Fear Has One Job
I'd rather live my life doing things that scare me than choosing to stay safe and comfortable.
But that wasn't always the case because FEAR has ONE job. Keeps you stuck, even when you are miserable.
My #1 Fear....is hurting others. I can trace it back to relationships I've had and I STAYED stuck because of FEAR I would let people down. My body knew it wasn't right and tried to show me OVER and OVER through nail biting, panic attacks, skin rashes & anxiety.
So what changed & how was I able to say that it's time to focus on ME?!?! Well to be honest I don't have just ONE answer because being the stubborn person I am it took MANY FAILED ATTEMPTS.
But I now ask myself,..."before I say YES, is this something I WANT to do FOR ME, or is it out of guilt & trying to PLEASE OTHERS? Because you can't pour from an empty cup without mixing in guilt, resentment and shame.
I ran from these feelings for YEARS because I was too afraid to admit the real truth....
That I was basing my worth on what I did FOR OTHERS....and guys, when you do that, NO ONE IS HAPPY. Not even the person you are trying to please.
It's a hard truth to face but I encourage you today to ask yourself....
"Am I staying in a job that depletes me or inspires me to learn more and gives me the energy I NEED so that I CAN pour into others?"
"Am I staying in a relationship that depletes me or does it inspire me to love more and gives me the love I need?"
"Am I staying stuck with my(mental, emotional physical and/ or financial) health goals?"
"Do I need the guidance to learn from others or will I continue to stay where I am and envy those with success?"
Only YOU can answer those questions, but I encourage you to take a chance to sit down and write down what you WANT and NEED on your life.
When you OWN it you can start to make the right decisions toward the path that fulfills you. And that is NOT selfish, because when you choose that path everyone around you benefits and the people who DO love you will support you in these decisions...the ones that don't will distance themselves. And wouldn't you rather have a tribe talking about how awesome you are behind your back, instead of pointing out your faults? I know I do!!!!
You got this And if you need a friend to talk it out, you know where to find me
Healthy Fam!
Cutest photobombers everrrrrrrr.
Workout 23/42 done!!!!!
Ya know what I love?! Seeing families get healthier together.
Eddie's been doing this program too and I LOVE that he is. And tbh, he is perfect to me, so if he changes physically that really doesn't matter to me. But what DOES matter to me is that he's gonna be my ride or die for a SUPER LONG TIME and I KNOW that these workouts and superfoods nutrition is keeping him healthy for a long time.
Does your family hop on the health train with you?! Is/are there a family member/s you are super proud of that has helped encourage or inspire you too?! Let them know!!

Ahhhh, Mornings
I never used to look forward to mornings. Just a few years ago when we both worked full time and had jobs (with bosses), we had to wake up before 5am so I could drop Eddie off at work so I could teach my 6am classes. I don't know how I juggled it all back then.
Teaching 15+ classes a week, personal training another 20-30+ hours AND adding Online Coaching to this was just crazy! But it was possible only because I someday dreamed of having moments like this.
I never want to take for granted the fact that we now create our own schedule...and tbh, our relationship is the best it's ever been and I truly believe it's because we get to see each other more.
Life is full of choices and opportunities, if you ever feel like you cannot go one more year stuck then let's have a chat. I am mentoring new Coaches to learn how to work from home and build something that can give them hope for a better future. Yes this is work, and yes you have to show up, but working for yourself is one of the most freeing feelings ever.
Fill out "Become An Online Coach" form and we can see if this can work for you too. If you never try, you will never know. If I can give you any advice, it's JUST DO IT...especially if you don't feel ready...because ready is a lie. Most people will wait their whole life waiting for the perfect moment that never comes.
I waited nearly 2 years to do this because I was waiting for THAT moment.... it never came.... instead I realized that to BECOME the person strong enough to do this, I needed to ACT like that person...as in TAKE ACTION towards it. And that first step changed my life forever. π Ready or not. Let's do this.
You Need to Hear This
I feel like YOU need to hear this today...
You need to draw a line in the sand. Don't let one more person talk you out of your dreams. It's not anyoneβs job to tell you what you can or can't do. Ya feel me!?
So what?!?! So you might have failed in the past. That doesn't define what you CAN and WILL accomplish tomorrow.
I could have said, "Yup failed at that online business..... & failed at that gym job... & failed at college... probably could never do the entrepreneur thing." .....but something inside of me reminded me...."Do I REALLY want to work on someone elseβs dreams for the rest of my life....or work hard on building my own?!?!" UMMMMM, OPTION B. PLZ.
Can you relate here?ππππ
I was driven but I was lost.
I hated showing up even on my sickest and most tired days for a paycheck that wasn't even enough to give me ANY sense of security.
I was sad I missed time away from friends and family bc I couldn't afford to NOT work.
