I have always been one who constantly likes to keep moving. I find myself going CRAZY when I don't really have much going on. I would rather be cleaning the house, working on a project, doing who knows what else than lounging on the couch watching television. I feel that this reason alone, is why I enjoy being a health and fitness coach so much! There is always something to do and never the same boring routine, day in and day out!
I am a full time employee, your typical 9-5er, in the awesome Corporate America world. I work for sales in an energy and gas industry. This in itself keeps me quite busy throughout the day. I am a recently married (almost one year) Furbaby Momma, who enjoys spending time with my husband, friends and family when I get the time. I also support my husband in his own business. He is a wedding disc jockey as well as the owner of Pixburgh PhotoBooth! We support each other through our wild and crazy ideas/dreams and passion! I enjoy working out and have been consistently committed to my health and fitness journey for the last 27 months.
Before getting a handle on time management, I always said I never had time to do anything! Hence, read all the things above I do on a regular basis. When I first started my health and fitness journey, I was riding solo. I would spend almost about an hour or two in the evenings at the gym. Although I wasn't living with my husband at the time, I still needed to prioritize my time to ensure I was able to spend quality time with him. I was also at the time working crazy amount of overtime due to saving money for our upcoming wedding. Life was seriously insane, and I wasn't sure how much longer I was going to be able to keep up with this routine.
With that being said, going back to January 2014, I was introduced to this crazy, health and fitness coaching opportunity with Team Beachbody! I was a little skeptical because I wasn't sure if it actually worked. I already had so much going on with work and planning my upcoming wedding, and ensuring that I had enough time to spend with my husband and do my workouts I wasn't sure I could add more stuff to my plate! Needless to say, I had my priorities completely OUT OF WHACK! Beachbody helped me relieve all the stress I had with Time Management, prioritizing my priorities and understanding the importance of nutrition during the journey! Why do I bring up the comment about the nutrition? Well it's quite simple.... when you follow the 80/20 rule, and consistently follow a workout program that has everything spelled out for you... YOU SAVE A LOT OF TIME! I was able to cut back on my workout times from 2 hours a day, to just 30-60 minutes a day depending on what kind of mood I was in!
I know what it's like to be busy. I know what it's like to say I will never have enough hours in this day to complete everything I need to... but I learned how to "Eat that Frog" as Brian Tracy would say. Simply meaning, do the one thing you are most likely to procrastinate on later in the day first thing!
I knew that I wanted to make something of myself. I knew that putting in the extra hours here and there would eventually allow me to free up time in the future once I started seeing things pick up! So, that is exactly my mentality. I make my priority to do list. I focus on what is important. How successful I want to be. How fast I want to grow this business and just how far I want to go with it. I know that I have some obstacles that stand in the way, but I have come up with solutions on how to work around them!
Read on to see what a typical day looks like for me:
- I sacrifice sleep time. Wake up call at 4:30 AM to get my workouts in so I don't have to worry about it after work (Eating That Frog!)
- 5:30 AM I schedule time to check in with my challengers, coaches and my upline's groups to ensure I can stay up to date with all the current events, news, and any other necessary items on my to do list for my business.
- 6 AM - I make myself a delicious breakfast to ensure I get my day started off right
- 7 AM - Finish getting ready for work, then head to the office
- 7:40 AM - Hope in the car, and listen to an awesome personal development podcast or our National Wake Up calls! Knowledge is Power!!!
- Evenings are up in the air. If I feel like I need to spend more time on my business, I most certainly do, but most of the time I enjoy a nice, tasty dinner with my husband and relax for the evening.
Yes, you may think I am crazy for waking up at 4:30 AM Monday - Friday, but this type of routine fits my needs and schedule! I know that this routine will set me up for success... it works for me, it's not consuming my life, and I have my free time to do what I want to do.
