Getting Ready To Get Ready

The Biggest Loser competition is about 8 days away. I'm impatient so that 8 days is going to be a killer. Meanwhile, let's talk about my fridge. As you can see, if you are brave enough to watch the horror show video below, my fridge is a wreck. It's not always a wreck but it's suffering a post-holiday over abundance of leftovers and not a lot of good healthy foods since we've been away from home at meal times for quite a while.

Just before Biggest Loser starts I'm going to empty the fridge and freezer, deep clean it and then fill it back up with healthy foods. Mostly fruits and veggies. I'm going to be doing a lot of my famous "green smoothies" again which are a combination of fruits and veggies and are usually a bright or dark green color that sparks conversation where I ever I happen to be drinking one.

The fantastic news is that my business partner, Alicia, will be joining and doing this competition with me - which is great because we can build workouts and fitness classes into our work day and will support each other with healthy food choices throughout each day!

New Year New Me New Blog


A lot of things changed in my life in 2012.
I changed careers which was a truly life-altering event. I went from a normal 8-5 desk job that carried with it a lot of stress, demoralizing office politics, managing of people, nonsensical government over-regulation and a few really good friends – to working a 100% commission based sales job managing only me-myself-and-I and getting to do all my own marketing and decision making in Real Estate.
My youngest son started Kindergarten, I started a new chapter of a charity called Twilight Wish in St. Louis, and lots of other small changes as well.
Now that the Mayan Calendar Apocalypse Crisis is over, the year is rapidly coming to a close and we will soon be ringing in the New Year. I am firmly against “resolutions” as they are usually forgotten about by February so instead I am developing my “2013 Plan For Greatness” and hope you all will follow along and develop your own plans for greatness as well!
A large part of the “2013 Plan For Greatness” this year is going to revolve around building a healthy life style for myself and my family. Step one on that long journey is joining in on my city’s “Biggest Loser” competition. I signed up today! It is a 5 month competition that includes access to a fitness center, 4 personal training sessions, weekly weigh ins and challenges and group support. It officially starts on January 7th and I am very excited! As the time draws near I will be posting a lot more about it including video blog posts like the one shown below. I hope you enjoy following along with me!
