proud coach

I am so proud of my client for choosing healthy foods and losing 10 lbs in the last month. It is not easy to make changes in life. The road is difficult, sometimes you will feel like giving up...but stick with it and results will come. Set small goals to accomplish and strive to meet them. There were times during my weightloss journey that I didn't have great support or encouragement,  however I chose to do my best and continue. Sometimes you will need to be strong on your own, one day you will be leading others. No matter how big or how small you think your goal is....you can do it!

Tip for dinner time

I'm not sure when dinner became the biggest meal of the day, as it should be the smallest. Tip for breaking a plateau  is make your larger meal early in the. This allows the food time to process and most likely you are more active in the day. The best way to getting fit with nutrition is eating 5 to 6 small meals a day. I hear people telling me they can't because of work or no time. Well if you are unwilling to try, then you will never see results. This week, try eating a smaller meal at night, go to bed a little hungry and you will see a change. Allow yourself a cheat meal, just one. Eat healthy the rest of the time. You deserve to be fit and happy.

change it up...

Change is good! In order to become a better more fit you, change has to take place. Embrace it! As the weekend comes closer, plan activities that you enjoy, but involve physical movement. Add some healthy snacks and plenty of water. You have the opportunity to change your outcome. What will you do?

Don't be anxious...

When someone tells you to stop being anxious and stop stressing, what do you do??? You are more anxious then before. Getting fit can seem stressful at times and anxiety may grow when you don't reach that goal you set. You are not alone! Let nothing stop you from reaching your true weight. When you become anxious, take a walk, scream out loud and tell yourself that you are not a failure. You are moving step by step towards being a better you. When you mess up, its okay! Get back on track at your next meal or workout. Let anxiety and stress roll off you back and use it to motivate you! You are worth more than you know!

Discouragement

We all have times when we feel discouraged with our weight and times when nothing is changing. Yet we are working out, eating right and doing everything to get to our fitness goal. However in my own experience I have found that at those times, maybe I was lying to myself and really not doing everything I thought I was. It only effects you and your weight goals when you are not true to yourself. Be honest and move foward. It is really that simple. Love yourself, treat your mind and body well. You deserve to feel and look good. Today is the day you move forward and leave the old you behind. Grow and learn from each part of your fitness journey.  Its all about you!
