GUYS I HAVE AN IDEA!!

I have decided to turn this blog thing I have painstakingly(lol) developed over the months into a- Wait for it- “Personal Development Forum.” Maybe I’ll turn awesome people more awesome.

A forum would be a place to share ideas and success stories, to issue personal growth challenges and record our progress. I can’t imagine a ton of people will be super interested in something like this (I like to think I’m pretty unique) but on the off chance a dozen individuals or so participate, we could have a pretty cool thing going. I’ve started a new job and have been pretty busy, but I’ve began to miss my old hobbies like improving myself. I’ll get a forum up today-ish and see about recruiting a few people to start some topics! If you have any ideas/tips to get my coworker to stop singing along to everything that pops up on pandora let me know. If you have suggestions for the forum, I suppose I’ll listen to those too.



Let’s do this!



In other news, I have a new job, a new couple goals, some career direction, and an intent to move to Seattle this coming summer.

My Breakup Blog slash Resolution

SO I’ve officially been dumped for the first time in my life. It didn’t hurt as bad as I’ve been told. Been an interesting experience. NOW on to something productive- I’m sure you guys (see how I implied readership) don’t want to hear about my lack of a love life. With my breakup comes the resolution- you know, “I’m doing this different and I’m going to start doing that thing I’ve been meaning to”. You all have the pleasure of reading the resolution first- go ahead and let me know what you think of it.


1. Moving back home(I say to cut costs, but we all know its because I miss my mommy)

2. Continue working out, and work out harder than ever. Want to see some success? Go check the mirror.

3. Save the world.( Go ahead and laugh, but we all know obesity is running riot in this country and I’M going to stop it, since no one else has taken the initiative. A website is going up soon called www.FitsContagious.com that readers are required to visit at least once. It will rock your world.)

4. Make my damn dream board- I’ve been procrastinating that thing for a year now, I need to get in gear and get it done.

5. Get a new hobby

6. Maybe two

7. Get serious with my blogging, get serious with everything else while I’m at it.




Well that is what I have so far.. if I can accomplish all of these I’ll be feeling pretty good. And will probably have some sort of award if I accomplish number three, so that will be pretty cool. I’ve been looking into Bouldering as a new hobby for me.. if anyone in Portland is interested hit me up. My brother is practicing magic now so I could do that too.. the world is full of limitless possibilities. The point is not what I am doing, but that I am doing something to improve myself. Do something every day to improve yourself in some small way.. I started doing that and look at me! Incredibly successful blog already. To be honest, my one-step-a-day approach has been feeling slow lately. Now I’m thinking two or three steps a day needs to be my minimum. My friends say I’m rushing through life, but I just want to get to the top of the ride(rollercoaster metaphor) and enjoy the view a little longer than most people do. Just look for the camera to snap a picture of my face during the exciting part.


Have a good day, go out and do something heroic!

Drop and Give me Twenty

Well my horde of loyal fans, I’m currently sitting in my BeachBody booth at the Clark County Fair, trying to help our countrymen stop sucking at life. Thirty percent of us ( 2/3 adults, 1/5 kids) are obese (thats 25% fat for men, 30% fat for women) and increasing. I want to help people get healthy and most of the people walking by won’t even make eye contact unless they are already in relatively good shape. If they are in shape, they come and talk to me because guess what- the are already using the products I’m showing off. It seems like all the people who need to get in shape are too lazy to even talk to me about fitness.. which I guess is why they are out of shape in the first place.

If you want to continue to read the blog, I require you to do twenty pushups right now. I’m totally serious, i’m going to hijack your webcam and make sure- if you don’t, I’ll ban you FOR LIFE (I can’t do this yet but seriously, do it). If you do, post in the bottom comments and I’ll give you kudos in my next post and on my facebook page (it’s new, check it out! ). I did sixteen wide-set pullups the other day in a booth here at the fair and I’m calling people out to do pushups with me. I’m turning into a fitness freak! I got called hot yesterday for the first time (that I know of) and it felt good. I THOROUGHLY encourage everyone to go out and get a fitness program- I’m doing P90X right now- and get in the best shape of your life

Being healthy, in addition to letting you live to see grandkids, makes you feel GOOD all day even if you don’t do anything else special. I’m looking around at all the people out of shape and overweight, and I feel pretty damn good about how I’ve changed my life and am pursuing a more fit and healthy lifestyle. I’ll have to post about this stuff on here now and then so I dont kill my roommate with pushup competition.

SO back to what I’m doing here. I’ve recently become a distributor for BeachBody(its like a Mary Kay program) so MY job is to help people when they have questions about fitness or nutrition or are having problems with motivation, etc. If you’re already doing a program and need help or you aren’t but you would like to, visit www.fitguyty.com and sign up as a free player (it really IS free, not some sales ploy) and it will put you under me, and I’ll help you with anything you need!

Be all you can be and make sure you do those pushups.
