Fat Loss Lifestyle Blog

Hello Fellow Fitness Fellows,

It is -25 degree’s below zero here in the Windy City in the middle of Jan. ;  my furnace in my Fitness Labratory keeps going out (I have the Furnace repair company on speed dial; swear) and I think I got hypo thermia yesterday.

It has snowed so much here that I get 30 minutes of shoveling in ( I clean my driveway off for my family to get to town and to get to the school bus and then I go to my fitness labratory and clean 4 slots for my trainers and first 2 clients of the day) all before my first client at 5:30 a.m.

Since I must do my own interval cardio, stretching, meditating, incantating goals, hanging upsided down (for decompression of back as well as other things) and get my 10 clients files and work-outs ready for the day;  I get up around 3:45 a.m.

One of my most incredible client success stories of all time;  Big Brian Karneboge (he reversed myotonic dystrophy with the Fatloss LifeStyle and a belief that he could) was one of the 16 clients who got trained in my Eskimo Dome/club and his pinkie turned white cause it started to get frost bite.  So we simply put a big glove on his hand and finished the work out.

I really did start to get some hypo thermia type symptoms, but the furnace guy showed up at the end of the day,  climbed on top of the building, kicked the unit (ala “the fonz”) and got the ole sucker to start puttin out enough heat to get us through the day.

I was down stairs doing some “No Equipment Needed” exercises before my 3 girls woke up (and the other 4 girls my 2 daughters had spend the night / ohh please save me from this estrogen ocean); and the rubber exercise cord broke as I was doing a very heavy intense set of standing biceps curls and my fist cracked my nose so hare that my eyes were watering for 10 minuts.  I swear I think it is broken.

Everyone comin in the door is telling me how cold it is, how cold the weatherman says it is going to get tonight or tommorrow.  Their tellin me how much the dow fell, their tellin me which Real Estate Mogul/ Hedge fund mangager blew his brains out.  Their also tellin me that Bally’s is filing for bankruptcy.  The trainers around the country are calling me/emailing me to ask me if they can work with me/ for me cause their club is cutting cause of the hard financial times.

With all that being said;   a lot of people might not be really excited about things.  But I am here to tell you that I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.  Every day is the best day of my life;  and it just keeps gettin better.

You see they are telling me these things cause they know that I do not watch tv;  or listen to radio, or talk to my neighbors (at least not what they want to talk about).  Cause a few years ago; one of my mentors told me not to do that.  They told me that what everyone else is doing, thinking, and saying will not get me to where I want to go.  My mentor was living a dream life,  a life like I wanted;  so I decided  to follow the simple strategy of hanging with who I wanted to be like.  And it is working.  And working very well.

You see my clients tell me whats going on because they think that I am missing out;  and I need to know the current events.  But I am here to tell you; that I think (and I tell them) that they are missing out.  They are missing out on the chance to have a dream life;  until they stop spending time, energy, and thoughts on what everyone else is saying.

Now I am gonna stop right here to tell you that by telling you what is going on in my families life; my simple agenda is not to brag or gloat;  it is to lead by example.  Cause if good ole Darin (I drove a truck full time for 18 years) can do it;  so can anyone and everyone.

What I can tell you about my personal life is that I am living a dream life.  I am more in love with my wife Julie (14 years) than ever before.  I am by far a better husband and father to my two daughters than ever.

I love God, myself, and have loving relationships growing with several others.  I absoulutely love what I do for a living.  Each year since I quit being a truck driver and started helping people as a Healthy LifeStyle Coach (Aug. 2001) my income has doubled each year.  I will make a million $$$ in 09.  And I estimate I will make 10 million $$$$ in 2010.  But the real exciting thing about the money is that it does not have a grip on me any more.

It did for years.  You see;  I absoulutely know that “Money is Very Important;  But Yet it is Not”.  Money is not good;  nor is it bad.  It will only excentuate who you are.  You see for years I had a warped sense of money.  It totally controlled me.  But not any more.

I give 5% of my income to the needy.  If I need to go take my wife or a loved one to see Depoch Chopra (a holistic doctor) on the other side of the planted to seek out a holistic therapy for a health challenge;  I can.  I am not worried about bills.  This is a great liberating feeling.

I know that I am going to be able to do a great job as the leader of my family, my Healthy LifeStyle Clients, fellow chuch members, fellow business associates,  mastermind group members, and even strangers.

I know that I am aligning myself with some very successful; influential people in the health and fitness industry;  Tom Venuto (Burn The Fat), Dr. Joseph Mercola (www.Mercola.com), Tim Ferris (Four Hour Work Week), Brian Kuzdas (Own A Condo.com), Bo Jackson, Oprah Winfrey.

My address book in my cell phone has over 500 people that would help me if I need something;  my list for my health and fitness companies has over 50,000 people on it.  And I predict that it will have 500,000 on it by years end.

I have never been this fit, lean, flexible, energetic (with no caffiene, ephedra, etc), still drug free in my life.  And at the age of 43 years old, I am just starting to get spirituality.  I have a calmness in my heart that I have never had before.  My stress levels have never been lower.  I absolutely know that I have never been this healthy.  I have never been this creative.

I feel like I am about 19 years old;  just gettin started in life.

I predict that I will live long, strong, totally independant and energetic to 115 years old.  I will leave a legend behind with my family, friends, and strangers that will echo for generations / and forever.  The ripple effect is very strong.

I TELL YOU THESE THINGS;  NOT TO IMPRESS YOU;  BUT TO IMPRESS UPON YOU;  YOU CAN DO IT TOO!

   And if you are not feeling great about your body, lifestyle, and your life;  YOU CAN TURN IT AROUND FAST!  I did, and so can you.

I almost fell apart, as little as one year ago.  With the stress’s of leaving UPS, having a small time fitness business, and being the sole income provider for my family, I had many challenges but now have reasons to believe (especially from many other client telling me), I am the Best Personal Trainer on Earth which many believe to be the truth.  I started to listen to the news, the neighbors, and the talk out on the streets about the economy, the polotics, the times.

At the end of the great depression in the 30′s there were many people that jumped off of buildings and put a gun to their head.  But if you do your research;  you will find that there were many, many millionaires made because the bought everything at a very low price.

What was the difference between the new millionaires and the guys in caskets?   A simple shift in a thought.  Is your glass 1/2 full, or is it half empty?

If you want to surround yourself with a social support team that will assure that you continually get reminded of your glass being 1/2 full;  make sure to hang around me at FATLOSS LIFESTYLE.com and at MAJOR LEAGUE HEALTH,  AND SOME OF MY FRIENDS;
