Midweek motivation! The first month of 2022 is almost over. Did you accomplish your goals?... Did you make healthy choices? Did you show up for yourself each day? If you can't answer yes to those, guess what.. that's OKAY. Recognize what you did well, what you could do differently, and how you can be better. It all starts with you. Let's end this month with the mindset we need to go after what we want.

Lifting heavy makes you bulky Lifting heavy makes you STRONG, POWERFUL and CONFIDENT This common misconception prevents soooo many people from lifting heavy and exploring their true potential when it comes to strength training. ... Getting bulky IE gaining a significant amount of muscle mass is a formula that takes work both in and out of the gym, it doesn’t happen overnight and it most certainly doesn’t happen by accident. So what’s the truth? The truth is that it’s entirely possible to train for strength while keeping muscle gain to a minimum, if that’s what you want! Lifting heavy doesn’t give you one particular body type but lifting heavy WILL make you strong, powerful and confident

The 3 reasons why most women get turned upside down by the Fitness Industry # - Everyone and their brother has heard of keto, low carb, paleo, Intermittent fasting and trendy detoxes to achieve the body of their dreams. ... What about "today's trend" is specific to your body and life? What makes these gurus qualified to give you advice? To us, success doesn't mean getting healthy and fit once. . It means learning the mindset, habits, and knowledge that will allow you to maintain your health for a lifetime. Most Guru’s and diet trends you see today disappear without a trace in a few years. So instead, learn from coaches who are proven to have success. With methods that are proven to work with all kinds body types, nutritional needs and fitness levels. # - This one is controversial but true. Too many times I see individuals inspired to lose weight and get healthy dive head first into something. Especially new and old trends destined to fail from the start. Going keto, bull sh#t cleanses, whole 30, bootcamp classes unspecific to the needs of the clients. # - Without some kind of commitment, without someone holding you accountable, how likely will you be to achieve your goals? You know you better than anyone else, but for many, this simple piece is a necessity.

Q: Every afternoon I get tired and hungry! What should I do? A: There are a couple things to try! First, make sure you’re eating enough for breakfast and lunch, and include some protein-rich foods. Protein can help keep you feeling full and satisfied and is less apt to contribute to that midday lull feeling.... Second, there is nothing wrong eating a between-meal snack! Make it a healthy choice that can tide you over until dinner. Planning ahead so you have something on-hand is key here! Think about items like fruit, nuts, or Greek yogurt.

Favorite place to get a workout: indoors or outdoors?

Quick tip to help you avoid the iffy sniff test when it comes to leftovers ... Make sure you label ALL of your leftovers and prepped food BEFORE you put them in the fridge or freezer! It doesn’t have to be a fancy label. A piece of masking tape and a magic marker will do the trick. Just write what’s inside the container and (most important of all) THE DATE.... I know we always THINK we will remember when we put that leftover stir-fry in the fridge, but too many times we don’t! There’s no point in doing meal prep ahead of time if you just end up throwing it out! Do you label everything before you put it in the fridge? Let me know below! :-)

What do YOU do to get motivated?

If you need a dose of motivation to finish 2020 strong, try this: Look through your email contacts or social media followers/friends lists for the names of 5-7 people who have inspired you in the past. It could be someone whose work you admire someone pushed you to work harder at a job or in school who posts inspirational content that you enjoy ... or whose dedication in the gym or on the playing field made you want to try harder! ... Then, every day for the next 5-7 days choose one of them to message with a thank you and be sure to tell them the impact they made on you! This can help break you out of a rut and rev up your own motivation! Plus, it’s a great way to pay it forward. Try it and see. :)
