When The Excuses Get To Us Listen up Injuries, age, circumstances… I have lots of excuses why I “can’t” And you likely do to. We all do! Circumstances are REAL and happen. HOWEVER… What we decide to make of them … now that part is a choice. Many times I’m asked about where to start…. with the workout or the diet? And the question is normally followed by why it won’t be possible. Here is what I want you to know: … [Read more...]

When You Can’t Find The Motivation I have felt like a LOSER before and self beat up is real. What I’m about to share is for you if your current circumstances have you feeling bad and you don’t know where to find the motivation. I’ve failed a LOT. More times than I can count. I’ve been overweight. I’ve been financially broke. I’ve been heart broken, divorced, I have been in PHYSICAL pain. I’ve been a struggling single mom, I’ve been someone who … [Read more...]

You Create What You Focus On We get what we think about whether we like it or not…. Many times in my life I have had failures and set backs… MANY TIMES. And what got me out of those times and self beat up always was and always is changing my focus. Changing what I was THINKING about. Now this was never “instant” and still takes me practice but it works ALWAYS when I can shift my focus. YOU GET MORE OF WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR … [Read more...]

The Fascination With Booties Let’s talk BACKSIDE. Booty, peach, bumm, rear, tush, tuckkkus (in my Yiddish accent lol no idea how to spell it) It’s trendy now. Big 🍑 It wasn’t trendy in my 20s, 30s or earlier 40s. In fact people used to message me asking how to make their backside SMALLER. And me with all my bodyweight knowledge never lifted “heavy” for my glutes. Never. Even WORSE… bc of my lower back issues, and anterior Pelvic tilt and … [Read more...]

Breaking The Pain Cycle “BUT I can’t I’m in pain”… I get it… I’m the queen of injures and pain. I had 3 major injuries in the last year What did I do when I was injured and in pain? How did I stay fit? How did I get OUT OF PAIN? I still moved my body. Yup! But HOLD UP… this was approved and it helped a LOT. I worked through the pain. Yes my doctors encouraged this. I and they knew it was not going make the problem WORSE. The … [Read more...]

Are Your Friends Supportive? TELL THEM TO SHOVE IT “But my friends don’t support my goals”…. “but my friends talk me out of…” “but my friends tear me down and make me feel bad” FIND NEW FRIENDS. Seriously. Life’s too short to not surround yourself and spend time with people that LIFT YOU UP , believe in you, encourage you and CELEBRATE you. And PS they are NOT REAL FRIENDS IF THEY DO NOT CELEBRATE YOU! Save this tool that I’m about to … [Read more...]

Are You Stuck in the Pain Cycle? The PAIN cycle…. are you stuck there? It’s brutal when you are IN it… It works like this: You have PAIN: maybe from an injury, imbalance, something else… Thinking about moving your body, doing that workout, etc… makes you think of the pain so you avoid it. You feel bad about yourself BECAUSE of the pain stopping you from being active… So you DON’T move your body You sit more You EAT … [Read more...]

So many divisions, opinions, fears, judgements and hate happening right now. Dagnabbit…it’s divisive, polarizing and scary. It’s happening all over the place. And it’s sucking way way way too many people in. This morning I felt my mood changing in a bad … [Read more...]

Other People’s Opinions You are getting too old they said The injuries will stop you they said You can’t they said Accept things they said Who is “they” and why do we let their opinions distract us? Other people’s opinions won’t help you live up to your fullest potential. Don’t ignore the power of DECIDING for yourself. I decided post my injuries that I was coming back stronger than ever and MEANT it Started with the mindset Then the … [Read more...]

Change Your Perspective PERSPECTIVE SWITCHING… Ya know how you feel totally different getting dressed up, putting makeup up VS. being in leggings and a messy bun all day? It’s kind of the same thing with PERSPECTIVE CHANGE. I was in FULL self beat up the last few days because of a perceived failure. I was spinning with: “what’s wrong with me” Why did I make this “mistake” again? Why am I “repeating” a pattern? Maybe I’m not MEANT to have … [Read more...]

Who do you want to BE despite the circumstances? I do not think I’ve bad a DRESS on since LAST YEAR! Leggings, zooms instead of so much in person, rules, so much has changed… I was scrolling through my camera roll and found this and it got me thinking about everything that has changed so much this last year… So much we can’t control. So much DIVISION So many polarizing topics So much fear with people So much hate, anger, hurt I asked … [Read more...]

You Won’t Get There By Accident YOU WILL NOT GET THERE BY ACCIDENT. Are you super laser clear on what you actually WANT to create for yourself? If you are not clear on where you want to go you won’t get there ‘by accident’. Kinda like getting in a car and driving without deciding where you are going! You’ll get somewhere but it’s random and you may run out of fuel figuring out the destination. That’s how I spent the first 4 decades … [Read more...]

Massive Action Is Overrated YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE MASSIVE ACTION. Massive action is great but it can also feel overwhelming and make us stop or not start at all… there is another way… small steps over time. There are 365 days in a year. One small step forward every day makes a big difference over the year. I’ve had book number 3 in my mind for quite some time- but it has not poured out of me effortlessly like the first … [Read more...]

Stop Saying I Can’t Drop the “I used to be” syndrome and Stop believing that you are “too” anything ( insert whatever word here like unmotivated, busy, old, injured, etc) The key to being FIT at any age is not what you think… First the 3 basics (which you’ve heard me say before lol but here goes) 1. What you EAT. This is so much of things. Eat MORE unprocessed real natural foods, load up on hydrating nutrient dense veggies, … [Read more...]

There is no growth in that. Experts are … [Read more...]
