What makes you happy? 🤔

That can be a very tough question for people to answer. For me right now, a good personal development book, some pump up tunes, a face mask and a night in with myself.

In the past, I relied my happiness on other people and things. I always had to be doing something and I couldn’t be alone.

It’s crazy how working on yourself internally can make a huge impact on your life. The fact that I used to HATE being alone and now I crave it all because I decided to make my mental health as a priority.

I am a firm believer and from my own experience that physical change won’t work unless you mentally change first. Don’t get me wrong the physical results are great but the inside results have made me the happiest person I’ve ever been. No physical result could give me that.

Don’t be afraid of change, embrace it and be proud of yourself for putting your happiness first! It’s not an easy thing to do but it’s well worth it!

Since my injury 5 months ago I have done a lot of reflection on how I want view fitness going forward. I am sharing these reflections in hopes that I can spread some light on the importance of taking care of yourself and listening to your body.

How I viewed fitness before my injury: working out intensely everyday to become the leanest version of myself, doing whatever it took to get there. This made me exhausted, unhappy and stressed. I struggled to sleep through the night, was taking on too much and neglected the signs my body was giving me to slow down and that resulted in my knee injury.

How I view fitness after having my injury:
Moving my body for at least 30 mins a day. I don’t focus on the end result but more on how I want to feel vs look. Some days it’s just yoga and stretching or it’s a high intensity workout. I don’t punish myself anymore for eating the pizza or ice cream but celebrate with how far I’ve come with my relationship with food. I have become a less anxious person and have started living life not wanting to look a certain way but to enjoy the process by doing the things I love that make me feel good.

This is my reminder to YOU that your body knows you best and those gut instincts you feel are an indication that something isn’t right. Don’t ignore it, take your time to work through it and know that the hard times won’t last forever.

From my experience and looking back I am grateful for that hard time because it has made me understand the value of health and taking care of yourself. I wouldn’t change any of it because it’s brought me to this moment, the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been.

Week ✌🏻 of Barre Blend done and I think my smile says it all!

For those of you who know me I have no coordination or flexibility so this program was last on my list to do but it has surprisingly been one of my favourite so far! Barre has pushed me out of my comfort zone and I feel stronger from using only 2lbs weights and a chair💪🏻

I am very happy that my Netflix for fitness has programs for all fitness levels and has helped my transition back into working out from my injury so easy!

I know how it feels to be lost on what workouts to do or what to eat to reach your fitness goals. I’m here to help you find a workout program specific to your goals and show you that you can eat the foods you love without eliminating them and still get amazing results.

We are always welcoming more people to our amazing supportive fitness community and want to extend the invitation. If YOU are ready to take control and go all in to find a healthy balance in your life, let’s chat!!

My reality for the last few months = Physiotherapy

I was working out 7 days a week and also training for a 10km race. My warm up and cool downs were nonexistent. I had never trained for a long distance race before and pushed myself a little too far.

One day working out I felt a sharp pain up my knee that I’ve never felt before. I immediately stopped working out and tried seeking help but was frustrated because the pandemic just started and everything was closing but I found a physiotherapist who was doing virtual treatments. It was weird that she never got to see my knee but It’s been 3 months working with her and the pain in my knee has decreased so much!

Im happy I took this time to really focus on my therapy and recovery because I have learned a lot about my body and how to protect my knee going forward. I can’t wait to get back to my amazing online workout programs next week and I want to share some helpful tips on how to avoid a knee injury:

1. Wear proper footwear - do your research (for anyone with flat feet or bunions like me ASICS will be your best friend)
2. Take at least 2 rest days a week (yoga and walking are good options if you still want to move)
3. Warm up for 10 minutes with dynamic stretches and cool down for 15 minutes targeting the areas where you feel pain or want relief
4. Ice for 10 mins if sore after exercise
5. Foam roll both morning and night (for knee or leg pain do the ITB and quad muscle) for 30 seconds each side x2
6. If running make sure your stride is short with the middle of the foot hitting the ground (this will decrease the amount of pressure being put on your knees)
7. If you like long distance running do alternating jog/walk to build up your stamina. Starting with 50/50 then each week changing the equation by 10% (ex. 55/45)

Your journey is not a sprint, it’s a marathon.
It may take a long time, or it may take a short time to see results.
You will have good days and you will have bad days.
It will be tough, and you may want to quit.
But you must remember that good things take time and commitment.
This is not a fad diet, it’s a healthy lifestyle.
If you want to get the results you have to work hard and keep going.
Challenge yourself and prove your negative thoughts wrong.
Because you deserve to be happy, healthy and live the life you want confidently!

Important takeaway from the personal development book I just finished reading 📖

We each have a beach bum and a millionaire inside of us.

A potential failure or a potential success.

We each get to decide how things turn out and the direction of our life.

This hit me HARD!

Sometimes we need to check ourselves and be reminded that our daily actions have to be able to get us to our end goals. Keep grinding everyday if you want to see big changes!

How is this my life? I get to work on becoming the best version of myself (mentally and physically), help others on their journey to becoming the best version of themselves and to top that all off I GET PAID FOR IT!

I just got my third coaching paycheck and it honestly feels so amazing to finally find something that I am passionate about. Knowing that I have an amazing team who want ME and trust ME to help them reach their goals makes my heart so happy.

These programs have given me the BEST results and I have met some of my best friends through coaching. This is all because I said yes to this opportunity, I paid $186 to work on becoming the best version of myself, meet friends, join an amazing community of likeminded ladies who support one another and have the chance to earn trips. I can confidently say that was the best $186 I have ever spent. I currently have promos codes for an additional $10 off and with purchase you can get a free box of the pumpkin spice shake ($90 value for FREE). To break it down for you that is only $45 a week for 1 month to change your life 🤔

So, what’s holding you back? I know you all have $186 but I bet it’s because you don’t believe in yourself. Girl, I’m here to tell you that as your future coach I believe in you, you are capable of amazing things you just have to let go of your excuses and say YES to doing the damn thing!

I’m inviting all of you to join me on this amazing journey because the only thing I regret is not starting sooner!
