Fischers Food and Fitness: October 2011

hey hey!
This weekend there was an awesome leadership retreat for the 1 star Diamond ranks and above ( for beachbody coaching) in Laguna Beach Ca. I qualified to go and could not attend. I was so mad and upset about it, but now I understand that God just had better plans for me that I could not see. I will get into that later.

As of right now this is the big news that has come from BB corporate
1. Beachbody has partnered with Les Mills and will be offering a home version of bodypump and it will be available in early 2012. AWESOME

2. There will be a P90X certification only available to beachbody coaches, so that they can teach P90X in gyms. AWESOME

3. Tropical Shakeology will be available in January 2012 and will be VEGAN! YEAH! This will reach out to a much broader market. AWESOME

4. There is a Tai Chi workout coming out soon...also widening the people we can reach

5. Brett Hoebel has 2 new workouts coming out

6. There will be a BUNDLE option so people can buy a few things at once and get a discount.

I am so excited for all of this. I love that I am apart of this company and that I will be able to change our future bc of it.

Now onto what I did this weekend instead of going to Laguna Beach

I went to a Womens retreat with 2 of my friends to see ANGELA THOMAS
and she was amazing. It was the BEST womens event I have ever been to. I have only been to a handful of them and 1 of them was really disappointing actually. This one was amazing. I have never fully been able to feel like I was really truly forgiven for my biggest sins, and FINALLY yesterday after writing them down on a little notecard and kneeling at the alter, and crying while praying to God and listening to the lovely ladies sing worship music, I was able to feel some peace, and literally get up and THROW THOSE SINS AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS. It was amazing.
I have never felt so free. Then I went into the gorgeous prayer room that was decorated so soothing and beautifully and I wrote out those big sins and chains that held me down, one more time, this time in deteal rather than in one or two words, and I put them in the prayer box. One of the women who was in there prayed for me, as I sobbed and felt so heavy, and as she was finishing, and we said amen, i new that was it. I was forgiven, and I felt peace and i felt light and it felt amazing.
It was such an intense day.
That is why it did not work out for me to go to Laguna Beach.
It was much more important for me to be at this retreat. I am so glad I was there.
Thank you GOD

Ok, now I have only 45 minutes to shower and get us all ready and get to church! HA!

Good Morning! Today is a Tuesday. Last night I tried to cancel with my trainer- I havent worked out in almost a week, I have been eating badly and over eating, and I was cold, tired and cranky. She told me that I could not cancel and had to meet her. So I did. We met at One Life ( which was a huge Golds gym, and they changed the name) When I pulled into the parking lot, after teaching bootcamp, I sat there and I was actually a little nervous to go inside!
What!?!?!? I have worked at gyms since I was 19, and been involved in fitness since then as well. I teach bootcamps 6 times a week and do personal training 2 times a week as well.....so WHY on earth was I feeling nervous to go in? Its been a while since I have worked out INSIDE a gym. If I FEEL THIS WAY, I can only imagine what it is like for a brand new beginner, or someone with over 100 pounds to lose. Gyms can be very very very intimidating.
So, I went in. She put me through a leg workout then when we were all done and my legs were twitching and I could hardly stand, she made me run a mile, in 8:30. OMG, I thought I was going to die. My legs were so very very tired and shaky last night, I thought I would wake up unable to walk this am, but so far so good.
I started my day with a protein shake ( just 4 oz) and now I am enjoying my coffee.

( ok so now it is 12 hours later and my computer was acting funny all day and i have lost my train of thought... DUH......so i will just upload my pics and finsih quick!)

Changing the topic....
we had a Fischer family photo shoot over the weekend, 8 adults and 8 kids and here are a few of the pics
