Motivate Me Monday

It was a drizzly day in Dallas and not too tough to stay under the covers. Hubs let me sleep in until 10a and it was heavenly.

I only have today to unpack my car, launder and sort, and repack for the trip back to Kansas City tomorrow. I felt overwhelmed around 7pm when I was sitting in a mess of winter and summer clothes an had no idea what to do or where to put them since I don't stay here full time yet.

Today was day 8 of my 21 day fix and the workout was total body cardio- It sweat like a $2 you know what in church......but I made it through! I booked a massage this evening and then made baked chicken and roasted veggies for dinner....we LOVE oven roasted broccoli, cauliflower, & carrots! I'm sticking to my clean eats whenever I can!

I was thinking back to what motivates me.... I get inspired by seeing others succeed. I am motivated by success and pleasing people.....I like  a good quote just like anyone. The one thing that motivates me more that anything is being part of a team and that feeling of camaraderie... Can you think back to college, high school, neighborhood kids you hung out with? I was just happy sitting around on the couch watching TV until I was participating in a group activity....softball, volleyball, horsing around with friend in the yard...

My days at Delta are numbered and I plan on starting a second career in fitness coaching and wellness/nutrition. I manage groups of people with different interest but a common goal and that it to work together to make the most of their time and efforts and progress together with success and failures and a pick me up when someone is having a tough time. I know when I began my health journey in 2001, it was my group of online friends that helped me through my challenges and disappointments and I really want to pay that forward. If you would like to be included in a any of my groups - allow me to motivate and inspire you, drop me a message with what you are looking for and I would be privileged to have your company!

How to Create a Beachbody Hybrid Workout Schedule

Image
It’s Day 28 of  INSANITY MAX:30 , and you couldn’t be more excited. You feel amazing, you look amazing, and you’re starting to think “What’s next?” Should you do another round with Super Trainer  Shaun T , or move on to a different program, like  CORE DE FORCE ? Or maybe you don’t have to choose; maybe you can combine them to create the ultimate hard-hitting total-body  HIIT  program! I have a love/hate relationship with hybrid workouts. Why? Wouldn't it ultimately be the best of both worlds? First, there are a lot of people making  Beachbody hybrids  that have no clue what they are doing.  They are just piecing random programs together and hoping for the best.  Don't get me wrong I know it's fun to do.  If you don't do it properly though you may become frustrated and wonder why you aren't reaching any of the goals you set for yourself.  One person's hybrid will not work for everyone and most likely isn't even working for them.  It needs to be

Night Time Eating Derailment - Help!

Image
Late night snacking is a deeply ingrained pattern that almost all of us have been stuck in at one point or another. Even if your goal isn’t to lose weight, eating immediately before bed is not optimal for your health. Right before bed, it’s best to only drink water or tea and allow your organs a rest period. This creates spaciousness for cellular repair, organ detox, and inflammation repair. However, when life gets real, late-night snacking isn’t always something you can avoid. You might be up late with the kids, be a shift-worker or be dealing with life circumstances that are keeping you up. Here are a few snack options you can reach to that won’t derail your weight loss efforts. All of these options are in line with the  Clean Eating  philosophy. 1. Cucumber slices with lemon juice + salt or hummus Cucumber slices are refreshing, light on the system and full of water. Sometimes just a light snack of fresh sliced veggies with a bit of hummus will be just the right amoun

4 Unique Ways to Get Your 10,000 Steps Into Your Day

Part of reaching your health and fitness goals is literally putting one foot in front of the other… again and again and again. Perhaps you are one of those people who are active outside of the office?  Be aware that sitting for extended periods of time isn’t great even for people who exercise on the regular.  That’s partially because long bouts of inactivity inhibit the flow of blood and nutrients to your muscles between exercise sessions, explains Jason Raynor, C.S.C.S., a Nike Master Trainer with the Spa at JW Marriott Chicago. Performing regular activity like walking throughout the day, however, can help your   muscles recover   and reduce exercise-induced inflammation, Raynor says. . Why Take 10,000 Steps a Day? “There’s nothing magical about the 10,000 number,” Dr. Campbell says. “The number came from pedometers sold in Japan in the 1960s. They were marketed under the name ‘manpo-kei,’ which translates to ‘10,000 steps meter.’ The 10,000 step count then just kind of cau
