Hey teamRIPPED!!
How are y’all doing? I hope you are bringing it as hard as me and the Misfits! We are CRUSHING these workouts! Yesterday’s post, “Dialing it In”, is the nutrition plan I have had the Misfits following, and it’s working GREAT for all of them. If you aren’t sure what phase of the diet you should be on, or when to switch from one phase to the next, be sure to check that article out.
What can happen if you go a whole year and never miss a single workout?? NOT ONE??? Check out our teamRIPPED member Dave, who just sent me his 1 year progress pics (October 2010 to October 2011) =
Now that’s dedication and commitment, teamRIPPED style! Way to go Dave!!! Congrats on a year and counting!
Last week’s addition of a RECIPE tab on our homepage is quite the hit. I’ve enjoyed seeing all the new and creative recipes that you guys and gals have posted there. Thanks for sharing your favorites! Keep ’em coming!
The teamRIPPED Vegan Challenge will start in exactly 1 week, on November 1st. I will be posting some thoughts tomorrow based on my experiences over the past month as I’ve switched my diet to almost exclusively whole food plant based. So check back tomorrow for that article, and be sure you are here next week to learn how to join our private Facebook group for this challenge!
I got to travel again this past weekend to Ohio for a wedding (my coach Josh Spencer) as well as join up with many other top coaches for a Beachbody event that was going on in Ohio. We had a blast. It was at this event that the news was made public that my team of coaches WON the Success Club Team Challenge (a 2 month contest that took place this summer in which we competed against 1200 other coach teams). Our team rocked it, in true teamRIPPED fashion! While the other teams had scary, intimidating names, we tried to fly under the radar with a cute, cuddly name … “Team Fluffy Bunny” … and it worked!!! No one suspected us to come out and CRUSH the competition!! LOL!! Congrats to my teammates Chris Garrett, Michael Roberts, Michael Flint, and Kent Wyatt. Way to go gang! As the winning team, we get a free trip to the Summit (Beachbody’s annual meeting) with free tickets and hotel, as well as free iPads. Score! But the best part is that I’m hooking us all up with Team Fluffy Bunny shirts to wear at the meeting LOL!
If there is anybody that can wear a shirt like that and still look manly, it’s gotta be us LOL!
It’s almost “Trick or Treat” time, so plan ahead. If you will be tempted by having a bowl of goodies by your front door, then don’t do it! Be the fuddy duddy that gives out fruit. Or give out money (dimes or quarters). Teach your kids that by resisting their sweet tooth there is a payoff — buy their candy from them and toss it out. Then they can use their money to get a toy or something instead. It’s never to early to break the association of food as a reward. I have really had to battle that myself — I used to always “reward myself” with a treat. I did the same with my kids for a long time. What a destructive “reward”! It’s time we learn a new way to “reward” ourselves and “treat” ourselves other than making ourselves fat, sick, and depressed!
And 2 favors that I ask:
1) If you like the hard work I put into writing my articles and videos, PLEASE help me out by sharing them. Click the share links below them and share them on FB, twitter, etc. It really helps me get more exposure and grow teamRIPPED!
2) Also, as always, remember that the way I benefit from being your coach is that I earn a commission from any Beachbody products that you purchase, as long as you buy them through my site, www.teamRIPPED.com, or by logging in to www.teambeachbody.com to do your shopping (If you buy from the plain beachbody site I get no credit). It helps with the amount of time I spend answering all your questions and helping you out. Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Keep bringing it and inspiring others to do the same gang!!
