My wife says “I need to be committed if I want to do Tough Mudder here in IN in 3.5 months”.

Does she mean, I’m insane or I need to make a commitment? I’m confused!

Yes… I have decided to do Tough Mudder in Nov. 2011.

What is Tough Mudder you ask? They say “It is probably the Toughest Event on the Planet”.

“Tough Mudder is not your average lame-ass mud run or spirit-crushing ‘endurance’ road race. Our 10-12 mile obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. Forget finish times. Simply completing a Tough Mudder is a badge of honor.”

It also says “WARNING: Tough Mudder is 3-4 times longer and MUCH TOUGHER than a typical mud run such as Warrior Dash. On average, only 78% of participants finish the event. Only those in reasonably strong physical condition should enter.”

I have decided to step up my exercise program another notch and really “Bring IT” with P90X for the next 3.5 months. In addition to that, I will be incorporate running each morning and really working on my nutrition plan. I’m going to eat clean, also drinking my Shakeology daily to insure I’m getting everything I need to perform.

Nov. 2010, I would have never ever been able to do anything like this. I was sitting on the sideline watching others and cheering them on. Now I will be one of the ones others will be cheering on.

Get with me. I also started an Indiana Tough Mudder facebook event page if you would like to join the community.

Let me know what you are up to and if you need anything with your nutrition plan or fitness program I’m here to help and answer any questions you might have.

That is it this week, do your best and forget the rest!

Training videos coming soon!

I seriously can’t stop talking about Shakeology since I have started using it. It’s something that I believe in so much, so I’ve decided to write another post about it!

For the past 6 months now, I’ve been using Shakeology as a meal replacement every single day. It’s interesting how I came about using this product, because I was super skeptical about it at first, and actually refused to check it out for the first year I knew about it.

It wasn’t until I was heading to a Beachbody event the first of Jan. 2011 that I finally got exposed to Beachbody and Shakeology by my buddy Bradley Hall. We sat and talked about how it’s already had an impact on his life, so when I got home I decided to become a Coach right away to save money (because that is the way I am) and order a month’s supply of it and see what kind of health benefits I could experience. I knew that just one Shakeology sample wasn’t going to allow me to experience the benefits, and that’s why I needed to use it over a period of time. To make a long story short, I lost 10 lbs right off the bat, I had more energy each day while exercising than I’ve had in a long time, but I just felt “healthier” overall. Weird huh?

My wife Christina started using it every day, and within the first month she lost a few pounds and she wasn’t even trying! After we both experienced those types of Shakeology results, we were sold. We then both started talking about it to friends, family, people that we coach, and many people decided to get involved, and that’s when the amazing Shakeology reviews began rolling in. Now, pretty much all of our friends and family use Shakeology on daily basis, and have seen amazing results from it. One of my friends 25 lbs, best friend 10 lbs, another best friend 15 lbs, another friend 15 lbs, and the list goes on and on!

Shakeology works!

One of the best videos about Beachbody Shakeology that Beachbody has created is the “35 Doctors Don’t Lie” video.

35 doctors explain why Shakeology is such a unique product and why it should be used on a daily basis.

Many people immediately have an objection about the price, as I did, but if you use it how it’s supposed to be used, as a meal replacement, then it completely justifies the cost. Plus, now that I understand the health benefits and value in Shakeology, price is a non-issue because I know that I’m taking care of my body. How does it justify the cost? Before I started using Shakeology, I was going out for lunch or dinner, spending anywhere from $6-$10 at places like BW-3, Bob Evans, Fridays, and various Mexican restaurants but when I started using Shakeology as a meal replacement shake, I started saving money because it only costs me about $3 per serving.

Plus, there was no knowing what I was putting into my body from the food at those restaurants, but now I know that I’m eating something 100% healthy. Even if you don’t eat out for daily, you can’t look at it as an extra cost on top of what you’re already spending at the grocery store, but rather replacing what you would spend to purchase meals worth of groceries that every day. It just makes sense and it is so simple to make. I can make one in <1 minutes time.

