Have you made the Bex Life Pact yet? You know, the one where we promise to inspire each other through radiating positivity and letting our real selves shine through for the world to see. Yeah, that one – make the pact!
This blog is just my little journal on the web… I haven’t been schooled in motivation or sunny thoughts. I just talk about what I love, attempt to share my story in a positive way, and hope you find some spark of inspiration in it. But the thing I love most about my blog is the inspiration I get from all of you. You. Are. Awesome!
I can’t wait to wake up every morning to all the amazing emails, comments, and messages I get from my followers. You’ve kept me blogging and making videos through the most difficult and exciting times in my life. You’ve been my friend since I posted my first workout video on YouTube two years ago (yikes!), through my fourth pregnancy, and until today (I still can’t believe how much has happened in twenty-four short months).
Since we have this whole pact thing going on, I thought it might be ok for me to ask you for a favor. I’ve sorta let myself go after I had Summer eight months ago. If you follow me regularly, you know that my life is extra crazy (just read my last few blogs for the deets). I’m a little embarrassed to say that I’m slowly falling into a terrible rut of too little exercise and too much self-criticism. And WAY too much eating like this:
oh, sweet Colombian takeout from my favorite Brooklyn restaurant
I want you to watch my video (scroll down and hit the play button!) and just do me the tiny favor of commenting with your answers to two questions… you can do it here or on the video on YouTube. And remember to check back and read other people’s comments – inspire each other! I told you in the last blog that I’m starting a new video series with my own personal trainer, Daryl (PPRJGetStrong.com), and I hope you’ll incorporate these workouts into your own fitness routine. One week down, lots to go. We’re a team, sexy peeps… do it with me!
But even with all my whining and complaining and ignoring my own fitness, I’m not completely in the dumps. I got re-amped during a very fun week in NYC, hitting up a couple YouTube/Google events and chatting it up with some YouTubers I seriously admire (including the crazy funny and gorgeous, Sarah Dussault, and the shirtless wonder himself, Davey Wavey).
I also got some priceless advice from heavy hitters like DeStorm and Michael Buckley. They made me feel like I can actually do this; I can make this crazy dream of having a full-time online fitness career a reality.
I’m announcing the winner of the Veggie Kids giveaway in this week’s vlog, so watch to see if you won! VegaSport.com is also getting another mention in this vid. Comment to convince them to do a giveaway with BexLife.com! I’ve been using the supplements for a few days and I LOVE them (and I super love that they’re all natural and vegan)! A full review will be posted after a bonus workout video in a couple days.
One more thing before I go… If you’re one of the unlucky people who haven’t been moved by the super courageous Jonah Mowry, then click here to go watch his video. (But remember to come back here and hang out some more!)
