[WEEKENDS, WEIGHTLOSS & SELF-SABOTAGE] Save or tag anyone this could help Weekends have a different rhythm to them than weekdays.... And I know you think or feel that you deserve to just wing your nutrition and you should be able to eat spontaneously. But what you really DESERVE is to learn to be consistent so you can be the healthy, fit, happy person who want to be. I hate to say it but the weekend mindset is an excuse to blame. And blame is the biggest sabotager of our personal responsibility and empowerment. MOST of the time, getting shape (and staying in shape) .... Is not about the diet. It has EVERYTHING to do with your mindset. Your: Thoughts + Feelings = Actions If you've been stuck in the weightloss journey or any journey to achieve a goal and you're not where you want to be. It's NOT the diet. It's time to start working on the inside stuff. You know that thing that controls your whole life. That thing on the top of your head and inside your chest and start to build a better relationship with yourself. Start looking there because it is there you'll find the REAL reasons why you're not where you want to be. Learn about yourself. Learn to improve your self image. Learn what a healthy lifestyle actually looks like for you. What attitude and perception do you have around your goals. Journal some stuff. Cultivate your awareness. Read some books. Reconnect with who you really are. Get back to what feels good for you. Build stronger relationships. Get around people who challenge you to grow. Forgive yourself and others. Get playful. Set boundaries. Take risks and do hard things. Challenge your thoughts. Be more grateful for the present. Try new things. Let go of the past. There's nothing there for you. Don't let your emotions make your decisions. Take responsibility for life and where you are. Stop making your whole life about a diet. Start focusing on making your life more fulfilling. And take more action in other areas of your life. Don't let your need for immediate gratification to sabotage what you want in the long run. You'll just end up with more of your current reality. Weekends are opportunities for you to practice your mental resilience for what you desire. Take advantage of it. Don't let your attitude about the weekends take advantage of you. What do you do to stay consistent over the weekends? Ps. I have 1 Spot left for June enrollment for 1:1 Online Coaching. Send me a DM or comment "I'm ready" and I will reach out to you personally.

DO YOU HAVE WEAK BOUNDARIES WITH YOUR FITNESS GOALS? We all know someone who has been on a diet and hasn't achieved their body goal... And when you share yours, it can lead to them projecting their fears, judgements and criticisms onto you because of their experiences. The other day, I had a conversation with a client who has 2 family members who struggle with their weight and where 3 scinerios came up where she had to uphold her personal boundaries....Continue reading

My MISSION as a coach is to help woman change how they THINK about about getting fit. To think independently. More often our desire to have a great body isn't solely on just wanting to just be better, healthier, or stronger....Continue reading

Are you waiting for life to go back to normal? 3 weeks of social distancing and life being a bit of a hot mess right now. But I would like for you for a second to review all the hard changes you've been able to endure over these weeks.... Such as: Figuring out new schedules/routines New ways of working out New ways of not eating all the tempting food in your house New ways of being with you're partner, kids, roommates ALL OF THE TIME New ways of keeping the house clean and organized New ways of working from home or running your business New ways of dealing with uncomfortable feelings & fears New ways of eating well with lack of resources New ways of connecting with friends and family New ways of managing your stress, finances & sanity. So the next time you say "change is too hard" kindly remind yourself of all this because you just proved to yourself otherwise. So give yourself credit bc nobody knows how to go through this. Things are not normal, change is hard, we feel vulnerable and we are all being forced to go through it. But YOU get to decide what your new normal is going to be. Here is what I do know. While it's absolutely ok not to be ok, to take space, to process everything, to take a break from chaos. It's also beneficial for you to maintain some sort of normalcy that you need now and to thrive in your new normal. Like: Having a daily routine Making your bed Having tiny habit goals Organizing your home Structuring some kind of movement /exercise (helps with mood management) Have different conversations outside of covid-19 Plan date nights, virtual social hour, family nights, etc Focus on health practices Putting on makeup & regular clothes Here is the thing. What everyone is telling you "should" do is also a projection of their beliefs. So make sure you're checking in with yourself and doing what's right for you. At the end of the day, we feel better, choose better, thrive better, THINK better, perform better when we have simple staples like routine and structure in place. Make this week your week to start creating your NEW normal. Get rid of stuff that no longer serves you and add in what will help you stay healthy and sane during this time and can bring into the future. Don't panic, plan. How are you doing in week 3?
