What's your norm?

Do you find yourself waking up and going straight to coffee? Or stopping at your nearest Starbucks for that quick energy to keep you going? This has become a habit for so many people now days.

What about running out of time so you find yourself stopping at McDonald's or grabbing a bag of chips or cookies to stop your hunger pangs? Is it your LUCK that you catch every cold or flu?

Why do we allow this to happen? Is it normal? We have become so used to this way of living that we continue these same habits? This was me, I would wake up and rely on my Starbucks, so much that my 2 year old would wake up asking to go to Starbucks. Or when I was completely exhausted from work, that when I would pick up my kids, we would go to McDonald's for something quick. This was normal, and I justified it everytime by telling myself it was okay, I can deal with how I look. Not even paying attention to how I felt, and looking back, I felt normal, there was nothing wrong with going to Starbucks or eating McDonald's on an almost daily basis. Then I got to the point where I wanted to change my eating, I would stop at McDonald's for my kids and fix myself self something healthy beacause it was easier to get them fed with what they wanted and were used to eating. It's taken a long time to kick this habit, and sometimes I like my Starbucks treats and its still a work in progress. 

So why this long story about feeling normal and healthy and taking care of yourself? Because it's important, I have been that person that had come to terms with  my body image. I know there are many people out there, that are happy with their weight, but not happy with how they feel, and that is a direct reflection of what you are fueling your body with. I have become a beach body coach because I love the product, it works. If there is one thing I would recommend its Shakeology. We live in the Millenium, everything is go, go, go and unfortunately it affects our health and the daily habits we make.

So do me a favor.

Is this you? Do you have any of the symptoms above? Or do you want to lose weight? Be a rolemodel and teach healthy habits to your kids? STOP and take a look at your habits. What needs to change?

My next challenge group starts September 1st, last day to enroll  and be added to the group is August 19, message me for details, lets END THE TREND!!

AND BY THE WAY.... I haven't had McDonald's in exactly 92 days!!!

5 TIPS to move in the Right direction....

Let's face it, if we want something, we work for it. Think about when you wanted a car, or maybe an outfit or prom dress. I remember what my parents told me, "Get a job, if you want it you are going to have to earn it!" More and more I have seen that mentality shift or lessen. For example, your health and body shape. How many of us have blamed the way we look on our genetics or our children. I'm sure everyone has at least once. It's easy to blame something or someone else, it's like validation that it's okay to continue with the same habits. In order to become what we want, we have to "earn it" or "work for it." Mind over matter, right? So these are some of the tips that I have been focusing on. Pick one or two and run with it...
1. Identify your BLIND SPOTS, what is it that annoys/ angers/ irritates you? Take note of that, once you find what triggers this, work on how to overcome your reaction or work through them.
2. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE! Do something different, by trying something new you will learn how to act in new circumstances or environments.
3. QUIT a bad habit, and CULTIVATE a new habit! Give yourself an incentive to quit that habit, find something to replace it with that will benefit you in the long run. But pick something realistic, is now the right time to quit that habit? When picking a new habit, find one that is going to push you in the right direction, or challenge you.
4. LET GO OF THE PAST! This should be number 1 for me, forgive yourself and/or others and move on.
5. Start a challenge, at least 21 days or longer. Surround yourself with positive influences and set goals of what you want to accomplish. Spend time learning from others and creating strategies and actions to complete your goals and/or challenges.

Progress not Perfection.... Where are you to your Goals?

Getting Started

Have you ever started something, a project, a fitness routine, a goal and you didn't finish? Did you have to start over? What if I told you this challenge could change you physically and mentally? That's right, in order to lose weight, you've got to change the way you think. Have you ever heard "MIND OVER MATTER"? That's what we focus on first. So, are you tired of starting over? Let's change it once and for all!

 

So what is a challenge group?

A fitness challenge group is a small group of like minded people all working together to help each other WIN.

The fact is – I could just sell you P90X or Shakeology, earn some money for referring you to the program, and send you on your way.  And that’s exactly what a lot of coaches do.

But I want you to succeed.  I want you to feel good about yourself and I want you to reach your goals!

That’s why I started these Fitness Groups!  We all need a little PUSH now and then.  And chances are without a coach and without that support group there to hold you accountable, you are likely to fall through the cracks and never see changes in your life.  My Fitness Challenge Groups help people get the BEST results possible.
