Here we go with monthly challenge number four. Each month will have a different theme or goal. Also in the interest of bettering our health, each person should make a commitment to make one healthy change for the entire month. The goals are completely up to you.
The challenge for this month is WEIGHT LOSS/GAIN. Most of us are looking to shed some pounds. Perhaps you're goal is to gain a few. Either way, leave a comment with your name, what the goal is and what change you will be making for the month. Here are mine:
Goal - 10 pound weight loss
Change - Increase water intake
I have started a thread on the Team BeachBody Message boards. You do need to register to participate on there, but let me tell you there are tons of resources and it is FREE! To register click here, then click on the join box, then scroll all the way to the bottom and click on try free membership. There is a paid membership option with lots of extra support like meal planning, access to BeachBody TV, a blog, fitness and nutritional articles, recipes, and they even give you a discount on products if you go this route. But the pay option is not necessary so please don't do it unless you see some value in what it offers.
If you want to join in the fun, just leave a comment on here or the facebook group with your goal and change.
Decide for yourself to make a change now. Commit to something. Find your success down the road. Anything that promises fast/instant results is not sustainable. Now is the time to take your life and health into your own hands. The only thing holding you back is yourself.
Here's to a healthier us!

April challenge and May plans
So due to the release of Asylum I've got a change of plans! I'm sticking with P90X and will finish phase two, which is up through week 7. I'm skipping the recovery week and headed straight for the Asylum. I previewed the workout last night but switching out Plyo X for the Speed & Agility workout and let me tell you this is going to push me to a whole new level. My shoulders (traps and neck too) are more sore tonight than they have been since I can remember. My calf muscles feel like they've been beaten with a hammer. The crazy thing is - I LOVE IT!
That being said I'm still plowing through P90X. I'm seeing gains in pretty much every routine and feel incredible. I've added a supplement and will give it a month to see how it works. I'm right on track with my ab moves and could actually hit 6000 before the end of the month.
I've been a slacker with my not eating after 8 PM, but I feel like my metabolism is on fire and I need the extra fuel to sleep. I'm trying to eat cleaner, but not always succeeding there. I'm also going to stop focusing on trying to lose weight and try and listen to my body more. If it says "feed me" I will. One thing that I am super stoked for is that I'm going to start playing basketball competitively again. Games start in one week and I feel like I'll actually be able to contribute. I never would have thought this to be possible a year ago!
Start thinking about your goals for May as I'll have that thread up and running here shortly.
Keep Pushing Play!

Tony Horton's take on the Beachbody Coaching Opportunity
Boys and girls,
I'm unaware of your financial situation but I do believe that you're reading this page because you care about your health and fitness. If you have plenty of income and love your job then what I’m about to tell you might not be for you. If you're not thrilled with the way you make a living, would like extra income, love Beachbody products, like the way they make you look and feel, enjoy helping other people feel and look better, enjoy setting your own hours, get excited about being the captain of your own ship as opposed to working for the man - then listen up.
The reality is, your health and fitness moves beyond you. It impacts the people around you. You (whether you like it or not) have the power to change lives based solely on your own personal transformation. Inadvertently you become a catalyst for change. This is how I got started. I was clueless, asked a few questions based on my need to be strong and healthy, stayed with it and people in my life wanted to know what I was doing. Simple yet powerful.
If you want to share what you've learned with people in your life who want better health (and could use extra income in the process) then you should consider becoming a Team Beachbody Coach. I felt so strongly about this program that I’ve encouraged many of my friends to become coaches, even my own sister. She is doing great (even though my contract with Beachbody won’t let me help her). She is a perfect example of someone who had plenty of doubt and hesitation regarding the coaching opportunity and still found a way to make it work for her. A busy working wife and mother with three very active kids doesn't sound like a good candidate to start an in-home multi-level marketing company. Did you say multi level marketing? What? Ick! You mean pyramid scheme right? Okay chill out. All these fears would be true if BeachBody were selling hats or kitty liter, but this is Beachbody people! The number 1 in-home fitness company on the planet! P90X is steadily becoming the most popular fitness system in US history. Shakeology is the revolutionary replacement meal on the market today. We sell life-altering change - not soap. Tens of thousands of regular folk around this country are doing something they love because of this coach opportunity.
The unemployment rate still hovers around 10% but it doesn't have to be that way if more people were willing to see that new opportunities exist all around them. The Team Beachbody Coaching opportunity is one of them. Health care companies, pharmaceutical companies and our government are not capable of solving this obesity crisis and we can't wait around for them to do it. The crisis is now and the answer is YOU! I know that sounds a bit Rah Rah but it's true.
Cynics don't need to apply, but if you're sick and tired of the status quo and want to make a difference in your own life and in the lives of those around you, then open the door. The two major issues of our time - the health care issue and unemployment rate could be resolved if a million more people in this country decided to get healthy and share the wealth. This is a brand new industry waiting to explode. It's not happening in boardrooms or factories – it’s happening in the homes of tens of thousands of Team Beachbody Coaches and in the homes of their customers. With a tiny investment (actually the company is waiving the enrollment fee through the end of 2010) and a willingness to help people the sky's the limit.

Thursday, March 14
For me this is week 5 of P90X round 2. That means its time for some muscle confusion! Monday and Wednesday are new workouts and I forgot how killer these ones are! The back and biceps disc is pure pleasure and I'm not sure why I didn't think so the first time through (oh yeah, corn cob pull ups). Just finished my Yoga X for the week and am feeling great. The weight is holding steady right now. That must mean I'm on a plateau and I know that I'm going to bust through it here very soon. I'd like to drop another 10 pounds by the end of this round, but need to dial in the nutrition a little better.
Sticking to my guns on the abs. I missed a couple of days, but have put in some extra reps to make up for it. As of tonight I'm 30 ahead of schedule (both obliques and standard so 90 total). A couple more big days and that gap will widen.
Hope you are pushing play.

Looking for some business partners
So here's the deal. I'm looking for a few people to join me as a Beachbody coach. I've had a couple of coaches placed under me by my upline. I'm not thrilled at the idea of generating income for these people that I don't know. Well, at least not out of the gate. I'd much rather have somebody that I know directly under me so that they can reap the rewards. Are you that person?
What does it take to be a Beachbody coach? Let me spell it out:
1. A desire to achieve your own personal fitness and nutrition goals
2. A mindset focused on helping other people with their goals
That is it. You don't have to be a personal trainer. You don't have to be a nutrition expert. You don't even need an awe inspiring transformation story. You have to want to better yourself and those around you.
I know that these programs and products work. I've seen it in my own life. There is no way that I could have lost 50 pounds in nine months if they didn't work. You read that right. I've lost 50 pounds by changing my eating habits and using Beachbody workout programs. Why wouldn't I want to tell everybody about them? I know that you can have similar results, and I would love to be there every step of the way with you. Are you ready to commit to changing your life?
I've got the ball rolling on quite a few things and I will tell you that BIG things are coming to Utah County with Beachbody. The window of opportunity is now! If you want to know more, simply watch the video at the bottom of this post. If you are ready to go click here. If you want some more information there is a Super Saturday this week (April 9) that will be held in Pleasant Grove, UT. I would love to have you join me to learn more about Beachbody and where it is going. To offer incentive for your time, if you join me at the meeting and sign up as a coach I will cover your $40 initial investment. Is anybody else offering you an opportunity to start your own business for free?
I am committed to this for the long haul. This is not a get rich quick scheme. Nor is it a get ripped quick scheme. The workouts and the business take time to see results. I can promise you that I will be successful with both. Who is with me?
