Need to Eat A Frog

So yesterday I started reading a book called Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy. I am not a big believer in the idea that my life will change from following someone's book. HOWEVER, I am the biggest procrastinator on the planet!! So I need to get myself to doing what I need to do and setting priorities instead of busying myself with my love of chatting on Facebook :) So far, I have only read about 20 pages and I really feel like I may be able to make some changes in my life so I don't always feel like I am so under the gun. Oh and BTW, stress is a big factor in a whole host of illnesses. So my goal is to get to a place in my life where I don't always feel like I am running. Running to get from place to place and always late, and running and rushing to get things done.
Speaking of stress, if you are not working out, YOU SHOULD BE!! Why? Oh because working out is such a great stress reliever. First, working out lets you let off some steam so there is an immediate reduction in stress. Second, working out releases endorphins, sort of like nature's drugs, so you are feeling awesome when you are done. And lastly, we all have very little time in our lives where we are able to concentrate on doing something good for ourselves. When you are working out, your mind is completely focused on the workout, or getting through it. So all of the worries of the day fall away for the hour that you are doing a workout ahhhh....

Not Really Sure How to Start

Ok, so I am not really sure how to start. With the exception of some online college courses that required us to blog, I have never blogged. Come to think of it, I think in the online course when I started the page in a similar fashion to this, it was met with a bit of criticism. Maybe I should say that I just don't know how to blog well.

I named this blog Kim Beuther Wants to Help Everyone Get Healthy because that is pretty much what I want to do. Why? Well, because I know what it like to be up around 300 lbs. I know what it is like to walk around believing that you will never, ever, ever lose weight. I know because I have been there!! I am not an expert, I am not a nutritionist, a doctor, a lawyer, a dietitian or a personal trainer etc.  I just want to help people get motivated to work out, to try to change their eating habits, and to see that they are not alone and with enough hard work and perseverance, anyone can find a healthier lifestyle!!

That being said, I am a beachbody coach and I have been through the rigorous P90X regiment twice and am nearing the middle of my third round. I didn't lose all the weight through P90X though. I started out just walking YUP, I said it and you read it right, walking. Walking is something that nearly everyone can do, the more you do it, the faster and further you can go. You lose weight and you realize that a mile is no longer far, two miles is no longer far, 3 miles is no longer far, then when you can walk 13 miles.... Well, OK, 13 miles is FAR!! But I've done it without even a pain in my legs the next day. I also did yoga, yoga is another thing that can be done by nearly anyone with modification. Yoga gave me balance, flexibility, and strength.

But I wanted to be stronger, so I saw an infomercial for P90X and I thought... I AM READY FOR THAT!!! So I bought it and guess what? I wasn't really all that ready for it, but I still pushed myself everyday to do it.

Now, I have muscles, and I want more!! So keep with me as I try to reshape my body into a lean, mean, machine :) Ok not a machine, but at least lean and non-flabby :) Let's get in the best possible shape of our lives!!
