of you reading this blog today that have any legitimate excuses to not start changing your life. I've got girls at PNP right now shooting to LOSE weight during the holidays. I have some who want this to be the first holiday they don't gain...they want a maintenance month. What do you want? What if this is your last year? Do you want it filled with regrets you didn't do more to live longer, live happier, and accomplish more? Not me.
I love this time of year. It's when I start asking my PNP clients to set their 2010 goals. I help them get their food and exercise in order with my programs. We will start a three month give up a bad habit challenge thread in our private forums. From Splenda to pastries we have things we want to stop to get our results in 2010.
The key is that as a group we have learned that life is meant to be filled with happiness and satisfied with your lifestyle choices. Some of us have huge goals of competing, running marathons, becoming a certified trainer, and being a triathlete. Others simply want to stand up proudly at the age of 100 grinning wildly that they made it to Smuckers! I'm so proud to be the trainer of so many women who are going to get what THEY want out of 2010.
Girls, be on the watch! You got your new training schedule and this month we're doing like last year and fixing to do our goal setting, reflection of 2009, and organizing to be ready for the New Year!
