Are you a whiner? Do you hear yourself secretly comparing yourself and thinking IT'S NOT FAIR!?!? We all have those days! I feel like the last half of this week I just couldnt shake this weird funk!!
Today will be a day of reflecting around here. For me, I'm reflecting on my WHY. Reflecting WHY I want to share my passions for helping others get healthier. ANd my WHY for wanting to reach my highest potential.
The last 5 months of this journey have made me feel stronger physically, emotionally and spiritually.
I keep looking back and telling myself "I BELIEVE IN YOU! You can do this!" -- when really I need to keep looking forward and reaching out to those who might be lost like I was.
My goal is to help women <men, you're welcome too> to feel STRONGER (physically, mentally, spiritually and even financially) because they deserve it.
A stressful event can slow down our metabolism—so much so that we could gain an extra 11 pounds over the course of a year... YUCK!!!
Do you count the holidays as a stressful time of the year?
Stressed women had a slower metabolism, higher levels of insulin, which contributes to fat storage, and higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol after a meal. (Coritsol is that hormone that causes the gross fat in our midsections!)
Ummm no thank you!! How are you going to decompress and limit your stressors this holiday season?
Here are a few of mine:
- my daily workouts (fight that fat!)
- drinking shakeology (the nutrients help curb those stressful eating binges & fuel my body to take on the day!)
- when i walk the dog i WILL NOT take my cell phone (UNPLUG sometimes!!)
- spend 20 minutes a day doing something for me (even if it's just calling a friend or my mom!)
I'm on a call RIGHT now with the CEO of Beachbody, Carl Daikeler!
This company is amazing and has touched my life in so many ways. You know, it's a normal Thursday night when you get to chat with the CEO of one of the top direct selling companies!
I might not be an elite top coach, YET, but they still treat all of us like royalty!
I could never soak up enough information about Beachbody and growing my business!
Have you heard of Beachbody? Do you know how big of a deal this is?!
What do you do to recharge and refocus after an off day?
Today I felt like I was just half a step off all day. Can't quite put my finger on why, but tonight was not going my way (sat in traffic 30 min longer than the norm, dog puked all over the couch, burned my dinner while dealing with said dog mess- she seems to be fine btw ). And just when I was starting to regret getting up this morning the doorbell rings and my next 30 day supply of my fav meal shows up. Now sitting on the (opposite) couch with sleeping dog at my side, candles burning, listening to 'throwback jamz' on the TV, reading an insightful book, and thankfully drinking another shake for the day for my dinner. Trying to recenter before wrapping up the day and finding that half step tomorrow.
