The Magic of Thinking Big

I am sharing my thoughts on the book The Magic of Thinking Big written by David J. Schwartz





I bought this book because it was recommended to me because I am currently trying this whole Network Marketing thing and you really have to put yourself out there and have thick skin...which I do NOT!

Now I'm not saying that you need to be in Network Marketing to read this book, this book has wonderful  ideas and tips for everyday people who have no interest in big business. If you just want some ideas on having a better conversation or healthier relationships, you will want to read this book.

The author of this book has filled it with real life everyday examples of situations that most people can relate to and that helps to put his ideas into perspective. Sometimes it is easy to learn something when it is in laymen terms...at least for me anyway.




This is just one example of the wonderful advice and tips you will find in this book. I had my pen and highlighter out and was taking notes in case I couldn't find the spot again in the book. I think this will be one that I will re-read many times.

22 Minute Hard Corps Review

I just finished up the challenge pack of 22 Minute Hard Corps and thought that I would share in case anyone out there was curious about what it's like before taking the plunge.






I had never even heard of Beachbody or Shakeology before 8 weeks ago. Someone sent me a DM on Instagram about how inspired they were by me and how would I like to try this program. I just happened to be getting bored with my current program so I figured why not.


WHAT DO YOU GET?

* you receive 2 DVD's that have the programs on them plus and extra DVD for partner work.
* a calendar with the program all laid out as to what workout you do what day.
* a meal plan and recipes book.
* measurement tracker.
* portion control containers.

** mine came with a sandbag but mine was a special challenge pack. I'm not sure that comes with them all

The program is well organized. The calendar is so easy to follow. You will do cardio every other day and resistance training alternating. As the weeks goon the workouts get more difficult but there is always modifier to follow if it gets too hard.

You will be doing your workout along with Veterans from all service ranks which is why the name. It is coached by Tony Horton who is very animated so sometimes I did find myself laughing while working out.




WHAT DID I GAIN?

I myself didn't lose any weight or inches but I did gain all sorts of strength. I am able to do push ups and started coming close to pull ups. My ability to do burpees without getting sick was increased so I'm OK with not losing weight. Sometimes it's not about weight.
