Make the Rest the Best

31189688_10155350690381835_9164790120516590523_n.jpg

My journey as a Coach & Fitness instructor has taught me so much about pursuing my BEST life. But in order for that to happen I had to be willing to get a little uncomfortable and show up on the days I didn't FEEL like it. Just like anything in life πŸ‘‰pursuing your passion takes time, dedication and consistency. But that's definitely NOT the hardest part of my journey......
..
.. 
Once I could teach and Coach MYSELF how to show up then it was on me to lead others to become healthier, happier and driven. I became a mentor to those that wanted this same life. That's where this journey gets hard. πŸ˜«πŸ˜―😫
..
..
While I see potential in SOOOO MANY PEOPLE there's STILL nothing I can do or say to motivate someone else to live their BEST life.... And that SUCKS. No secret spell I can learn from the Show Supernatural πŸ˜‚ ha!!! I honestly wish I could be there on their shoulders to help encourage them daily, but I can't. The only thing I can do is hope and pray that they learn to love themselves ENOUGH to pursue their OWN BEST life and show up daily to it. 
..
..
In a way I feel we are ALL Coaches, Leaders, Parents and Teachers who are mentors to others. And just because someone fails or quits does NOT mean we failed them. The ONLY way to lead is by TRUE EXAMPLE. If we do that, then we have done our job and that's the BEST we can do πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

Procrastination

31190021_10155349351336835_294255106143110155_n.jpg

I used to be a BIG procrastinator (I am only sometimes now...like dping my workout at 8pm πŸ˜‚) but REAL TALK....if I wanted to successful in my health, my business and my relationships then I needed to stop talking a BIG talk and start taking REAL ACTION.
..
I had to come face to face with my acrtons...or lack there of to recongnize the ONLY thing holding me back..was ME. Not the actions of others, not the economy, not the girl with more likes on her social media ((( I mean really, how petty am I right now!?!?...getting better, promise. I just wanna give ya the TRUTH)))
..
..
Can you relate to this at all!?!? Are you wasting time, not bettering yourself because you are living in comparison or playing the "if only " or "but I can't because" never ending song!?!?!?! Well I'm here to say stop the EXCUSES and replace THAT mindless activity with REAL RESULTS producing ACTIONS!!! Because if I can .....ummmm SO CAN YOU. πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰
..
..
So how bout it!? Take this as your sign to stop talking about what you wish you could do or have and GO FOR IT!!!!
Actions ALWAYS speak louder than words so don't just TELL me you wish you were happy, successful or fit, Take ACTION. Each day you say" tomorrow" pushes YOUR success away another day. Even if it's not pretty, not perfect, not even your BEST. Just DOOOOOO IIIITTTTT!!!! βœŒπŸ˜I BELIEVE IN YOU. NOW BELIEVE IN YOU.

Best Self

30052173_10155344962716835_2336925223687256476_o.jpg

I hear this all the time...I need to FIND time to pursue my passion. I need to FIND time to get my workout in. I need to FIND balance in my life. Listen, you don't FIND time. Time is already there and it's constantly passing. And so is your life. 
..
..
What you do now (yes even on a Saturday) matters years from now. If you really want to make this work then you will take action. Focused and purpose filled ACTION each day. Come face to face with your results producing action and also with your not so results producing habits. Do you have 30-60 minutes to focus on making your life better each day!? Truthfully!?!?!?πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€” Yes you do. We both know it. 
..
..
There will always be re negative part of you saying that ...."no you don't have the time. No you won't be good enough and No don't even dream about this because it won't happen for you."... Well I'm not talking to that part of you or me any longer. Because we both know that part of us does not have the best intention for us and our futures#nottodayoreversatan .....INTEAD I'm talking to the part of us that understands and WANTS to live our BEST life. THAT person takes action and shows up day in and day out. OUR best self achieves greatness and positively influences those around us. And the more we listen to our BEST self the happier, healthier and more passionate and driven we become. πŸ˜Š
..
..
So you ready to listen to that best self!?!?!? Start today woth one positive action in the right direction. Your BEST self will thank you πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

