When I last posted my "official" weight was 276 lbs. I had dropped 20 lbs during my first round of 21DF and was getting down to a weight that I had not been at for over 20 years. In fact, any weight under the 285 range or so would be the lowest I had been at. My first goal of 235 lbs was getting closer and I was feeling great. I was finishing up my off week on the 27th of April and starting my next round on the very next day. I was doing well with it, but again, with the new job I lost some time daily for one reason (or excuse) or another and I failed to maintain my daily yoga workout along with the primary workout. I am now 4 days to the final day of my 2nd full round and I am down from 276 lbs to now, today, 262 lbs. I weighed today and that is what it showed. That is another 14 lbs lost so far and hopefully I can be under the 260 lb mark by Sunday. I have had some sort of stomach flu or some bug that is going around my house and had to not workout a couple of days and eating was messed up. I didn't go to work 2 days and I left early the other day. I feel better today, but I still feel discomfort in the stomach. I think that I can work through that as well as working through my leg routine. I will also do my yoga today.
I have since my last posting, signed up on IG (Instagram) please follow me @allen_mif .... So you may wonder why my tag is allen_mif well the allen part should be apparent but the mif is something that I have put a lot of thought into. As a beachbody coach we aspire to building a team of people repeating the same thing. We want to help others achieve their goals. It's that simple. We don't want to be hock men/women, salesy or the guy/girl you see coming at you with that determined look of "I'm going to convince them to do what I am doing". Now, if you are helping others achieve their fitness, health and financial goals, why wouldn't you want to multiply that. The business is about people not about numbers.
Whoever helps the most people wins!
That should be the motto of a beachbody coach. Leading by serving, this is not a new concept but it's one that seems to be forgotten by all the people who want that recognition. When you look for what is in it for you, you fail to see the bigger picture. You should be looking at how you can help others and when you do that, you will get what's in it for you. I get off topic too easily. The MIF is Mirror Image Fitness. My team name is going to be Mirror Image. The reason is that you see all these people standing in their bathrooms or in front of some mirror doing selfies with their phones. Most of us who are obese or overweight hate our image in the mirror, so my team will be dedicated to helping you love the image in the mirror no matter the weight or fitness level. Health is not just physical, but emotional and psychological. Now I am no psychologist, but I love seeing how I look now. I love to look in the mirror, where I didn't a few months back. Though I still have confidence and self esteem issues, I am much better than where I was. I like the idea of creating a team of people who love what they see in the mirror instead of dreading of looking at themselves without a shirt on or in a bikini. So my fitness page will be Mirror Image Fitness... MIF and Team Mirror Image... because no matter what, your mirror image is a reflection of you, but not the real you. You start to love you and you will soon love the reflection as well.
Push play and keep kicking ass daily!!
