New Years reSOLUTION

As we reflect on last year, and plan for a new year, we have the ability to learn from the past, to grow, and to have a fresh start.

Heading into the New Year, we have the power to make a change by setting resolutions. But those resolutions only work with a solid plan, support, and accountability!

Almost everyone will make a health or fitness related resolution. When you have a fresh start, of course you want to feel your best, invest into your future as well as look your best.

But now that you have though about your resolution, how are you going to see it through? Where do you start?

We are surrounded by so many products and services and so many choices that just confuse us that much more. We start to get overwhelmed and usually don't even finish a week before we are back to our old routines and our resolutions are put in the past.

As your coach, I am here to help you map out a plan to reach your goals. I have solutions that will help you and most importantly, I provide the support and accountability to get you where you want to go!

Going to the gym can be great but when you don't show up, no one is calling you to see where you are. Going tot he gym allows you to focus on fitness but where do you start and what do you need to do to reach your goals? And what about nutrition? Do you know that nutrition makes up 80% of weight loss and fitness outcomes?

I would love to have the opportunity to chat with you to set up a plan that supports your resolutions.

Happy New Year!

Your Little Red Wagon

We all go through life pulling a wagon. I have never thought of life like this until it was shared with me last week at Winter Summit for my Beachbody Fit Family.

Sometimes our wagon is super heavy. It is weighted down and we are pulling it up a mountain. Other times we are coasting and the weight of the wagon is not even noticeable. And then other times we cruise through life with a weightless wagon.

So what is it that fills up our wagon and seems so heavy and why is it so hard to pull it up hill? The up hills represent our life changes and transitions that we go through in life. The weight in the wagon is caused by the people that don't support the changes and the worries and fear that come with the changes.

As we cast through life and all seems well, they weight inst' too noticeable. We aren't growing, we aren't' changing so there is no fear following you and no body really cares what you are doing or aren't' doing.

And then when we are growing and all is good, that wagon is weightless. We can sprint with it and not feel held back at all! It doesn't matter what others think or if they approve of our journey and support it, We out fear to the side and we trust our beliefs and self!

So how do you cruise and have a weightless wagon? You make the choice to! You kick the people out of the wagon that are holding you back and trust yourself and work on yourself to make sure you are learning and growing and able to push through tat fear. Anyone can do it. It starts with belief followed by many choices.

Why?

OI remember when all of the kids went through the why stage!

Why? 

Why not? 

As parents it is annoying but thinking back it is pretty amazing! 

For the last week, I have started my day by listening to Why Not Me by Jim Rohan. 

It really makes you think. 

Why? Why do we do what we do and why do we fight and push so hard? Why should we? 

Why not? 

Why not you? 

Why not now?

Do you have belief? Do you have belief in yourself and your future? That is why! Wake up everyday and do everything you can to make today better than yesterday and to chase your dreams and accomplish your goals!

What is your love language?

Do you ever wonder why it feels like you are growing apart from the person you were madly in love with?

How about why you butt heads with your kids all the time? 

How do you express your love to your significant other and how do you need love expressed to you?

There isn't a universal language when it comes to expressing love. We all need to  be spoken to in a different way. What works for you may not have much value for your significant other. 

Figuring out the love language that your significant other speaks can make a huge difference in your relationship and also in your parenting. It can fill the love tank back up and bring happiness back into the relationship. 

I love my husband beyond belief. But to be honest many times it feels like we are more best friends than husband and wife. You know the sparks that you had when your relationship was new. They do fade but they can come back once you understand the love language each other speaks. A marriage does take work and it is the hardest thing to work on but also the most worthwhile! 

By understanding how each other needs to be loved can bring back that spark and and make you more in love today than when you first met. 

How do you know what your love language is? Take the quiz!

Shakeology

Shakeology is a super dense super food meal replacement drink that has changed my life!

It tastes delicious, makes me feel energized, regulates my digestions, has gotten rid of my daily headaches, makes me feel satisfied!
I personally was never a shake girl, I prefer to eat my food, and I was looking for a meal replacement shake becasue I didn't need to lose weight.

I was pleasantly surprised when I started to feel better. I didn't know I didn't feel great until I finally felt great.

Drinking Shakeology allowed me to know what feeling good was like. It replaced my 5 cups of coffee and 4 ibuprofen that I was consuming on a daily basis to get through the day with some energy and headaches. 

I quickly became a believer in this super food shake. So much so that my kids started drinking it on a daily basis and my husband! I know they don't get all of the nutrients that they need in their regular diet, especially veggies. They don't argue when I ask if they want a chocolate shake but they sure put up a fight to eat their broccoli. What they don't know is that there are more nutrients in this chocolate shake than in a huge salad!

So how do I get it? You can get a month supply which is always 100% money back guaranteed. We believe in it so much that we will give you all of your money back if you don't like it.
