Wow, what an incredible weekend. I spent the last two days in NYC surrounded by fellow classmates and some of the leading experts in nutrition, business, marketing, relationships and fitness. The IIN live event was packed with information as well as possibilities. It’s too much to process right at the moment. What I can say is that I feel inspired and radically motivated to make even more positive shifts in my life. I am so very thankful that I allowed this experience into my life and therefor into the lives of those around me. I truly believe that this education that I am receiving, will be the catalyst for so many people that I know and those I haven’t met yet, to find their best personal health. This isn’t just afterglow from the conference either. It’s already happening, little by little. Clients, family, and friends are already looking to me for guidance and support. It can only get better from here.
So, for the first 2 days of my March Challenge, I was able to get way more exercise than I thought would be possible this weekend. I figured with all the sitting and listening, I’d have very little chance for activity. Not so. Yesterday morning during the conference, we did about 10 or 15 minutes of yoga and stretching. In the afternoon, we had a full on dance party complete with strobe lights and blasting music. Amazingly energizing. At the end of the day, I basically ran (OK, walked really really fast) to Port Authority Bus Terminal to catch my bus back to NJ. It was a little over a mile and I was a sweaty mess by the time I got to my bus. I’d say that filled my exercise requirement for the day. Today, we had an amazingly energizing session with Serena Jain doing Masala Dance. It was only 15 minutes, but it woke us all up and got everyone’s heart pumping. I could feel the excitement and joy going through the auditorium as we all got into it. There was a feeling of mutual pride at seeing how well our bodies moved together. Again, after the conference today I needed to rush off to the bus terminal to catch a certain bus back home. This time there really was some running happening. Luckily I made it just in time to get a seat and start reviewing all of my notes from the weekend. And wow, looking back over the last two days I am astounded by this education I am receiving.
All in all, I am pretty darn proud of myself for getting an amazing start on this personal challenge. Dancing, yoga, stretching, walking and even a little running. Not bad, Theresa. Not bad at all.
How was your weekend? What did you do to start your March Challenge?
