34558559_10155436524541835_376827601483726848_n.jpg

I HAVEN'T GONE TO THE DOCTOR IN OVER 4 YEARS....AND I DONT THINK THIS IS A COINCIDENCE!!!! πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰
..
..
So today in our Virtual Fit Club we talk about the benefits of our SUPERFOODS Smoothie...... But first. LETS BE REAL..... Most people look at the price of this and think....no way. Meanwhile they go out and spend 2-3x this price on a fast food lunch😲🀦 Anywayyyyyyyyy I've drank this for 4 years andwhen I forget to take it with me on vacay my body starts to notice the loss of nutrient dense foods its missing. 
..
..
And don't get me wrong I love a good deal that's why I dont spend money on an extra meal and I don't buy vitamins. I rely on my shake because it has EXACTLY what my body needs...... So while there's many reasons I love this shake, today I'm sharing info about the Adaptogens in our shakes. What does that even mean?! Well here ya go....WHAT IT IS...AND WHY IT HELPS.......
..
..
πŸ‘ŒDefinition of adaptogen. : a nontoxic substance and especially a plant extract that is held to increase the body's ability to resist the damaging effects of stress and promote or restore normal physiological functioning.
..
..
πŸ‘ŒSUPERFOODS SMOOTHIE ADAPTOGEN BLEND: including Ashwagandha, Astragalus, Cordyceps, Ginkgo, Maca, Maitake, Reishi, Schisandra, Tulsi (Holy Basil)These ingredients help reduce stress, support the immune system, and balance the endocrine system.
..
..
You are what you eat(and drink) people. And yes, Im a freaking SUPER HERO FOR DRINKING SUPERRFOODS!!!!!! πŸ’ͺπŸ¦„

Two Reasons

34396844_10101525308661582_1701349142808231936_n.jpg

2 reasons to smile today....
#1 We are friends 😘
#2 I got yo back
..
Seriously, as you push yourself to become better in ANY WAY, I want you to know I'M PROUD OF YOU. Yea, you probabaly don't hear it enough. But I am. Because I know how it feels to struggle. To face fears. To stop judging others. To stop judging yourself. You have to get through that mountain of pain to become victorious on the other side. And if you quit now, all this TRYING will have been for nothing. So don't give up. I'm watching and I have faith in you. I just thought you needed to hear it today. πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’š

Believe

34413083_10101524007698722_3743595724005179392_n.jpg

"I'll believe it when I see it." πŸ™πŸ‘€
OR...
"I'll see it when I believe it."πŸ‘€πŸ™

These 2 quotes have really stuck out to me lately. I can see how both can be true but I know the first quote is what MOST of us believe in.


Just a few years ago I was waiting for things to happen. I wasn't showing up to my Best life. 
I just want to yell to my younger self ..."Oh Ye of little Faith! What are you doing!? You have Faith in what IS because you see it, but no Faith in what CAN and Could Be. Turn it around and imagine your BEST life. Give yourself permission to live and love life. Take risks. Go after dreams. Don't listen to the Naysayers. They aren't paying your bills or heloing to build your dreams! Get up and live a life you are proud of. This life is a gift. Treat yourself and others with love. And Remember that goals are reached and dreams are made real by FIRST imagining it. Always believe it and you WILL see it. πŸ’šπŸ’œπŸ’š I'm here to help if you need someone rooting for you✊✊

Ask for Help

34160928_10101522307221492_8663201206446850048_n.jpg

No one knows YOUR expectations. We are all so busy worrying about our OWN lives and we get so caught up in the business to notice the needs of others. Sounds selfish, but its true. Both is true for ourselves and the people around us. 
....
It's time to stop and ask yourself. Am I happy!? Are my own needs being met. If not, how could they be met!? .....
Then this crucial next step is often overlooked πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰ASK FOR HELP! It might come easier to me because I speak my mind (probably too often πŸ˜‚) but something I realized in most relationships is one person feels weighted down by all that needs to he done. This giver CONTINUES to give and they are EXPECTING others to give back. 
...
Well get out of your OWN way Giver. If you seem happy then people think that you ARE happy. Stop sabatogueing yourself by NEVER ASKING FOR HELP!!!!! I was this way until I realized I was acting like a little kid in the corner. I was there because I was in trouble but in my thought pocess when I was told I could leave the corner I said NO! I'M STAYING HERE! ....and to think I was actually trying to teach my parents a lesson by staying there. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Little did I know that that was not the case. My stubbornness to show I was right and thinking..."I'll just stay and wallow in my anger and sadness would prove them wrong".....was, well...actually WRONG. As an adult I can now see how this story affected my stubborn actions thoughout life. If I was taking on too much and not asking for help and getting angry at everyone then I was acting like that child in the corner and trying to prove a POUNTLESS point. 
...
Put away your expectations and get REALLY CLEAR in what you need then put your ego aside, step put of the corner πŸ˜‰ and ask...Can you help me by cleaning the kithen today?
Can you help me with this project? I could really use yiur expertise.
Can we have a date night this week? I would love some quality time with you. Can you help with me with dinner? Can I talk to you about a raise? Can I take Thanksgiving week off from work? I need some family time. 
..
If you never ask, you will never be helped. So ask. You will be glad you did.😘