I knew if I didn't change then nothing would change, so I reached back out to the coach who told me about this. I OWNED the fact that my excuses were just that....EXCUSES...and why DEFEND feeling miserable when I wanted to FIGHT for a life of freedom!?
Ya can't have both. YOU can't keep WANTING change when in reality you are taking NO STEPS towards it!!! That's a lie. Do you REALLY want to stay the same MORE than you want change?
So what would it take to make that change? Is it enough for you? Is it enough for the people you love? Is it worth fighting for? If it IS worth it, then keep reading....
ππππππ
Are YOU driven but kinda lost at what to do?
Are YOU gonna show up and do the work & sacrifice some time NOW so someday you CAN have more time later?
Are YOU a dreamer who also envisions a life of healthy living, freedom & travel?
Do YOU want to leave a legacy and impact the world in a really positive way?!
Sames.
That's why I became a Coach and I'm looking for ONLY 5 more people to train THIS SATURDAY for our group that begins on September 13th. I will train you HOW, you just gotta be willing to show up & learn as you go.
Let's go dreamer. We got work to doπ
This Guy
This guy. π saved my favorite hello fresh meal to make tonight β‘οΈ BIBIMBAP π Coming home today makes me realize how much I'm in love with my best friend, Eddie. Not because he makes me food but because he is kind and funny, tells me about his day and gives me long hugs.
Currently him and Batman are sleeping next to me while I watch Gilmore Girls & it feels like vacay just started. π
I hope you all experience a love that feels like this and if you are with someone be sure to tell them how much you love them and show it not only with words but also actions. EVERYDAY.
Love you so much Eddie Placencia π I missed you like cray
Never Miss a Monday
Someone remind me to never miss a Monday ππ
Spent the last 5 days driving back home and knew I had to get this done because on the days I DON'T workout I feel TERRIBLE.
I know some people say it's hard to workout and they don't have the energy, but TRUST ME. The energy you create gives you WAYYY more(healthy and long term) energy than any redbull, monster, quick sugar or anything else for that matter.
Your body was created to MOVE and a body that creates motion, stays in motion, and stays healthy. I know some days will be harder than others...I know it was for me today, but I can't quit on me...or YOU. Thanks for holding me accountable to my goals too guys. Your check ins on social media and our private groups motivates me to do better. EVERY DAY. π
Wanna be workout buddies?
Goals Are Only Dreams
Goals are only dreams until you decide to step outside your comfort zone.
Making dreams a reality takes consistent work, but it's also the most rewarding work because it gives you the freedom you thought you could only dream about before.
Whatever path you are on, keep going. Keep moving forward. Don't let doubt take over, especially doubting yourself.
What you want and what you dream about IS IMPORTANT. God wouldn't give you a dream if He didn't think you could handle it. π
25/5
Pic on leftβ‘οΈ 25 hours a week working out
Pic on right β‘οΈ 5 hours a week working out
When I was teaching 15+ fitness classes a week & practicing routines for another 10 hours a week I went from working out 25 hours a week down to less then 5 hours a week with Online Coaching!!!!!
Guys. Seriously......these nutrition & fitness programs I follow along with the Support & the mindset growth we focus on is KEY to change. BTW, I'm buying all new sign ups in August the September book of the month (The compound effect) because I've seen crazy success when we focus on ALL THESE AREAS.
So how about it?!? In 21 days my group is starting a 3 day detox to help heal the gut from over-processed foods then we begin THIS PROGRAM on September 13th. Ya gonna keep watching, or ya gonna crush this with me?!?!

Body Image
These beautiful chicas have such a better body image than I did when I was their age & I'm so so proud of them for not allowing them to underappreciate the beautiful life and body God gave them.
For me I had struggled with binge and emotional eating for over a decade because when I was 17 I was told my skirt was too tight because I was eating TOO MANY little Debbies.
Looking back I know the woman who told me this probably said that because she was told she needed to lose weight too. I can see now that people who judge have also felt judged their whole life and that breaks my heart. But this isn't a NEW story. This is REAL LIFE...
This has happened to EVERYONE & most likely EVERYONE has said things to others they regret. We are human! Just remember that No....We should NOT define our worth by someone's opinion of us. EVER.
If you hear a rude comment or someone draws attention to your "flaws" just know that they DO NOT have your best interest in mind & while it hurts you MUST remember your true beauty lies within.
The way you REACT to this negativity will help build or tear down your love for yourself and others. Respond positively with "thanks for your feedback but I love ......about me"
And while we are on the subject, when you get a COMPLIMENT ....The way you REACT to this positvity will help build or tear down your love for yourself and others. So remember to say ....thanks for your your compliment, it means so much to me."
Treat others with love, and more importantly treat YOURSELF with love so you CAN forgive and love others even better. π
π Workout 11/42 done! π thanks for joining me nieces π
