On Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, was my attempt at 20 straight pull ups.
This was the 4th performance goal I set for myself and by far the hardest for me.
I’ve always been horrible at pull ups - as a kid, I could only do 1.
At the beginning of October, I could only do a mere 6.
But then I started training pull ups 3 days a week and got much stronger at them.
I didn’t quite reach full extension on my form and I didn’t quite reach my goal, but I did more pull ups than I had ever done before, so I was pretty pleased.
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.