Just Eat Healthy

33168594_10101512487235822_7228610639852208128_n.jpg

Happy Monday friends! I think you know by now that I'm all about eating and not "dieting". I don't believe in starving or cutting out entire food groups or think you have to live that way to become healthy. What I do believe in is adding to your diet. I find that most people are mal nourished.
Next time when you reach for a salty or high sugar or high fat food it is most likely because your body is trying to tell you something. 
...
Tip- we are trapped by having unhealthy options too readily available. Instead we MUST set ourselves up for success. Ask yoursrlf? Am I really hungry or am I actually thirsty? Have I had enough water yet today? Most likely, no. Still hungry? Have a plan! Are there salad options at most places? Ummmm yes. Do you really want that burger!? Get a protien on the side then! And ask to share a small order of frys if you really "need" it. 
..
Over time you WILL start to crave the betrer good options, but it takes time and practice. If we crave fast food then we have trained our brains to think we NEED it. Well we don't. We never will. Don't get me wrong 2x. A week I'm getting a burger or a treat...and that works for me. I'm not saying give it up...diet...fast...etc. what I'm saying is ADD nutrient dense foods to your eating plan. Feeling better, having better digestion and more energy is on the other side if this. Now isn't that healthier life worth it!?! πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ

Learning from Failure

32629388_10101510941383722_4193791593221718016_n.jpg

Procrastinator. College drop out. Failed business(es) Owner.....all things you could use to describe me. But from my failures I learned what worked and learned HOW to become successful. 
..
..
What I learned from my failures...
πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰DON'T DO THIS IN YOUR OWNπŸ‘ˆπŸ‘ˆ
I needed a SUPPORT team if I was going to make THIS business work. 
..
..
So I joined a 21 day Virtual Fit Club with a TEAM of Coaches in 2014 and became a Coach and it's changed my life FOREVER. I not only learned HOW to build a successful business because because of the incredible support I also learned so much about what my body needed to become it's healthiest. As a Personal trainer and fitness instructor for 10 years Im STILL blown away by how much I learned through Online Coaching. t's been a very humbling experience and I'm the healthiest I've ever been because of it πŸ’ͺ😊
..
..
Listen if YOU are on the fence about FINALLY committing to your OWN health and helping others while you do it #winwin then what is holding you back!?!?!! I have a Facebook Event I'm hosting where I will be sharing my journey of HOW this Changed my life and the lives of others around me. And HOW to become successful If you decide to do this too. If you always wanted to become a successful entrepreneur then remember YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE. 
..
..
DON'T make my same mistakes of trying to do it by yourself. The event link is shared

Out of Control

32651605_10155392013691835_319082543578087424_n.jpg

Alot of things are out of our control but taking care of ourselves is usually something we can control. πŸ’•It's a choice to commit to a gym or Virtual Fit Club. πŸ’• It's a choice to wake up early to get it in if your day is too busy later. πŸ’•It's a choice to make reminders to drink more water. πŸ’•It's a choice to buy healthy food for you and your family.πŸ’• It's a choice to choose to take care of you ESPECIALLY on the days you don't when you dont want to. 
...
Don't wait till its too late and this choice is taken away from you. Choose healthy and happy NOW. I'm always here to help✌😘

Be Courageous

32531855_10101506967746922_1733087220253851648_n.jpg

Be courageous today. Give yourself permission to dream bigger and set higher goals. 
..
Not too long ago I realized the only person holding me back was myself and If I wanted to CREATE a better life then I needed to stand up and be courageous and say, I WANT this and I'm not letting fear of failures control my life! I'm going to trust that even if I do fail then I will be stronger and wiser on the side and over time that stronger and wiser version of me WILL SUCCEED!!!!!✊
...
Have a real talk with yourself and start treating yourself as the once 5 year old self, the person FULL of courage and belief that ANYTHING is possible. The Optimist not jaded from others discouragement. Not jaded from your own discouragement. πŸ™‚
...
The only people who really succeed and CAN change world are the ones who THINK they CAN.πŸ’šπŸŒŽπŸ’š Change your thinking and you CAN change your life. Be courageous friend.#mindsetiseverything #bethechange
