Welcome back! I know you have been back and forth a couple times here. Did you know I am a customer of Beachbody but also make money as an Authorized Distributor? Curious? Use the Contact Form for more info

I just finished my day 10 workout of Shaun T Insanity which was Plyometrics Cardio Circuit.

I have to say that workout is much easier now than it was the first day. It’s one of those things, “with practice makes perfect”. It seems every day I get a little stronger and a little faster.

To top it off my diet has been changed A LOT. I have wandered away from the high grain, high meat protein, high dairy diet. I now eat a wide variety of raw veggies like broccoli and carrots, plus I like to have on hand strawberries, blueberries, red grapes, apples, and bananas.

I have been drinking 2 quarts of water a day for almost the last week and my P90X Peak Health Formula Multi-Vitamin Supplement will be here shortly. I am trying an “Optimal Nutrition” approach towards energy while cutting back stimulates like Caffeine (Though I do enjoy my occasional cup of coffee or espresso).

I will be updating as the days pass to let you kn0w about my energy levels and what I am eating so check back periodically for that.

My recent Day 10 video update for (Shaun T Insanity)

P.S. I took my most recent photos today right before I did my day 10 workout. I pulled up my original P90X day 1 photo and compared them. It’s hilarious how far I have come, sure I am not a body builder but I am in damn good shape now. I feel strong all around and so incredibly healthy. It’s all thanks to believing in myself that no matter what I would achieve what I wanted. I have faith in you and your ability to never look back!

Looking for weight loss motivation?

Sometimes it takes more than just saying you are ready to do something. There is usually a pivotal point in a person’s life when they realize that it’s time to stop saying and time to start doing.

Maybe you are at this point. but even so it takes a bit more than just doing. While you are ready to take action and make that big change and you find yourself full of energy and determination to start but in many cases over time, maybe a couple days or a couple weeks, your weight loss motivation will hinder and sometimes decline below your determination.

There are several things that can hinder or even kill your weight loss motivation:

• Not seeing fast enough results (no change on the scale after working hard)
• Maybe you are watching the scale and you have gained “weight”
• Perhaps you don’t have anyone to drive you besides yourself

Let’s face it, exercise hurts. If it wasn’t hard or a challenge then every single person would be fit and healthy because they would love to workout.Our body wants nothing to do with pain and working out hurts, your body and mind will fight you unless you have solid convictions towards your weight loss motivation. But sometimes, even so, your mind can win by telling you to take a day off… And you listen.

Come on, we all are human. We all get lazy. We all find reasons and justifications to avoid doing something even though we know it’s good for us.

• So how do you find and stay consistent with your weight loss?
• How do you create a solid source of weight loss motivation for days, weeks, and even years to come?
• How do you stay accountable to your fitness and your health?

I am going to tell you right now that the best way to stay active and healthy is to know deep within yourself that you are ready to take the challenge no matter what it may be. That you will be willing to fight back even when the scale tells you nothing is happening, you will use that and continue to push forward.

You need to have a solid goal in mind that you will do what it takes, even when things move slowly or things in life hinder progress, you will pick up and push yourself.

Having continuous weight loss motivation has a lot to do with Mindset. You must know within yourself, within your core being, that you will accept every situation as a challenge. Even if life throws you off for a week and you have greater concerns, at the end of the week your fitness will pick back up.

What I want to tell you is what i feel to be the strongest motivator, an incredibly powerful source of weight loss motivation – I am talking beyond pictures, beyond video, beyond weight and measurements.

What is this priceless source of weight loss motivation?

It is finding and connecting with those who are where you are and those who have gone beyond where you are. Connect with like minds. You see, surrounding yourself with those that will support you without waiver will be your number one tool.

You can push yourself and have the strongest convictions of your life, but there will always be days when you just plain don’t want to do anything. When you can’t muster the strength to push yourself forward.

Imagine how powerful a tool that on those days when you can’t seem to crawl. Picture having a group or people, a community of like minds, a mass consciousness of better health and determination. Suddenly you can connect with those that have been there, they offer you the words to get moving and remind you of why the heck your here in the first place.

• Connect with others.
• Stay accountable not just to yourself but with those you surround yourself with.
• Join a community forum or local group with unwavering convictions like your own.

I tend to say this a lot because I feel it is very powerful and true.

“Alone we may try but Together we Will Succeed”

If you’re looking for weight loss motivation beyond yourself then look towards a community or towards a health coach to drive you towards your goals. Telling yourself you want something is the first step, taking action towards your goals is second, and finally connecting with like minds should be third.

We are social beings, even if your shy, have low self-esteem, or don’t think you can do it. I have faith in you and I Know You Can Do It!

Now join a community of absolutely powerful beings all driven towards a goal of better health and fitness. Each person has their own life, their own goals, their own struggles, and their own successes.

The Beachbody Community, WOWY (Work Out With You), the Beachbody Forums, and Team Beachbody Coaches (Like me – BetterBody90) are irreversibly dedicated to helping others reach their dreams.

Well it’s exactly as they say… Insane!

Nothing More and Nothing Less.

If you have been following me for awhile you know I am a huge fan of P90X and it’s approach at muscle confusion and overall physical conditioning. I got huge results from consistent use of P90X in Round 1 though I started to get lazy in Round 2.

Enter Shaun T Insanity! I must tell you that right now I am just as pumped to be physically active as I was in my first couple weeks of P90X. Insanity is just heart pounding, straight forward, No messing around Cardio!

*One warning to those of you ready to brave Insanity – Eat Very Well! You need tons of simple and complex carbohydrates to supplement the huge burn of calories you will achieve by following the workouts. I found out all to hard when I was several days in and had not been eating properly (No Veggies, Fruits, mainly just Grains and Dairy), I could hardly complete one of my workouts and knew it was time to make a change!

My diet has made a 180 when it comes to nutrients so expect updates on that as I have found a massive increase in Strength and overall Energy just from eating better. Keep in mind that vitamins work best in Synergy so taking Just Vitamin C or Just Vitamin A is really quite pointless.

It’s a great combination of Vitamins and Minerals plus antioxidants that will properly fuel your body and allow for recovery. Also important to note, exercise actually causes done of stress and destruction on your body, it’s when you rest and recovery that you grow in size and strength. Remember that! Your sleep is Just as important as you Fitness!

Here is a look at my first week of Shaun T Insanity in the form of my VLOG!
