Wounded Warrior Project and P90

Wounded Warrior Project and P90

2 days until this new program comes out - perfect for ANY age and ANY fitness level. It's the prequel to P90X with all of the great results of P90X, without all of the extreme moves.

I know there are lots of us that know a soldier. Ones that made it back safe, some made it back injured and some never came back at all. The awesome company I work for is helping out our soldiers by helping the Wounded Warrior Project. Beachbody will be donating to the Wounded Warrior Project for each P90 program sold - in honor of Tony Horton's father who passed away and their mutual involvement and support of that project.

I have a goal to help AT LEAST one person with their fitness goals and pay it forward to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Who's with me?

If you're interested in joining my team or have questions about the program, please contact me at, Dreamcatcherfitness@yahoo.com

Do you really not have time?

 
   I came across a picture yesterday and it really got me thinking.  The picture showed how many hours are in a week and what we use our hours for.  A good amount of us complain that we just don't have time to workout.  Is that really true, or is it just an excuse to make us feel better about not working out?  For most of us, it's probably just an excuse.  I'm guilty of this myself.  I decided to figure out what my own hours are.  Right now I'm at work for about 41 hours, have school/study time for about 15 hours, and if I sleep 8 hours a night, that's 56 hours.  There are 168 hours in a week, I'm busy about 112 of those hours.  That leaves 56 hours open that I don't have anything scheduled.  Even if I get the second job I just applied for, I will still have 36 hours of free time a week.  36 hours!  Now of course in those 36 hours I still have to do household duties.  I can no longer say that I don't have time to workout.  Figure out your own hours to see if you truly don't have time, or if you're just making excuses.

You are perfect.

You can be the ripest peach in the world, but there will still be someone who hates peaches.

   

   All of these women above are all different sizes and they are all still gorgeous.  All of us have different goals when it comes to our bodies.  I often see people on social media criticizing others because of their body types.  No one has the right to do that.  There will always be someone that say you are too skinny, too thick, too average, too muscular; you will always be too "something" for someone.  All that matters, is that you are happy and comfortable with your body.  I personally, would like to lose a lot of my thickness and gain a good amount of muscle.  To some, lots of muscle on a woman is manly.  Those people are entitled to their opinion but I think it looks good and that is my goal.  Your  goal may be completely different from my goal, but that is YOUR goal. Do what makes you happy and don't worry about the rest.

Welcome

 
   Welcome everyone!  First off, I want to say thank you for checking out my blog.  I hope you will find what you're looking for.  I started this blog thinking I wanted to focus solely on fitness and my journey from thick to fit.  I've decided I want my blog to be much more than that.
   When I started my fitness journey I was searching for a vegan to follow for advice and ideas.  Let me tell you, there's not a lot to choose from.  I'm hoping this will help a lot of people when they are looking for healthy vegan meals.  I will try to always include the calories and nutritional content of the recipes I use.  You will find the recipes I try and cookbooks I recommend under the "Recipes" page.
   I plan on doing the majority of my workouts at home or outside.  I want to show people that you can meet your goals without ever stepping inside a gym.  A lot of people have a hard time getting to a gym on a regular basis.  They either have no place for their kids to go, there is not a gym close by or they may not be open when you're available to go.  For me, it's a lot more convenient to workout at home.  I also feel like I put more effort into my workouts when I'm by myself because I'm not worried about looking like a hot mess.  Under the "Shop" page, you will find the link to my Beachbody page.  From there, you can join my team or order products.
   If you're like me, you probably look up reviews before purchasing a product.  If the good reviews don't outweigh the bad, I don't buy.  Under the "Review" page you'll find all of my reviews.  I'll do reviews on anything as long as it is vegan/animal friendly; beauty products, workout programs, health foods, pet products, anything.  If you're a new company and would like me to review your product feel free to email me.
   I am very passionate about charities.  There is just something about helping those in need that makes you feel good.  The "A Helping Hand" page will contain links to all of the charities that I find. They could be for animal rescue, helping someone with medical bills or school fundraisers.  If you know of a charity that needs some exposure, please email me and let me know.
   Smile! We all have those days where we are just in a blah mood or down in the dumps.  If you're in one of those moods go to the "Smile" page.  You will find all things that make you smile or laugh.
    Other than the items listed above, you will probably see your fair share of animal posts.  I am the founder of a non-profit animal rescue so you will see animals that are for adoption as well as my personal dogs when they're just being cute.  You may notice under my welcome image an icon that has a paw print.  Click that and it will take you to my animal rescue Facebook page, Rescued Souls.
   Thank you for checking out my blog.  I hope you find it helpful and informative.  Remember, if you have a product you want me to review, a charity you want me to recognize or just have a question feel free to email me.
