What would you do if you were diagnosed with a brain tumor, and had to undergo major brain surgery not once, but twice?
Would you be scared?
How would you keep a positive attitude?
Would it change your perspective on life?
Now I want to ask you another question…
What kind of lame excuses have you used for not working out?
I don’t have enough time…
I don’t feel like it…
I forgot my gym shoes…
It’s too cold out…
I don’t feel like driving to the gym…
Pretty lame excuses if you ask me.
Especially when you consider that my friend and bootcamp member Amy recently had 2 major brain surgeries and was back working out less than 2 weeks after her second surgery.
With the support of her twin sister April, she was able to maintain a positive attitude throughout.
Watch the video of Amy’s story and let me know what you think.
I don’t know where the heck you would put it, or how you would even move it.
I think lifting it would be your workout.
Now the thing that I that I thought was funny was that the guy admits his machine has a very high selling price, but he says the ROM 4-minute workout is the ‘absolute least expensive method of exercise available
to all income groups above the poverty line.’
Is that so?
Are you telling me there are no other exercise methods cheaper than 15 grand?
I was minding my own business, working from home, when all of the sudden there was a knock at my door.
It was Federal Express handing me a letter coming from a law firm in Miami, Florida.
Apparently they didn’t like what I had to say about a certain diet that I talked about in the Abs Uncrunched Show Episode 2 and 3 and they are threatening to sue me if I don’t take down the blog posts and videos.
Among other things they said, “Your false and malicious statements have injured, and continue to injure, my clients’ business reputation and associated trademarks. Within twenty-four hours (24) of your receipt of this letter, you are hereby demanded to (1) cease and desist your improper conduct, and (2) remove (and/or cause the removal of) from any websites )including, without limitation, any websites, directly or indirectly, owned, operated and/or controlled by you, and/or any social networking/sharing websites, such as YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, etc) any and all reference (direct or indirect and express or implied) to (name of diet withheld), my clients’ products, and my clients’ trademarks, including, without limitation:
They then proceed to tell me to take down my entire blog posts of the Abs Uncrunched Show Episode 2 and Episode 3, the related videos and all comments.
My friend Holly Rigsby has created an incredible community of mom’s who are blasting belly fat, making friends, and having just a downright good ‘ole time.
Her training system that she developed is called Fit Yummy Mummy and she even put together a fun, supportive community of mom’s called Club FYM.
Holly has even helped a woman named Deb who is 51 years young and has had 8 kids slim down to a size 4.
Anyway, Holly recently met up with some Fit Yummy Mummy’s in Dayton Ohio for some lunch, shopping and lots and lots of laughing.
Check it out, in the latest episode of the Abs Uncrunched Show
Have an amazing day.

P.S. Those in or near Dallas, if you want to get together to meet for some fun (without the shopping), just leave a comment right here.
Here’s a picture of Holly and I back in September at a conference.
I’d like to take a moment to honor and recognize our veterans (including my dad) who have served our country to protect us and fight for our freedom.
My dad served in the United States Marines Corps and today the USMC turns 233 years old.
The birthplace of the Marine Corps is right in the heart of Philadelphia.
On November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress commissioned Samuel Nicholas to raise two Battalions of Marines.
That very day, Nicholas set up shop in Tun Tavern, Philadelphia.
He appointed Robert Mullan, then the proprietor of the tavern, to the job of chief Marine Recruiter — serving, of course, from his place of business at Tun Tavern. Prospective recruits flocked to the tavern, lured by (1) cold beer and (2) the opportunity to serve in the new Corps of Marines.
So, yes, the U.S. Marine Corps was indeed born in Tun Tavern.
Needless to say, both the Marine Corps and the tavern thrived during this new relationship.
My dad (and other family members) in the picture below. Thanks dad for your commitment and service to the country.
Here’s the workout we did in today;s bootcamp in honor!
