So, lets get back to my story of the Journey that changed my life!
After my first run of P90X I took some time off, to let my body recoup Like Tony Horton said I should. Well, after a couple weeks, my knees went right back to having major pain, stiffness, popping and making snapping sounds. Sitting down as well as standing back up, was once again a major undertaking for me. So, I started to do P90X again. This time with even more modifications due to my knees. After about a week, my knees started to ease off a bit. I got more of the Recovery Drink. And, adding to this combination of a healthier way of life was the awesomeness of Shakeology. That stuff was like a life saver to me. I started to involve using my bicycle this time around. Every night, I would go about 4 miles. I knew I would never be 100% with my knees, they are just too shot. But at least with the Beachbody work outs, Recovery Drink and Shakeology, my knees will hold up better, longer and perhaps even after long term, I hoped, I MAY be able to run again. That’s was my number one big dream, to be able to run again. It did not have to be a marathon, just plain be able to run. During all this, I still had nerve issues to deal with in my back, setting up more leg issues. Like I said, one thing after another for me. I believed deep down that I would one day overcome all this, so I didn’t give up. It was around this time when I started to tell everyone that I saw, just how important it is to take care of your knees at all costs. It’s no fun losing mobility like thatI started preaching that ever so popular saying “Don’t let this happen to you!”.
Now as you know, P90X started it all for me. Fitness had turned my life around, as I was now feeling WAY better. And I knew I would continue to do so as long as I kept the fitness going. I soon realized the best thig I could do was to pay it forward. but how? Well, in late July of my first year, I got my answer. I was really getting into this and wanted to pay it forward because by the time I finished my first round, I had gone from the almost 310 pounds to 256 pounds. Now, I heard about the Beachbody Coaching thing but didn’t really know what it was all about, so, I started to go into the chatrooms. I talk about my journey a bit to see if I could spark any interest in my helping someone. I figured that was all there was to coaching. After about a week or two I met this amazing guy named Allan Gadsden Jr. who seemed interested in my journey and asked a ton of questions as well as ton of information.
It was then that I learned a person could make money helping others. Thing was, it would take a lot for me to do this. It wasn’t just sitting at a computer talking to people on line in chatroom’s with motivation to keep going. It was to actually get out there, do videos, talk to groups in person, show your face and share your story with the world! Then, one day, Allan said to me “So, why are you waiting? Just do it! See The Big Picture and do something scary. This is how you learn and grow” “You have to get out there and touch lives!”, he told me. I didn’t tell him that going public like that was one of my fears. It’s even one of the reasons I never went into Comedy on stage, even though I was asked to by SNL’s rival, CCTV in Chicago. Adding to that was I kept hearing what my mom always told me, “You’re just being stupid, it’s not stable work and you WILL starve if you did that. Also, it wouldn’t be fair to your wife and soon to be newborn son.” I was too scared, too unsure of myself and lacked that inner feeling of go for it. I played it safe like I was told to all my life. Justified that in my mind enabled me to deal with it. It didn’t matter how many people told me I would be great at it and should go. My mom said the opposite and so I listened.
I had no real confidence in myself that people would want to listen to me. Not a week has gone by that I haven’t thought about the “What If’s” of taking that chance of just being out there like that in the public. So, I really thought to myself this time, “Am I going to let this Beachbody Opportunity slip on by???? NO!” Even though I had the same feelings of inadequacy and self-defeat, I knew that I just needed to start believing in myself to get through it. I needed to start listening to others when they say, “You Can Do It!” and stop the inner thinking of “Yeah right, you don’t know me. I really have nothing of any worth to say” For more years than I can recall I just pretend to agree and then go about my day. The key started to turn when I realized I needed to believe more in myself and see the things other do in me. To take it for what it is and not just that they are saying something to be nice to me. This new mindset is what started opening that door to the journey ahead, even though I still wasn’t 100% sold on the idea of having confidence in myself. I wanted to be everything I could be, physically, mentally, financially and spiritually. I knew I still had so much to learn and go through before I would become the leader I need to be. My belief to do this through Beachbody was unbreakable.
Remember to drop me line with any questions, ideas, or if you need help with anything. Also, if you would like to help people like I do, let me know and let’s talk. I’m always looking to build my team!
