The mental side to generating positive CHANGE
Being mentally ready for CHANGE means everything. Examples?
If you break up with someone who you've been with for a long time but you haven't resolved it mentally first, you will cave and go back to them.. even if you aren't happy or "meant to be" with them.
If you decide to start clean eating but you haven't thought about what that means, what you ( Read more... ) -
Getting real
You know how we all love to be in denial about the things we *don't* want to change? I coach people to fitness and I lead people in the workplace - I can spot a vice for someone else a mile away. But man - it can be crazy difficult to let your OWN guard down and take a cold hard look in the mirror and ADMIT to your own addictions or habits that ( Read more... ) -
Day 1 Recap
So I ate to plan yesterday - 100%. No beer, no starbucks, no chocolate - kept my macro nutrients in balance and kept to my target calorie intake.
I intended to shock the system so my activity included ( Read more... ) -
30 days of Insanity!
I wanted to share here that I am starting a new hybrid program. I am doing 30 days of both Body Beast and Insanity Max 30. I have created this schedule and intend to STICK to it until the end of the month (at which time we are off to BC and after that I am off to Nashville for a coach retreat).
I am looking forward to sticking to the schedule even ( Read more... ) -
the blessing & the curse
I seem to be stuck on the subject of authenticity the past two weeks. To give some background info... I can read people incredibly well.. it has been both a blessing and a curse since as long as I can remember. A blessing because I don't waste time of people who are not straight up people - and a curse because I inadvertantly can't "pretend" to ( Read more... ) -
this & that
* Spent this weekend in an absolute blur.. Friday being a horrible day! I fell (yup, fell) - twisted my left ankle and bruised/cut my right knee. Drove downtown for my hair appointment and traffic was AWFUL. Traffic rarely bothers me but I almost got hit twice, it was stressful. After my hair appointment I went into the parkade where I finally ( Read more... ) -
Goals and stuff
I have always been a journal-girl.. paper or online.. I feel good writing things down. It was the only way I could study when I was younger too.. some how writing things down helps them stick. So I also write my goals and dreams down. I thought - "wow - what a fluke" when I read back my written journal from when I was about 13/14. I had sat down ( Read more... ) -
Power of the mind
I just started looking through the amount of women on this journey with me - the amount of progress they have made - and I had to sit back and think wow. What if I had never started? What I let self doubt overwhelm me?
SO much of this world is mental. Believing in yourself. Not caring what other people think. We are on this planet for such a short ( Read more... ) -
Fitness Journey: Mission FINAL FIFTEEN - Day 4
So as you know. I do fitness coaching. I am in fairly good shape after having two kids... but what you don't know is that I was previously a chronic yo-yo dieter. Before I had kids my big goal was "thin" - so my focus was purely on dropping lbs and dropping them fast.
Fast forward to having little people of my own. I can't pinpoint the moment but ( Read more... )