If you’re interested in Shakeology and want to try it first before you spend the money on it, then I have Shakeology samples to send out. However, I will ONLY send you a Shakeology sample on 3 conditions:

(1) I’m your Beachbdoby Coach

(2) You’re 100% serious about purchasing if you enjoy the taste and understand the retail and wholesale cost of Shakeology

(3) You watch 100 doctors video and tell me what you liked best about it.

See, it costs me around $6 to send out 1 serving size packet, so it’s important that you’re serious about it.

If I’m not your coach, you can make me you coach by clicking here.

Beachbody Shakeology truly is an amazing product, and one that I’m completely passionate about because I’ve seen it impact not only my life, but the people I care about most, my friends and family. If you’re looking to purchase Shakeology, click here now.

* 1. Eat nori. This seaweed is more commonly seen in sheet form used when making sushi. Usually, bits of sushi (raw fish), pickled ginger and rice is placed on the sheet and rolled up, similar to making a burrito, for example. It is then sliced horizontally into round pieces which can be dipped into soy sauce or eaten alone. Other foods can also be rolled up in nori sheets–use your imagination. Besides the sheets, nori can also be purchased in shakers so small flakes can be shaken onto food as a seasoning, such as, salads, hot vegetables, sea food, rice, soups and sauces.

* 2. Consume spirulina. In powder form, spirulina can easily be added when making smoothies (if you don’t mind the green color) and in soups and sauces. I prefer 500 mg tablets in the Earthrise brand. Six tablets per day are recommended and I choose to disperse them throughout the day, usually after my meals. For example, I would take two tablets after each of my three main meals.

* 3. Eat dulse. Although low in sodium, dulse has a natural salty taste and is high in flavor, making more it an excellent seasoning for vegetables, meats, sauces and soups. In shaker form it is delicious in popcorn, in place of salt. Kelp can be found in powder form, making it easy to sprinkle on food such as soups, sauces, salads, vegetables or one can take it in tablet form.

* 4. Enjoy kelp. This seaweed can be found in powder form, making it a great salt substitute and easy to sprinkle on food such as soups, sauces, salads, vegetables. You can also choose to simply take it in tablet form.

* 5. Have Fun Experimenting with Seaweed While Increasing Your Red Blood Cells: Buy nori sheets, take one out and take a bite out of it. Crumble it up. Sprinkle it on your salad or even in a sandwich or an omelet (it’s great on eggs!). If you are not used to it, invite seaweed into your meals slowly. Have fun with seaweed. Make a big bowl of popcorn and sprinkle or shake some nori in it or perhaps some dulse (or both). Add it to foods you are already eating–you do not have to know how to create Asian dishes in order to enjoy seaweed.When you discover ways to enjoy seaweed every day, whether it’s in the form of tablets like spirulina and kelp or something you can sprinkle, you’ll experience an increasing sense of well-being as more healthy red blood cells develop and deliver nutrients and oxygen to every part of your body.

What Are Chia Seeds?

1. Help weight loss. Chia seeds are popular for weight loss. They reduce food cravings by preventing some of the food that you eat from getting absorbed into your system. This blockage of calorie absorption makes them a great diet helper.
2. Feel fuller faster: They can also help your diet by making you feel full. This is because they absorb 10 times their weight in water, forming a bulky gel.
3. Hydration for athletes: They are also great for athletes because the “chia gel” can hydrate the body.
4. Reduce your blood pressure: There’s evidence to suggest they can reduce blood pressure.
5. Omega-3: They are the richest plant source of Omega-3 (the vital fats that protect against inflammation—such as arthritis—and heart disease). In fact, they contain more Omega-3 than salmon!
6. Benefits for diabetes: Because chia seeds slow down how fast our bodies convert carbohydrates into simple sugars, studies indicate they can control blood sugar. This leads scientists to believe chia seeds may have great benefits for diabetics.
7. They are easier to digest than flax seeds, and don’t need to be ground up.

Did you know there are 500 mg of Chia (seed) meal in each serving of Shakeology?

Yes it is true!
