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.

Old Post- What Kind of Business Should I Start?

This really is a note to self, but I think it will be interesting to write out a thought process for others to read, and it will save it so I can check it out later. I’m kind of excited.


SO- I want to find out how I can use the stuff I’m good at to start my own business, or develop a secondary income.

HOW? Ok, first I need to figure out what I’m good at, as many things that I can think of. Not just what I’m good at though, but what I enjoy doing. Even if I’m not good at something I know that if I like to do it I’ll become good at it soon enough. It’s important to be a hundred percent honest with yourself when you do this, most people may be uncomfortable with letting others see into their head like this, but I’m trying to expand my comfort zone.

THINGS I’M GOOD AT- I really like brainstorming and I think I’m pretty dang good at it. I’m really interested in Social Networking and Media- like facebook, twitter, etc.- and the potential for their use as a marketing and research tool. I love to think, and I think I’m good at that too. It fits right in with brainstorming but they’re slightly different so I get to write them both. I really think I would be good at managing others, and I love big projects.

HOW DO I USE WHAT I’M GOOD AT TO GET WHAT I WANT- Well, first you should decide what exactly it is that you want. I’ll be using my example- Develop a secondary income or own business.
So, my next step is to try and figure out how to use as many of my strengths at a time that I can in order to accomplish my goal. Looking at the things I think I’m good at, brainstorming, social networking, and things that I enjoy, like projects and thinking. Three of ideas for myself right off the top of my head would be a project manager, website admin and blog writer. Each of these jobs I could do from the comfort of my own home if I worked it right, and I could utilize all of my strengths while doing something that I enjoyed.

The next step is to figure out which of these three things is most obtainable. I think a project manager could be a possibility only if I got a degree and work experience (I’m shooting for sooner than that) or if I made my own company. I’m currently trying to become a decent blog writer right now, so we’ll check that one off as “feasible”. I like the way my site is looking and my general subject matter, I just need to muster the creative energies to write more extensively. I have no idea how you become a website administrator or how much they get paid, but it’s a job I could do from any location I think and it sounds pretty interesting.

Just like that, I’ve found a few ideas for ways to make money that fit right in with my strengths. Obviously it will be a little more difficult for you, because I had these thought out ahead of time and you may just be starting. Try to think using these steps though, and let me know how they work out. If you think a step is unnecessary or you have one to add, email me! lefebvret@hotmail.com.
