Boot Camp fun!


Thanks to Seattle Photographer and Sync Fitness Boot Camper, Barbie Hull, for making this time lapse video of one of our recent classes!

Who do you spend the most time with?

I was at a business conference awhile back and learned about some research that found one’s income is the average of the incomes of the 5 people they spend the most time with. I would argue this extends to other areas of your life as well. Think about who you spend the most time with. How do they influence you? Do they push you to be a better person? Do they hold you back from your goals and dreams? If you’re surrounded by active, healthy people you’ll be active and healthy. If you’re surrounded my couch potatoes, you’re more likely to kick back and relax, right?

As we wrap up 2010, think about who in your life inspires you and pushes you to be better. Think about who the bad apples are in your life. Get rid of the bad apples. Instead of making resolutions to lose 10 pounds, make resolutions about who you’re going to spend your time with. Time is an increasingly valuable commodity. Why would you waste your time with people who are wasting time. Find people who fill you up and make you better. Learn from them. Emulate them. Grow with them. If these people help you to be healthier and happier, you’ll likely lose that 10 pounds.

It’s not my fault I ate the chips!

We have a few rules in my house:

1. No chips allowed
2. No baked goods allowed
3. No Diet Coke/Pepsi

I was out of town last weekend and I came home to chips in the cupboard and Diet Coke in the fridge. My husband broke the rules. We have the rules for me – not for him. He can say no to salt, I cannot. He can say no to sugar, I cannot. Neither of us can say no to carbonation. So I just inhaled a handful of chips – Salt & Vinegar Tim’s – I don’t even like those chips, dammit! If I’m gonna have chips give me some Doritos! Then I guzzled down half a DC. Ahhhhh, bubbles… But it’s definitely not my fault since my husband brought this stuff in the house. Read the rest of this entry…

I’m a nerd!

So I’m heading out today for a Mastermind meeting in Las Vegas with knots in my stomach. Why the knots?? I’m stepping HUGELY outside my comfort zone this weekend to attend this Mastermind group where I am learning from very accomplished fitness industry leaders about developing fitness products (books, ebooks, DVDs). The reason this is so scary for me is that I have only just recently starting thinking about adding this component to my business. The rest of the people participating in this event already have products (that are hugely successful, in most cases), have been in this field for awhile now and they all know each other already. I’m totally the new kid on the block. Nothing freaks me out more than being the new kid. I never changed schools growing up, well except to transition (with all my best friends) from the 8th grade to high school (so that doesn’t really count.) When I went away to college I was a DISASTER. Picture a blubbering mess of a 19 year old, wrapped around her mother, begging, “Please don’t leave me here!” Yup, that was me. I told you – I’m a nerd!
