With the holiday's coming up faster than Jimmy Johnson's Chevy, I just wanted to take the time to update everyone on the goings on in my life. Life has been pretty hectic out here in Southern California. The onset of winter brings two things: surf and snow. While I haven't been able to get to the mountains yet, I have gotten in the water. While it hasn't been big, minus today, it has been fun and refreshing to get back out in the water. I also have started teaching a couple people how to surf including a bunch of little kids and I tell you there is nothing more fun that watching little people learn to surf for the first time. I suppose I have to mention my personal life for just a quick second. Another reason life is so good is that I have a new friend in my life and her name is Michele. We have been seeing each other since August and she is quite amazing.
In a nutshell, life is good.
Training
I am just wrapping up my 6-month Lean Eating Coaching Program through Precision Nutrition. While my results have been less than stellar, i.e. I am still at 10% body fat, the amount of knowledge I have gained from that company has been priceless. I have learned about macronutrients, nutrition design and timing, as well as how to live an overall healthy lifestyle. If you are looking to make the switch from a shitty, fast food, highly processed food type of lifestyle to one of balance, healthy GOOD TASTING meals and world class training, then I suggest you either purchase Precision Nutrition or join the LEP program. You will not be disappointed.
When this program is done, Michele and I are embarking on Mike Roussell and Alwyn Cosgrove's Warped Speed Fat Loss program to keep us on the straight and narrow during the silly season. Its 28 days of pre-planned out meals and a training program that looks brutal but absolutely fun as hell. Yes I am that crazy. Then once the New Year hits, I go into full on triathlon training mode to get ready for Wildflower the first weekend of May. My goal is to break the three hour mark this year, plus I am collaborating on a the training protocol with my good friend Roger, which should be fun.
Business
Business is steadily growing. I haven't paid anything for marketing and my client base is slowly growing. Everything I have been doing has been via word of mouth, as I am a believer that a personal testimonial is the best form of marketing. Besides, when you can get someone in shape and looking good, people will notice and start asking questions. The results have been speaking for themselves. My bootcamps are growing and getting more consistent turn-out and I am just getting ready to launch a new series of bootcamps for moms, it's going to be sweet. My gym clients have been kicking major ass as well. I got a new client about 5 weeks ago now and while she is only down 3 pounds, we have corrected a lot of her postural and asymmetrical problems and her movement patterns have gotten dramatically better. Plus we have alleviated the pain in her hip and shoulders.
Overall, things are progressing in the right direction. While of course I want more clients to train, I know I have my ship pointed in the right direction.
