What's Different?

Well, as much as it pains me, I'm still not ready to put additional stress on my ankle by working out for now. This is still a great opportunity for me to work on getting my eating habits more focused.

Previously, a situation like this would mean I'd be eating waaaaaay too much, and foods with a nutritional value similar to packing peanuts. One of the best choices I ever made was to make sure I don't have that stuff in the kitchen.

One of the surest ways to avoid sabotaging your fitness goals is to make sure your kitchen is stocked with items that are reinforcements to your mission.

Update

Well...it looks it's been awhile since I made an entry in my blog...

A few things have happened...

I completed 2 rounds of Shift Shop, which thoroughly kicked my BUTT...and I'm looking forward to doing it again...

For the first time, I completed 21 DAY FIX EXTREME, and I can honestly say, it will be the LAST (OY VEY!)

And on October 3, I started doing my first Beachbody program utilizing  NO DUMBBELLS! It came out late last year: an MMA--inspired program called CORE DE FORCE.

I was really enjoying the punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. I was plugging right along until...

I woke up on October 18, couldn't put any weight on my right ankle. After about an hour of perfecting my zombie walk, I got a ride to the local emergency room. After some x-rays, I found out my right ankle has some "erosive damage." As it turns out, my right ankle is pretty much missing that nice squishy cartilage to cushion it.

I'll find out on October 23 what the next steps are: medication or some sort of surgery.

In the meantime, I've been using this as an opportunity to get my eating habits dialed in, as well as refocusing my mind and spirit...

I know I'm still working on being the best coach I can be...on building my business...on improving myself...on inspiring others to achieve their own goals...
