Serious question here... A tiny waist and a big butt is all were going for right?? NOT!!! Living our best life is to be as healthy and happy as we possibly can be and wether you want to lose body fat, gain muscle, grow a booty or get rid of body fat there is no magic potion or pill you can take that will give you longterm results.  It takes you making a plan and sticking to it. If you want to seriously change your body to become stronger, then in my opinion cardio is not going to help you.  Muscle strength training, having a proper food plan, resting, recovery and having healthy habits is where you'll attain longterm results. My fitness journey has always been founded on health and happiness and my idea of both cardio and weights have changed and evolved over time.  Health doesn't look the same to everyone and it certainly isn't measured by a number on the scale which I think is a big misconception often way overlooked.   Do what's in your best inter...

Strength training has become very popular recently and starting to begin when unsure where to start is the hardest step to make. It can be scary, confusing and overwhelming but these feelings are temporary.  Weird machines is why it is important to hire a Personal Trainer in order to focus on how to do things correctly and not get hurt.  Getting the proper 1 on 1 attention can excel your results in a direction you never thought possible. I was at first riddled with anxiety being in a gym when I first started training but with the help of my Personal Trainer and coach Michael Healea, he showed me how to properly breathe and eventually led me to feel OK with all the routines I was doing.  This was such a blessing in disguise which showed me how to really give myself the help I needed. How you feel on the inside shows on the outside to the world.  Depending on your fitness levels and especially if you have injuries or have had ...

Shedding pounds and getting healthier can be easy and fun.  Believe out or not, these easy tricks have worked wonders for many of my clients. 1 .  Eating smaller portions with smaller plates and bowls. This idea I've used many times and studies have proven that when you eat with small plates and bowls then your portion sizes are cut down to allow weight to become manageable.   2.  Reorganize your refrigerator. By cleaning out the fridge and throwing away foods that are not good for us makes us think twice about putting them back in the fridge.  This task makes it easy to subconsciously scan healthy food vs. unhealthy food to allow you know what exactly you are putting in your body and keeps a check on assesing what you should keep and what you should throw away. 3.  Reorganize your kitchen. By not only cleaning up your refrigerator but also reorganizing your pantry, cupboards and shelves and ...

Show up and take care of yourself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  Consistency and patience is key when it comes to reaching my goals and the less I push myself to change, the more I realize it will happen when the time is right. Goals are good for direction and planning my progress but by implementing a process to which yields results, it always comes back to my consistent action, patience and drive towards striving for a better tomorrow.  This has taught me to let go of things that truly aren't serving me anymore and by opening up and being honest with myself it is keeping myself accountable. I feel like a lot of people can relate to this sort of timeline process which causes too much pressure to reach or achieve X, Y and Z.  I used to get overwhelmed when I would put this kind of pressure on myself to achieve certain things rather than having a measurable timeline where I could put things on a realistic scale rather than...

I've been doing something lately that has really helped me envision the best version of myself and that is embracing change.  You see change can happen fast or slow but the more I am in tune with being aware of myself (habits, moods, behaviors, emotions, etc.) the better I become at getting used to change itself. I've been implementing lasting and sustainable change that supports my lifestyle and I'm not afraid of it, I am now embracing it.  This has allowed me to become happier person inside and out. I found solutions to invest in myself and am completely looking at the trajectory of change to accept where my life is going instead of trying to control everything and holding back.  I've been proving the old me is wrong and my health and happiness is the only way I want to live.   I encourage you to do the same and set yourself up to achieve whatever it may be in life to be a better version of yourself for tomorrow.

My happiness didn't come from my jobs or some level of financial success.  My happiness didn't come from a great relationship or achieving my dream body.   My happiness came from putting myself first mentally, emotionally and physically.  It came from being grateful from where I came from and where I am today.   Despite challenges it's all about perspective.  I realize how blessed I am and the journey I am on to help others.  I've found peace in my life and reconnected with the little girl in my life that still exists in me.   My happiness has overcame to say no to others and accept yes for myself first.  I've always been a "people pleaser" and by following my mind, heart and soul it lead me to my true self to become honest and start aligning my priorities and balancing my full potential. I'm right where I'm meant to be.  There is no destination to this journey it's just pushing one foot in front of the ot...

When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone? Doing new things can seem scary and intimidating but lately I'm focusing on trying new things that feel uncomfortable.  I'm making an effort to surprise myself and presenting new designs and concepts into my life. By challenging my comfort zone I'm learning to become stronger that I once believed and allowing myself to be human and show up up even when I feel vulnerable. Following my heart and having grace and forgiveness to myself even when mistakes are made helps me to grow. So what's one thing that you will do this week to challenge your comfort zone?
