Confidence Through Sweat
When I got my Zumba license in 2008 I wore spandex UNDER my sweatpants bc I was so scared sweat would show through....now after these programs I have the confidence to NOT GIVE A what others think of me!!!!!
I Started week 3 today, and yes EXACTLY 3 weeks away I'm starting our PRESENT OVER PERFECT Challenge group & it's my goal to help 100 people in 2023 change thier life and say, YES, I'M CONFIDENT.
No matter what we look like, this is INTERNAL about how we FEEL about ourselves!!!
And YES, I want your sweaty beautiful booty here WITH ME too!!
We are diving into a personal growth audiobook together every month, we are also getting onto the physiology os WHY we eat what we eat annd FINALLY gain confidence in our nutrition.
Are YOU in?! I don't want you to feel ready to do this...I want you to come scared and unsure and a little weary, bc YES that's how we ALL start!!!! So come with me, babe!!!!!!!
Message me, I'M HERE FOR YOU....unless you want to send me a picture, then my husband will be blocking you
Thanks/Friendsgiving!
I loved the time we got to catch up this weekend!!! Here's my siblings and thier families from Spain, Florida, Idaho and Kansas. Love you all so much
I should have gotten a pic from our friends-giving, special thanks to Eddie's Brother Ray, Sean and Sabby and Heather from my Zumba classes for coming over and sharing our Thanksgiving meal with us and making them watch the musical SPIRITED Yes, it was me and Eddie's 2nd time watching it bc we loved it!!! It's was definitely a holiday that I live celebrating with loved ones Hope you a great Holiday weekend as well!!!
You Deserve to Love Your Body
Not a before/after just a reminder that you deserve to love your body as it is & If you ate a lot during the holiday, (or plan too) DO IT & do NOT feel bad.
I struggled with that FOR YEARS and would binge on the holiday then starve and workout like crazy the following day. That only led me to an unhealthy obsession with the scale and a negative mindset around food.
Here's what helped me a few years ago when I finally decided I was worthy to TRY to love myself and stop the harsh judgment of my body.
I ditched the scale.
I started to aim to drink 100 oz of water.
I drank a superfoods smoothie every day that helped me FEEL better.
I bought clothes that FIT & got rid of "goal clothes."
I started to meditate and practice gratitude by how much my body could do.
I made personal development a MUST everyday that helped me have a better mindset on what I could control.
I hope this helps you in some way & trust me when I say you will NEVER be happy with yourself or the way you look if you treat your body with hatred rather than love.
Take a deep breathe. Enjoy the moments with family & friends & remember that one meal or a few treats this week will NOT derail you...and even if it does a little, you are OK!!! This is NOT about perfection! Be in the moment and practice gratitude in the RIGHT NOW. You are worthy to love the life you have RIGHT NOW.
Blank Check
Fun fact... this sweatshirt is 20 years old. When I went to college 02, I was lucky enough for my parents to pay(for the year I kinda went).
They told me to go to college and I went. I went ALONE and freaking scared to death. It was also the first time I ever drove outside of my tiny town(& yes, got my licence at 18 just a few minths before).
When I got there I knew I needed to buy books and I had a blank check....so I got the books I needed, then realized I HAD A BLANK CHECK. so I turned around and bought college swag
I kept this sweatshirt to remind me, that I CAN do hard and scary things BY MYSELF. While college life didn't last long, during that period of my life I started to take on new challenges and realize that if it was meant to be, it was up to me....& it's also OK to ask for help... just like that lady that showed me how to write that first check at college.
I'm so grateful for the way I was raised. I'm so grateful for my childhood, my parents and my siblings and lifelong friends. I am who I am because I was given opportunities to grow and figure it out on my own way, which makes me have a pretty positive outlook on life.
In what way are you grateful for your childhood?
tis the season...for flu & gratitude
Yesterday morning I woke up so sick and the first thing I thought was, “I'm so grateful." Here's why:
When I worked for others and came down with an illness, I was worried about not being able to show up and thought, "How am I going to say I can't come in?" "Maybe I will be fine and I can just show up on meds."
Now that I have been working from home since 2017 my nightmares of showing up late to work are gone.
I don't know about you but work can be stressful, especially working in a place where you don't feel appreciated and a simple phone call can end what you thought was long term.
I told my clients and team mates I wasn't feeling well and was met with, “Feel better, get more rest, and take care of yourself." And THAT brings tears to my eyes.
Tears of gratitude for a group of people who DO appreciate me and I appreciate THEM.
Many years ago when I searched for a workplace like this, I realized it wasn't there because I had to CREATE it. I had to step outside my comfort zone (wayyy outside of it) and ask others if they wanted to create this kind of work with me.
That's what Coaching is: Helping and encouraging each other to focus on our health FIRST so we can help others become leaders in their health (mental and physical) also.
Maybe you are also searching for that, and maybe it's time for you and me BOTH to step outside our comfort zones, and create this TOGETHER.
I would love to team up and run our 2023 groups together, the way WE would want to be coached. I'm here to show up and show you how, I need you to be willing to do four things in order to make this work for you too.
Commit to a program with me (including personal development bc yes, mindset IS everything)
Share your journey on social media 1-2x a week (yup, scary but you wont die from it ;) )
Invite to our free supportive community (did I mention it's FREE?)
Collaborate on ways to make this FUN, because if it's not fun, I'm most likely not showing up either!! That's where this job gets creative and I am ALWAYS learning from newer team mates to see what is motivating us to show up!
Feel free to ask me anything! I have an OPEN COACHING policy. You can...
check out what we share
hop in on our trainings on how to build trust with your network and offer value
explore top personal growth books (free audiobook club on Sundays too)
...before you even sign up!!! Yes, I'm THAT confident to say TRY this before you commit to this! I KNOW the value because it's been successful to a LOT of us. So why NOT you, too!?!?
Here's the group, feel free to check it out!
You down? Respond ASAP with your Coaching and/or health goals. My next challenge starts November 28th and you can launch your business in January, when more people will be more likely to join you, too!!!!
Under the Weather
I always think I stay healthy but this time last year I had the cove, and today its either the flu or bad pork I had last night. I’m still not feeling well so I'm getting in my probiotics to help heal my gut and watching Young Sheldon
Here's my updated schedule for my in person and virtual class peeps! I'm hoping tomorrow I'm feeling better & can get back to teaching! I've missed you all!!!! #superfoodsforthewin
Another Great Birthday Week
Had another great Birthday week/family vacay this year Thanks for having us Dad & Renee!!! & Yes, it wouldn't be a family get together without matching jammies...I mean let's be honest, no one can ever own too many matching pajama sets
