week 1 day 1

So I've been teetering on the edge of something... I wont say something great, but definitely something leading to greatness. and I don't mean for myself, I mean for "us". whoever us seems to be. whoever "us" joins in this path.

I have been accumulating data, tools, insight, & experience for a few years now. My Mentor had a lot to do with guiding my way and I am grateful for that. In the last year especially I have attracted to myself, or otherwise been lucky enough to have things fall into place and in some way, I feel, steer me to this purpose...or this path.

And it all sorta came together at the World wellness Conference In Albuquerque a few weeks ago. And then with a little work I realized I actually do have enough material to put together a program that I think can change peoples lives.

So with the cooperation and commitment of some good friends, I have launched the first round of the 12 week transformation program. I really gotta get a better name. I think that's one of the things I should meditate on.

The program encompasses the mind, body and spirit and the strengthening of each. Growth. Change. Awareness.

Im not sure where this can go, but an infectious epidemic would be fantastic. And helping anywhere from 1 person to epidemic proportions would be "werth" the trip. It's already changing me and I have only just begun. I expect this will have incredible results and I predict that they will likely be nothing like what I expected. well, hopefully a little bit. I'm really sorta counting on bigger biceps and pecs and a nice solid 6 pack again. =)

It was a great first day. the girls are kicking ass. the guys are either slackin' or busy and not full committed yet. even though they SAY they are committed, this is a prime example of say what you mean and mean what you say... and do what you say.

My guinea pig test subjects for round 1 are a nice group. 2 guys, 2 girls, and me.

All of us needing some changes in our lives right now so its a great group of people to hammer out the kinks with. Id' already decided on a few changes.

for example (and Im writing this down for myself so I don't forget) the excel chart to track the daily work out is awesome. except it really doesn't need to have the columns for planning and actual. I plan y work out before I go on the chart I print out. and then I only need to record the actual when I get back. Anymore than that is too much work and not really useful. I do understand where the whole planning and actual concept came from, and I think that's something that is helpful for people are are not completely committed. or reluctant to move. I think that may be where the going from knowing to doing might help make that bridge.

I don't think the "reluctant dieters" will be part of the groups that this program attracts. that said, we'll see what happens with the dudes here and find out. maybe we will need to keep some of that in. ha ha . or maybe just more instruction on how to plan before you work out.

I think a lot of people need to plan meals. I've already incorporated that whole life style into my food choices daily so everything I make is in line. but I am noticing a benefit to planning what I want to eat all day in just saving time.

So my quick check in for the day.
woke up great, meditation was scattered as expected, but nice. ate well. work out was awesome. and now I'm blogging. which is fantastic.

I'll be introducing a few new layers at the end of the week. I just want to keep it easy for people to get into first. I think ti might be a tad overwhelming for the guys at first. the girls seem to be cool with it. we'll see what happens but I think I might have some incredible success stories out of the girls. I hope the same fro the guys. that will be a challenge for me to keep them motivated.
