Piyo, week 1

WOW, I had so many reasons (excuses!) not to do my workout this morning. 

*We're out of town for a funeral. 

*I forgot my yoga mat & my workout space at my brothers is wood floors. 

*My Mom & Aunt are on their way over & we're headed to breakfast when they get here. 


Instead of starting my day cranky. I reminded myself of my WHY, grabbed a balled up sheet (that didn't work great, lol But, I did manage!) & pushed play! 

It was under 20 minutes! I'm done for the day, they haven't arrived yet & I'm feeling much more prepared for the days events. 


Week 1 day 7 of Piyo = define: upper body. :)

Is Network Marketing for you?

I'm one that had a bad taste for Network Marketing. I did the Pampered Chef thing back in the day & did it terribly! I lasted a month or so, had zero training & just fizzled out. 
So, the thought of trying it again wasn't real. I thought, I'll just get the discount, maybe sell a few programs because I was talking about it SO much already, lol But, I never expected the reality of what Network Marketing is....... 

Personal development: We're encouraged to read/listen/watch a minimum of 10 minutes EVERY day!! I never did that before. It's amazing what a difference it makes in the way I feel, think & the knowledge I'm gaining will last a lifetime. 

Making friends & building relationships: Previously, I would accept friend requests on Facebook, like a few things but never really catch up with the person. Now? I accept that friend request, catch up with the person & REALLY build a relationship with them. 

Team interaction: So much encouragement, inspiration & true friendships have been made. 

Support groups: Motivation, help, laughter & tears. We keep it real in there. 

Amazing improvements in myself & my family: of course, this one is kind of Beachbody specific but all of the above is also contributing. :) 

None of this is done with 'making a sale' in mind. It's truthfully in bettering myself, supporting one another & helping as many people as I'm able. Is Network Marketing for you? 

Piyo, week 1/round 2

Well, it looks like week 1 day 6 will be my rest day. Our timing was way off for our road trip this morning! 5 hour drive means we needed to hit the road (and pack! lol) way earlier than I thought. 

No worries though, I brought my workout & I'll get it done tomorrow morning. :)
