Since my five-year Anniversary is this Sunday I’m ready to celebrate ALL weekend long! Starting off by sharing this video about all the reasons I have to #celebrate and I am looking forward to more with YOU! Huge thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey!

Mother's Day is coming up on Sunday and it is a very special day to me. Not only because I cherish my own mom, but because being a mother (and fur momma) is the greatest blessing in my life. In my job I also have the honour of working with so many moms & fur momma's who choose to spend some of their precious 'me' time with me each week either in LIVE Virtual classes or doing a class recording when the baby is sleeping, when the kids go to bed at night, or early morni...ng when everyone is asleep. So to honour all moms everywhere, I'm going to do a giveaway. Do you know a mother who wants to come to GFS or try a class recording but they have not yet taken the plunge? Like this post and tag them in it saying why they should try a class! Then, on Saturday morning I will do a DRAW! I will give away a FREE month of unlimited classes to a NEWBIE & the GFS Girl who tagged them. So start thinking about mom's who would really benefit by being given this opportunity and start tagging them on Facebook or Insta and tell them why they should try out GFS!! #gfsgirls #mothersdaygiveaway #livevirtualclasses #onlinevideorecordings #ladiesonlygym #womenwhoempowerwomen

Today is "No Diet Day" and this is your daily reminder that diet is a swear word in my books ... a really bad one! Instead, you should think of it as a #healthylifestyle and enjoy your BLISS meals! What's a BLISS meal? Raise your hand in the comments and I'll remind you with a post.... . . . #gfschallenges #gfsgirls #stepitup #stepitupfreechallenge #letsdothis #moveittoloseit #justforthehealthofit #letsdothistogether See more

Doesn't she look spectacular? Meet Julie. What I love so much about this picture is she is just oozing in happiness in this pic and you can totally tell how great she is feeling about herself, inside and out!!!! Julie has been an absolute pleasure to coach and get to know. She was patient right from the beginning, trusted in the process and just absolutely rocked it. ... The coolest thing is that not only has she made this a lifestyle BUT.....she has loved the journey so much that she is interested in pursuing nutrition coaching herself. I have never had a client who loved it to this level and I'm so excited for her. She said there would be no greater reward then helping other women lose weight & learn to live a healthier lifestyle and she is sooooooo right!! Congrats Julie! You are one amazing human! xo Here is her story! When I started out with the GFS Nutritional program on January 11, 2021 I was ready for a lifestyle change to improve my health. I was ready to listen, learn and do whatever it would take to make that happen. Shelley made the transition very manageable. Shelley works with you and provides you with a tremendous amount of information- via daily accountability check - ins, weekly video discussions and great workout sessions. All you have to do is put in the work. Today marks the end of my 16 weeks of nutritional coaching. I have lost 33.1 lbs and gained a healthier lifestyle, energy and lots of knowledge. My best advice for anyone is listen to Shelley, measure and track your food, learn to be consistent, get your exercise in and never ever give up. Be patient with yourself as you are in great hands. It’s a process that takes time. Thank you very much Shelley, for the opportunity to take part in this amazing program and providing me with the tools to maintain this healthy lifestyle. No, no thank you my friend for choosing me to be a small part of this amazing journey!! #gfsgirls #precisionnutritioncoach #onlinenutritioncoach #parisontario #virtualworkouts #healthylifestyle #beleanprogram

Indy got his pictures in and is ready for the Strut challenge starting today!!! I know, I know it is supposed to be for women but who can resist this guy? He is also going to help his owner @laurenhay kick some butt by reminding her to get her walk in every day with him!! ... Can’t wait to see his transformation!!! #gfsgirls #strutchallenge #gfschallenges #parisontario #virtualworkouts #precisionnutrition #onlinecoach

Check out our schedule for next week. We are starting our new STRUT Strength Training program to coincide with our 40 Day Bathing Suit challenge that begins Monday!!

Let's do this! #gfsgirls #upperbodypump #virtualclasses #gfschallenges #strutchallenge #letsdothis

DAY 5 - Eat Your Veggies! You should have listened to your mommy when she told you to eat your veggies! She was right. Aim for 3 cups a day & eat a rainbow of colours!

Tip 12 The final tip is the best one!!! Don't feel guilty. Plan for your meal & then enjoy it with your family. Food is meant to be enjoyed and savoured. You do not have to feel guilty for enjoying your dinner with your family.

Merry Christmas from the Gaudet’s! We love and miss you all! Xoxo

Some inspiration for the day! Meet my amazing client Joan. She is 71 years young. She began 'coming' to GFS right after COVID began because her gym shut down and she was looking for a way to continue working out during lockdown. I offered to do a specific online group for women called 'Toned In 30'. I started doing this online through Facebook and Joan readily engaged and invited friends. I gave workouts twice a week which Joan always completed and would send me messages t...hat she did them for accountability. Then in August when my studio reopened I encouraged Joan to continue with the regular GFS workout video programs but to modify as needed. She continues to go full force and sends me messages every few weeks about how she is doing and what modifications she needs (or doesn't need). Joan is awesome. She didn't make excuses and blame COVID. Instead she took the bull by the horns or in this case her health by the ears and continued eating well and working out despite the times. She is an inspiration to all. It is never too late to start or restart your fitness journey. All you have to do is...START. See more

Today is the perfect day to make it your Day 1 as it is the first Monday in January!! Never miss a January Monday! Shoot me a DM if you need help on where to start and how for nutrition and/or exercise. 2021 is going to be our year!! Let’s do this!! ... #gfsgirls #justforthehealthofit #21in2021 #letsdothis See more

Tip 11 - Homemade is always better than store bought! Homemade cookies, bread & other treats are always going to be way better for you than processed store bought varieties. So if you want to indulge, then go for Grandma's best butter tart rather than a store bought pie.

