Love Yourself Today

Happy Monday Beautiful Ladies and Gentlemen! Today I want you to watch your self-talk. I want you to LOVE yourself today. Every time today you think a thought that is less than loving about yourself replace it with self-love right away. Write your loving thought about yourself down if you can. Example – you think: “It’s hot out. Here come my summer clothes. Oh, god I wish I was...

“Do Something You’ve Never Done”

AMEN! If you are stuck you need to shake it up! I have women email me all the time and say, “I want to lose the last 10 pounds BUT these are the workouts I have always done and they are the workouts I want to keep doing.” Ummmmm ya…. If you keep doing what you are doing you are ONLY going to get what you have always had. If you have stalled you have to shake it up!!! You...

What You Focus On Expands

Focus on what you are working for and not on what you are trying to be relieved of. What you focus on expands. If you focus on your problems you are giving them power and control of your emotions. Instead, focus on what you want to feel, experience or be. If you have a negative attitude you are standing in your own way and there is no one in this world that can change that for you. Get out in...

Gratitude: A Note to DAMY

I was thinking about December 2007 going for my first “jog” with my then boyfriend (now husband). I was excited to start to run yet was worried about how I would do. I was 30 pounds heavier at the time and had only really been doing “speed” walking until this point. I only focused on weight loss as “getting skinny” and looking good. I would jump from one starvation diet to the next. I...

Make a Positive Change

“You can’t make positive change unless you want to and are willing to stop fighting for the easy way out. You can not get to new heights doing the same old thing. So decide what you want to accomplish, hold yourself to a high standard, get the guidance you need and stop complaining. Life is too short to not live the life you want or to walk around moaning and groaning. Life is really...

The Truth About Motivation

I received an email from a client today that reminded me of myself a few years ago. She was saying she just didn’t know how to get herself motivated. Her story was like so many. She has lost weight in the past but in a very unhealthy way. She was on an extremely restrictive diet that she could not maintain. So, of course, when she started eating “normal” again she gained all of the weight...

These “things” improve my life

These are a few of my favourite things! Yes, I did just sing that. These are items that make my healthy lifestyle easier and contribute to my overall happiness. Some make life easier and some just make me smile. Take a sneak peak into my life!       So the first would be how I start my day everyday. Along with my first bottle of water and my morning coffee this is my Tex Mex...

The Happy, Healthy Life Anthem

This morning I was thinking about the best advice I have ever received. It made me think about something I read a few years ago in a magazine that I feel really was a bench mark in my life. It was a short write up called “this is it.” The basis was: This is Your life. This is not a dress rehearsal. All the things you want to be, achieve, do, see, feel, have, think about them. This is your...

How do you relax? (How to recharge and unveil your highest potential)
