I spent the last 3 days in a Rich Dad, Poor Dad
“Launch Your Business” Seminar. It was so long, every day from 9 a- 7 p. But, I learned a lot about real estate and have some REALY BIG dreams about my own business. I can’t go into too many details because my idea is unique, and I’ve already told too many people. When I presented my idea to the class, they thought it was a great idea and gave me positive information about how to make it better. But, I can tell you that the main idea is that I’ve found a way to help mentor people like me through the process of getting fit and reaching a healthy weight. It’s going to be big y’all. I have to do a whole lot of research and studying so that I make sure I do this right.
Tonight was Week 2 of the church fitness class. It was great! People always ask, how do I know if a certain food is healthy? So I taught the class the 2 tests. The first is test is “Is it a food that God made?” and the other is “Was it here 100 years ago?” If you answer yes to both of theses, chances are that it’s a healthy food in moderation…. Last week after teaching Week 1, I realized that all of my students were ladies, so I spiced up the exercise routine. I added a few hip swirls that I learned from cardio strip fit class and some booty lifting exercises at the end. I guess it wasn’t too sexy for the church ladies, because they were giggling and had fun with it. I also had to step it up a notch, and make them work a little harder, after all it was week 2. We were all sweating by the end of class, and I was even a little sore. When I laughed after class I definitely felt the effects of my ab rountine. At least I know it’s working. It’s so weird to say “Man, I worked myself out” Well I’m off to study, so that one day I’ll actually be certified and not just making stuff up.

I guess that’s the question you’re probably asking. I’ve never gone this long without blogging. The answer is a little complicated, yet simple. I’ve taken some time to do some spiritual growth. I’ve been reading and studying the bible and reading “The Purpose Driven® Life
.” A month ago, I had to find my bible buried in my trunk, and I never imagined that now I’d be attending church every Sunday. But beyond that, I’m on the Church’s 51st Anniversary committee as co-chairman with my Big Little Sister. AND…I’m teaching a fitness and nutrition class at the church that starts on Oct. 12th. Can you believe it? I told God, I was ready to work, but I meant at a law firm, but clearly he thought I meant in the church. Lesson Learned: Be Very Specific what you pray for, because you just might get it!…
The only physical activity I’ve done is the last week was my one personal training session with Lyle. I just didn’t have the urge. Last Night, my body felt so stiff and “blah” that I made up my mind that I had go running this morning. It was a beautiful 68 degrees outside, when I went to the park. I put on all my gear (I put on my Nike + Thing
in my new shoe pouch
, my new shoes, my waist slimming band
, my Belt
to hold my keys and phone and my iPod
.) However, despite all of my technological preparations, I was only able to run for about 5 minutes before everything started hurting. When you don’t run, you lose it so quickly it almost seems unfair, last week I was running up to 20 minutes! But I guess something is better than nothing. I did a total of about 2 miles. I also finally signed up for the Get Fit 4 Christ 5K that Lyle wants us to run on Oct. 10th. Will I be ready? …I had an okay day, as far as food was concerned.
