February 2010 BLAST!
FUN-UARY!!!
Happy LOVE Month EVERYBODY! This is a month I’m going to remember for the REST of my life. On February 28th, 2010 I’m getting married to the lovely Ms Jessica Rose Clark, wwwoooowww. Thank you to everyone whose played a part in our lives. We can’t believe it… It’s a mix of a lot of special sparkly emotions 
Aannndd funnily enough we both feel a special bond to fitness as we met for the first time on the stairwell at the Greenwich Village Equinox. You never know who you might run into? Happy Valentines Day, Happy February, Happy Everything!
* SHORT CUT STORY
As fitness professional I get asked a lot of questions.
How can I get fit faster?
Why is it so much easier for her or him?
What’s the next hot thing? Am I missing something? Is there a trick?
I stand here to tell you there are no tricks annndd it isn’t easier for her or him. The “New Hot Thing” is made up so that people can make money, sell advertising and keep you feeling like you are not enough. But the truth is YOU are enough. You can do this… The squat, the push-up, and the jumping jack have been around forever because they wwoorrk. You don’t need anything fancy to get a great body. All you need is a desire to do it, the poise to stick with it when it doesn’t happen immediately, and the confidence to believe it will happen.
There are no short cuts. You have to work for it and earn it. If a workout seems too easy it probably is. If you’re looking to lose 10lbs and you’re not sweating up a storm or huffin and puffin it’s not going to happen. It isn’t easier for anyone… The only difference between people with great bodies and average bodies comes from within. They are willing to do whatever it takes- Wake-up at 5.30am in the morning- fine, no carbs with dinner- fine. NO EXCUSES baby annd if you think that’s easy you’re dead wrong. GREAT bodies take great effort.
It’s hard… but do you want to know what the reward is? It’s being able to look into that mirror and be proud of yourself… Not just you on the outside but proud of you on the inside. It takes courage and strength of character to be consistent everyday and trust your journey. Trust in you… to never give up and BRING IT. Bring it even when you’re tired, even when you don’t want to.
I find a lot of times… My motivation, my drive, my strength come from the same thing that at one point in my life made me feel my weakest. There are no shorts-cuts to greatness, it happens everyday on that bike, in the main studio, on that treadmill… When YOU go for it! Great bodies happen over time. YES time. Sometimes it takes years to get where you want to be, but then you can look back and say… I did that, I did it.
You know you can do it… Go for it in FEBRUARY! Show yourself how strong you really are.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
It’s a fresh start. Today is Monday January 4th, 2010. We’re 4 days into a new year… Imagine how GREAT your life is going to be this year starting now. Believe in 2010, Believe that anything’s possible.
* The YOU Mission
Make this year “The Year” you remember for the rest of your life. What do you want to make happen this year? Anyone who knows me knows I’m a HUGE Fan of writing my dreams and goals down on paper.
I find that people often get stuck in the process of writing it down because they can’t fathom how they’re going to get there? But that’s the miracle part of the process, you don’t have to know how you’re going to get there you just have to write it down. I truly believe that if you put your mind, your soul, and your body into your dreams the rest will fall into place.
You never have to know how you’re going to get there… You just have to know that you want it and you’re willing to do whatever it takes.
* I’m going to tell you a little story.
Every Year when I’m flying home for the Holidays I take the time to make a list of The Top 20 Goals I want to achieve in the year. I write down crazy things way outside of my comfort zone and I write down goals I believe I can accomplish personally, professionally, and physically.
Once I nail down my Top 20 Goals for 2010 I’ll put them on the wall right above my desk and look at them every day. I put life into them by contacting people I know who have expertise in the areas of the goals… I put life into them by saying yes to opportunities that scare me a little. Opportunities I know will get me closer to where I want to be, so I can cross off #19 from the list
I’m going to share with you 4 goals I had last year. Goals that often seemed impossible… Goals that people said I would never accomplish
Be a Featured Fitness Expert on The Today Show in 2009 – I was the featured fitness expert on The Today Show December 6, 2009, Check out my website! http://www.laceystonefitness.com/video.htm - How did that happen? Not how you’d think.
Be Voted One of the Top 10 Trainers in New York in 2009– I was voted one of the Top 7 Trainers by Timeout Magazine on December 14th, 2009. http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/spas-sport/81637/top-trainers/4.html
Develop my relationship with Nike, become a consultant, develop revolutionary workout programs with them, anndd get lots of freeee cloootthhesss – Nike invited me to their Headquarters in Oregon January 10-12, 2010.
Share my love with Jessica Clark every single day and ask her to marry me. – We are getting married in Mexico on February 28th, 2010.
Why am I sharing this with you? Because I want you to achieve your dreams and be the person you were born to be. I stand here to tell you that anything’s possible. I’m just a girl from Wisconsin who goes after my Top 20 Goals everyday, and the thrill of achieving almost every goal from my 2009 list feels Glorious. 2010 is the YEAR people, make it happen.
