As women (especially), we tend to overthink.
For example, I can bet the majority of yall would rather not start a workout plan b/c you fear that you're going to it wrong.
I'm here to tell you that ANY FORWARD MOVEMENT IS MOVEMENT NONETHELESS.
Please just DO!!!
Anything..
Walk, dance, pushups, etc.
Whatever you do WILL be more than you've done!
Thats amazing! 😍
Progress TRULY begins w/ 1 step forward !
I'M HERE TO HELP IF YOU NEED IT!!❤️

When you eat foods that you need (w/ intelligently planned timing), YOU control your hunger!
When you eat foods that you want (when you're just hungry), know that your HUNGER controls you!
The difference can truly be life changing!

Early morning thoughts...If you're lifting weight and get to a number ⬆️ your intended rep range and/or aren't really "feeling" the burn, here's what to do!
1. Lift w/ intention! My clients will vouch that this is a phrase I commonly use. Shift your focus to what you're doing (a.k.a. work to contract and stretch, which better allows for full ROM in each movement).
2. SLOW DOWN! By simply slowing the tempo of your lift, you will likely experience a dramatic increase in the "suck factor" (which is what we all want/need for results btw)!
3. ⬆️ your weight by small/safe increments! This is one of my favorite things to do with clients (when appropriate). Under the correct circumstances (lifting form primarily), this can cause such an awesome boost in confidence and results.
✳️The above options are ways to achieve what is called progressive overload, which is typically the goal in most weight lifting programs.
✳️✳️If you're struggling in knowing you're that youre doing things correctly and efficiently, please reach out!
I offer a variety of options to assist in various schedules and budgets!
Let's get this together! 💪🏽🔥

To branch off of a recent post, perception IS everything (in fitness and in life).
How you feel about fitness/nutrition (and your success therein) are ultimately determined by your perception of them.
Is working out/eating clean considered a punishment?
Is success to you only represented by a number on the scale?
If this is the case, you may have noticed you've adopted an "all or nothing" approach. Meaning if you fall off the wagon and have a slice of pizza, you then say "I messed up so why even try" and you have many more slices (and then maybe some ice cream after).
#1-PLEASE give yourself grace and try a new approach if this hits home.
#2-Instead of looking at nutrition as good vs. bad or working out as something you HAVE to do, just try shifting your mindset. Instead, try looking at both as self care, in that they're things you get to do b/c you're alive and able to control your health.
Does it take discipline? Absolutely!!
Does it mean you can't enjoy food? No!!
But when you truly change your mindset, you begin to move forward in a new and powerful way.
You'll notice a momentum starting to build.
Simply put, it's about changing thoughts from "I can't" to "I get to."
If you need tips on how to better practice this shift, please reach out!
As I love to tell clients, we often don't realize just how badly we feel until we start to feel good! That won't happen by accident my friends. But I promise that it's possible. 💗

IYKYK.
Once you get into this lifestyle heartily, you learn to look at food w/ a different mindset. That being said, don't think I ever turn down some good cheesecake! However, Im mostly able to look at food as "nutrition." Instead of thinking "what am I craving," I now (mostly) instinctively think "what does my body need?"
It's typically a balance of protein, carbs and a sprinkle of healthy fats!
If that sounds foreign/crazy, I promise its just a mindset shift!
With time (and results) you WILL learn the value.
If your nutrition is lacking, please reach out.
At the very least, Id love to give you some useful food tips to get you started!
