make 2009 your best year yet

Whew, it has been a while since I’ve written. I’ve been swamped with so much to do over the holidays, and as I type this I really should be cleaning and cooking for tonight’s NYE party at our house… It’s alright though, my pregnant feet needed a rest.

I’m really excited to see what 2009 brings. Roman will be born – I can’t wait to meet him. Once he’s here, I’m excited to see what transformations I’m able to witness in the gym (with my own body). I’ve never weighed this much in my life; I think it’s given me a new perspective on things. I will probably be a little more understanding with clients from now on, but I also plan on breaking barriers and plateaus after I deliver Roman. I want to use myself as an example that women can look amazing after kids. I’m also in the process of learning a new trade that I can use to work from home and contribute financially to our family. Next year will be the year that I launch that business and I’m excited to see where it goes.

Our lives will dramatically change in 2009, but who wants the same ole things all the time?? Change is good, and I will embrace it and make the most of it.

What about you?

good post by Seth Godin

This is Seth Godin’s post for the day… Take a look and see what you think.

I really struggle with this. It’s physically impossible to stay up-to-date on everything. There are lots of blogs that I would love to be able to keep up with on a daily basis, but I just don’t have the time. We are on informational overload as a society. If you’ve read the 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss you know that he mentions this. We waste so much time checking email, watching tv, reading random stupid stuff on the internet… and then we wonder where all the time went.

We don’t have to know everything… We need to stop trying to absorb it all and enjoy the time we have on earth. There’s so much more to life. We need to remember the important things and stop wasting time on Facebook and Myspace when we could be with family, friends, and improving our bodies and minds in other more productive ways.

nobody hits as hard as life

I mention the quote from this movie earlier in the blog, but the clip is so freakin awesome I had to post it.

Stallone’s words are VERY true too…

how bad do you want it?

It’s really late right now, but I’m super motivated. I’m in the process of learning some new stuff (some related to fitness and some not) and I’m majorly pumped. Like I’ve said in the past, I’m a big nerd. I love learning new stuff – I thrive on it. New bits of knowledge makes my world go round.

With that said, I can TASTE this new goal that I’ve set for myself. I want to make it happen really really bad.

So, what are your goals for the rest of this year and the new year coming up? How bad do you want to see these goals come to fruition?? Make up your mind and get to it. You are the deciding factor. No one can do this stuff for you. Whether your goal is physical, spiritual, financial, emotional, etc. make it happen.

You will be surprised what a simple paradigm shift can do for you. Try it out and see for yourself.
