Work for it!

Boom baby! Focus T25 Cardio in the books for the day!

One thing that I have always found fascinating with any program is how much you improve throughout the program! Cardio five weeks ago was not my strong suit but today I was almost able to make it the full 25 minutes without a break and without modifications! Believe me, when I first started I was modifying more than I would have thought!

However,  I'm getting faster and stronger everyday and working on achieving my goals again! Woot Woot!  After such great results the first time around I'm excited to see the results this time around!

So today my advice is: do not be discouraged if you are just starting!  Give yourself time, stick with your program, and you will improve throughout the program! You get what you work for not what you wish for! So stay strong!  Together we've got this!

Coach Open House

Did you know that coaching has seriously changed my life for the better?

Now I was the type of person that thought I was not coach material for anything but that was long ago and before I realized the truth! That thought doesn't even register now that I am a coach! Did you know that you are a coach too? That's the simple truth I learned! We are all coaches already in some way!

So taking the next step and becoming a Beachbody coach was not that scary anymore once I learned that! Plus the benefits I have gained from coaching are a blessing that I am incredibly grateful for! So now: I want to share the awesomeness of coaching with you! 

I am hosting a Coach Open House where you can join (for free, no strings attached) and learn more about what it is that I do! This open house STARTS TODAY!

So if you would like to know more then type below "I'm in" or message me and I will add you into the group! 😊

It has been one of the best decisions I have made! I would be selfish not to share this with you too!

Who are you inspiring?

So, it's motivation Monday, and I'm not going to lie: I needed some SERIOUS motivation today because I am so sore from Saturday!  Lol.. seriously I don't think I moved at all yesterday! So I was a little concerned about today because day 2 after a really good workout is ALWAYS worse! Lol

So when I woke up this morning I kind of panicked because yes I  was hurting even more! I was literally thinking my body needs to rest one more day before I workout! That is just an excuse though! 

Then my daughter asked me if I was going to workout because I have been every morning again! Boom! There was my motivation! My reason and my why holding me accountable to myself and to her!

So I said yes and we both went downstairs and worked out! She was with me the whole time asking if I needed water or my sweat towel and she would even join in on some of the exercises!

She is my Why! She is my heart! 💖  I am her mother and her example and I want to be the best I can be for her! So thank you Alli for keeping me motivated to stay strong and get it done! 

You never know who you are inspiring and today I realized I am inspiring her!

Love Yourself

This morning I made it all about loving myself and treating myself! Lol

Every now and then we need to take time to ourselves and evaluate where we are, where we want to go, and prep for that journey!

So this morning for me was about taking that time for myself!

During that time I said several "mantras", "incantations ", or your very own personal affirmations!  This is a great way to start off everyday!  I challenge you to do this every day next week! Say your positive affirmations every morning and truly love your amazing self!

The road less traveled

Two years ago I had the right idea!  I'm so happy that I decided to take this journey and to take that road less traveled.

The journey has been beautiful even with the wrong turns here and there. However,  that's what makes your journey memorable. The wrong turns, the detours, the road construction,  and the long long road ahead!

Take each turn and realize it's not wrong, it's just a part of your journey, and as long as you enjoy your journey, check your compass often, reevaluate your goals, then you will reach your destination! 

So today,  enjoy your journey!

I am still enjoying mine!

If you need help to reevaluate your goals then let me know. I'm here to help however I can!

Love Yourself

So today was ab day! Lol

Now I could look at this picture and be disappointed because I'm not where I once was! But I'm not! Lol

I know I'm not where I once was but that only fuels me to keep going strong because I know I can get there again! I'm only in competition with myself!

And besides, I know I'm a Badass! Lol  😉

So instead of looking at your pictures and feeling sad, disappointed,  or depressed you should instead look at your pictures and love yourself! You are so strong! You are beautiful or handsome! You are your own amazing version of a badass!

Never forget that!

Let Shit Go

Well needless to say: I NEEDED my workout today!  Yesterday I learned some bad news about a topic and a person  I rarely discuss and it was clinging to me and bugging me, then I allowed myself to be dragged into pointless debates about how far our country has fallen, and let's just say other stress factors were getting to me yesterday! 

I think the only reason I didn't snap completely yesterday is because I worked out twice and was able to relieve a lot of the stress. However, the joy of a woman's mind is the simple fact that it NEVER shuts down and things constantly swirl and come back up to analyze all over again. *sigh*

But on a good note.... I got my workout done today and I'm forcing myself to get my booty to the library today for some good personal development books! I need some positive reinforcement back into my mind and personal development sure helps with that!  

Not to mention all the positive people in my life who help me to be my positive happy self! I really love and appreciate those people in my life! The rest,  need to be let go! Along with the stress and negativity that they bring!

I know I'm posting these long posts again but sometimes the mind needs to speak and social media gives us an outlet and maybe somewhere there is someone feeling the same way and this helped them to not feel so alone! So I'm speaking my mind lately! Lol

I hope this helps someone somewhere!

Creatures of Habit

So today was a very hard morning to even get out of bed let alone getup and workout. So I was literally coming up with every excuse to not workout. I mean it's Tuesday and I will just workout tonight anyways, right? So I don't need to workout now!

Then I was scrolling through Facebook and saw something Scottie Hobbs posted. "We are creatures of habit...."

Lately I have let myself fall back into some bad habits, especially with my workouts,  and I have been feeling this funk for awhile because of those bad habits. So seeing that post reminded me that I if I want to get back to "Me" and my goals that I need to create those healthy habits again!

Plus my amazing coach Megan Plaizier Gutke has helped me to realize how much better I feel once I get that workout in! And it's soooo true!!! I ALWAYS feel better after I workout! 

So I forced myself to just push play and start my workout!  25 minutes goes by fast and Boom baby I'm done with my workout! I feel better and happier now, plus accomplished. I can tackle all the items on my list now with a clear and focused conscience!  Woot Woot!

Do you FEEL soooo much better after your workout?

Tough Love

Today it's about tough love!!!! To you but mostly for myself. There are days where you will not FEEL like working out, and not going to lie that is how I have felt all year long, but you know what: do it anyways!

I have been letting myself slack this year with excuses and issues that I have been personally having but it's time to push myself past those excuses and get myself back to where I want to be and back to feeling like myself!

This week I have not let myself miss a single workout even though all I wanted yesterday and today was a rest day! However, I pushed play and got it done! 

Sometimes in life you are not going to want to do something,  but if you know it's going to have a positive impact on yourself or someone else, give yourself some tough love and do it anyways! Get out of your comfort zone! Get moving! Work on yourself! Make a positive change and become a positive influence!

My goal is to work on myself so that I can be there for others who are counting on me to be at my best! 😉

What's your goals?