And what to your wondrous eyes do appear? Yes it is my biggest sale ever on my nutrition program! My 8 week 1-1 nutrition program is 50 % OFF from now until December 1.

What more could you give them then the gift of health? Because if you don't have your health, you literally don't have anything. Don't delay. This sale is on until December 1.

Sometimes you just have to START & Give it a TRY. Virtual workouts may not be your chosen way to workout but if they are the ONLY WAY then what do you have to lose? COVID is here to stay...don't wait for it to be over...as you may as well be waiting for he to freeze over!!!... Thank you for choosing me to be your Virtual Workout Instructor.

Green Tea A Day! Drink a green tea each day, not only to help your water count but it has so much goodness, including catechins that help burn fat & boost metabolism.

One of the most amazing things about COVID is that now I can offer the same amazing strength & cardio classes every week...and my clients do not have to brush off snow, get into a freezing car & drive in bad weather conditions to get their workout in. In the morning they can literally wake up, throw on some clothes & walk downstairs. No make up, no new cool matching Lulu outfit, no freezing your a-- off required. I love this so much for them! I...n the evening they can get home from work, throw supper in the oven, go do their 35 min class & be upstairs ready to pop in the side dish. It is just so convenient! #workoutfromhome #onlinespinclass #virtualspinclass #womenwholift #gfsgirls #workoutfromanywhere #bestcardioworkout #womenscardioworkouts #workoutvideos #noequipmentworkout #fullbodyworkouts #totalbodyworkout #onlineworkouts #virtualworkouts #womensstrengthtraining #thankyoucovid See more

Tip 10 - Use Your Carbs Wisely! If there is a sweet or dessert that you just absolutely want over the holidays the best time to eat it is right before your workout. The sugar will give you immediate energy and will help you push harder during your workout.

Every day I get a text or someone tells me in person they are sore. I'm not going to lie...most times it puts a smile on my face....of course only when my client is sore in the right places. Do you have to be sore the next day for it to have been a good workout? No. If you are like me and you workout a lot, you don't get sore from every workout, or at least maybe you don't realize that you are just always sore and that is not normal. :) ... You usually feel sore if you are new to exercising, you pushed yourself a little harder, challenged yourself a little more, or if your trainer/instructor did something new and different with you...we call that Shelley fun in class. The great thing about being sore though is you know you got a good workout, you know your body is changing, and you know your getting stronger. All great things. So remember that next time you have trouble sitting on the toilet (sorry not sorry), you can't brush your hair without wincing, or you are hobbling around like an old man. #gfsgirls #soretodaystrongtomorrow #sorrynotsorry #personaltrainer #parisontario #ladieswholift #ladiesstrengthtraining #womenonlygym #liftheavy See more

Cheers to my girl Hillary who is finishing off this crazy year with a BIG BANG...in the form of 20 pounds lost. Here is her testimonial of my Be Lean Nutrition Program: "I started the (nutrition) program on November 2 and after nearly 8 weeks, I am down just over 20lbs. Shelley has helped change my relationship with food. I have always enjoyed exercise, but now I know how and what to eat on different exercise days. I now have the tools to continue my we...ight loss journey and sustain this new lifestyle indefinitely. Food no longer rules my life. It's a really freeing feeling.Thanks Shelley for all of your guidance and support throughout my journey." She is giving herself the gift of HEALTH for Christmas!! She did an 8 week carb-cycling program & rocked it! She checked in on the daily, made adjustments as needed & accepted my feedback with ease. So proud of you my friend & can't wait to see what 2021 brings you! Do you want to be next? DM me for the next available start up date in January 2021!! #gfsgirls #onlinenutritioncoach #healthylifestyle #beleanprogram #proudcoachmoment #giftofhealth #endoff2020withabang See more

Day 3...AMRAP. You are going to do a simple workout today that you can use as an indicator of progress in the workout department in the 3 short weeks we are together. You are going to set your timer for 15 minutes and do As Many Rounds of Possible of: 5 Nurpees (or Walk Outs) 10 Hand Release Push Ups (wall or knees if needed)... 15 Squats (chair squats, air squats, jump squats) 20 Side Lunges (can add a hop) Record your score as how many rounds and reps you completed...eg. 4 rounds, 15 reps is 4.15.

Are you putting off your workout until the perfect day, week or month happens? Guess what? This is never going to happen. *Perfect Day...Are you busy today and can only get 10 min in? 10 minutes is better than zero! Do 10 min of abs, do 2 tabata circuit rounds or jump on your elliptical and do sprints for 10 min and you will feel good that you did it as something is always better than nothing. *Perfect Week...Can you or did you only get... 2 workouts in this week? That is perfectly fine. You are lapping everyone that didn't get any in. Fitness is not all or nothing. If you only get 1 workout in this week it is still so good for you and better than missing a whole week because you can't get your 3 per week goal. *Perfect Month...Are you putting off exercise until January as December is just too busy? Getting into any routine now is better than waiting four more weeks. Develop a simple routine that you can do even if it attend 1 spin class a week or walk the dog 2 days per week and then in January when you are less busy it will be easier to get into a more advanced routine as you already have something in place. So don't wait for the perfect day, week or month...just start. Your future self will thank you tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. #goaldigger #agoalwithoutaplanisjustawish #decemberisthenewjanuary #don'tletcovidstandinyourway #youvegotthis #yesyoucan #gfsgirls #ladiesonlygym #virtualworkouts #parisontario #workoutfromhome See more