Numbers on a Scale

31124239_10155345381336835_5635835017543052681_n.jpg

I remember when I used to value my results by a number on the scale and whether or not my thighs rubbed when I walked. Sounds ridic writing this down but it's true. I used to binge and starve myself back in highschool in order to stay at a certain weight. 
..
..
It lasted a few years and then I threw away my scale and I broke that daily habit of valuing myself by a number on the scale. I was MORE concerned with the "look" of fit rather than actually being fit. If you have struggled with achieving the "look" then I encourage you to do a few things. 
..
#1 throw out your scale
#2 hide your tape measure to only check 1x a month
#3 start writing in a journal and track what your body CAN do and celebrate that! How long can you hold a wall sit!? How about a plank!? What are you lifting? Have you increased your weights? Or what's your 5k time? Did you meet your water goal? What about less sugar? More veggies?
..
..
What I'm saying is that Fitness is measured by what your body CAN do. I never want to encourage you to "look" a certain way. I know that life and it sucks. You will never be happy if thats your goal. Surgeries, starvation and hatred for your body is NOT the answer. Instead Love is always the answer. πŸ’–πŸ’œπŸ’–
..
..
Btw, I'm happier now and I'm stronger than I've ever been. YES my thighs are thicker than ever πŸ‘ŒπŸŠπŸŠand I still don't have a scale and I have no idea what I weigh and I don't care. 
..
..
WE ARE WORTH MORE THAN A NUMBER. πŸ˜˜πŸ˜˜πŸ˜˜

Five People

31073221_10155342525721835_790133836024598652_n.jpg

You are the average of the 5 people you choose to hang around. πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ•ΊπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒ
...
So ask yourselfπŸ€” Do you support and help encourage your friends to be thier best selves and go after dreams and goals? And do they do the same for you? πŸ€”Do you speak highly of them when they aren't around? And vice versa?! πŸ€”Is there judgement and comparison or is there only love and support? 
...
If you want a better life start with truly loving others around you and if you still feel like the relationship is toxic (bc be real... you can't change anyone) then you need to find people who DO lift one-another up. 
...
Thankfully these ladies are my positive influence. πŸ˜and too funny but truth, most of us all met through FB or IG. Soooo finding your bestie friend soul mates can also be done online πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰ I love you ladies. Thanks for an awesome trip, see ya at the next one!!!! #teamsweatcoaches #bossbabes

All You Got

30743588_10155343380531835_564296473483686450_n.jpg

If you are going to do something then go after it with ALL.YOU.GOT. βœŠβœŠβœŠ
..
Seriously mindset is everything when it comes to hitting mental spiritual, health and physical goals. If you want mediocre results in any area then yea ....barely "try" but if you want THE BEST then don't just try. DO IT 100%!!! So you can look back and say....'I did that, and I'm proud of me and I'm going to keep going." πŸ˜˜ 
...
This is not at all about trying to achieve perfection (lets be real...I'ma bout to get a burger later πŸ˜‚πŸ”. This mindset is meant to achieve πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰happinessπŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰ and living OUR life to the fullest. 
...
If you need help in any of those areas then all you have to do is reach out. Next Virtual Fit Club starts May 7th. Are you ready to give it ALL YOU GOT!?!?!? You know I am πŸ’ͺπŸ˜‰

Eddie Was Right

30073265_10155337432101835_5247158125498134842_o.jpg

Chilling with my babe at this amazing resort and thinking about how all this ALMOST didn't happen...... Did you know that before I became an Online Coach I worked with ANOTHER online company!? It was Eddie that recommended I do this one instead..... thanks babeπŸ˜‰#hesgoodlookingandsmart 
..
In The beginning of trying to find your way of entrepreneurship You never know what you are REALLY meant to do until you become really tuned into WHY you want to do this and HOW you want to help people. 
You have to ask yourself some hard questions and ask "do you REALLY believe in what you do and what you offer?!?!"
....
To me I got picky and I wanted the whole package because I wanted to help people with....
πŸ‘‰meal plans & portion controlled nutrition and learning how to eat to lose, gain or maintain with the RIGHT FOODS
πŸ‘‰Workouts with variety that stream anywhere
πŸ‘‰ Superfoods nutrition and supplements thats not just another shake but something I can REALLY stand behind and believe in and use myself.
...
I have to tell ya, Search and Find what brings you true happiness and if your heart isn't 100% in it then it WON'T work out. Trust me. You have to decide what's right for you then GO FOR IT! If you are looking into entrepreneurship and partnering with a company that aligns with your goals then let's talk! I'm here to help anyone who's passionate like me 😘😘😘
....
BTW, Thanks for telling me this Coaching thing was a good idea Eddie, I think you were right. πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ
