I’m sitting here in my workout room/office, creating marketing tools, catching up on Face Book messages, emails and texts, thinking strategically about the week and my goals. And, I have to admit, feeling a bit overwhelmed. Not in a frightened, scared out of my wits kind of way. I just have so much I want to accomplish, so much I want to learn, so many goals yet to meet, so many people I want to help. It’s really exciting but every once in a while, like now, this twinge of insecurity creeps in to mess with me.

What triggered this? I think it was a brief moment yesterday. It was probably all of 15 seconds, if that. I had an unexpected opportunity. But, I froze. I was intimidated. The person before me was a highly motivated and inspirational fitness and health enthusiasts and more importantly a dear friend whom I greatly admire. In the room, was also a highly accredited trainer, my trainer, my mentor. I knew what to do, how to do it but I failed to do it. A twinge of doubt stood between me and the opportunity and therefore my goal. I have been kicking myself since. BUT, I am determined. I know that I have what it takes to acheive my goals. I KNOW it!

Why am I sharing this? Because, I know that as  you journey through life, speaking specifically in this case of your quest for health and fitness, that doubt, fear,and uncertainty will make an appearance. There will be moments, even days when it just seems impossible; where the weaknesses appear bigger than the strengths andyou are tempted to surrender. DON’T. It’s just feelings and feelings can be conquered. The goal, the dream, the destiny is far greater than a momentary feeling of insecurity.

I have heard it said so many times, that people quit just short of reaching their goal. So true. That moment yesterday may have made me question myself, my ability. It may have been enough to cause me to reconsider. NOT! I refuse. Instead, I will parlay that moment into opportunity. I now recognize a weakness. I can face it and charge ahead in my mission. And that is what you will need to do along the way as well. Face your fears. Hit them head on. Knock them into next week. Take charge and move forward in your mission.

So, as I sit here on this step up box I’m calling a chair, my butt beginning to hurt, needing a shower and hungry, I am strengthening my resolve. I am looking ahead, knowing I have something to overcome but certain that I can and will do just that. You will to! together, we will SUCCEED! Right?

Let’s do it…let’s change our lives and the world!

Well, folks. This is the very first blog from Freedom Fitness. I am so excited to launch this new company; to share my passion for health and fitness; to offer hope, encouragement and opportunity for a better life. It can be yours and it can begin Now. No need to wait. Today is your new beginning. It is the moment that your re-invention begins. And it is CRAZY exciting!

So, where do you begin? First you DECIDE. Webster defines it as “making a final choice on a course of action.” That action is to lose weight, eat healthy, clean, whole foods, to get in shape. Once you decide, you COMMIT and that is ”to put into action deliberately”. In other words, you make a plan, create a strategy and DO IT! No excuses, no whining, no delay…just do it! And then, only then, do you SUCCEED which is to ”attain the desired result.” 

My goal, passion and desire is to lead you on an incredible journey where you discover the you that has been lost in the chaos and circumstances of life; to see your health restored; to find you in the very best shape of your life. There will be no promise of ease. There will be no quick fixes. There will be no promise of painless effort. But…there will be love, support, encouragement, hope, truth. And there will be results if you DECIDE and COMMIT to the process.

And that leads me to the question. Are you ready? Will you join me in this life changing, crazy, exciting journey?
