Set Your Expectations & Rock Out!

Image
At first I use to crave a good ole Dominos Pizza, I had to have my fix at least once a week, but at some point eating like that lead me to a life of misery. Just overwhelmed & unsure if I was ever going to lose the weight. It wasn’t until I developed a different way of looking at things, at looking at life. Not being indecisive or undecided.  I knew that food wasn’t the enemy, it was the way I viewed food, my relationship with or without food and what kind of life was I truly living where food was controlling me. I started to develop a more healthier relationship, not only with my food but also with my thought, my actions and most importantly my words. The words I spoke to myself meant a lot. It would determine if I was really going to put in effort and take action to better my health or was I going to continue down that spiraling roller coaster leading no where but right into hoops and hoops of circles.  I started simple & small, by adding in & not taking out or s...

Let’s Get You Started!

Structure to ones health is necessary! To understand what works & what doesn’t work are key components to weightloss and or staying the same.  In my Signature Coaching Program, I get down to the root of what stops or hinders you from achieving your weightloss goals. Most times it’s the very little details that’s right in front of you that you don’t even realize, which stops you from success.  Weightloss isn’t a one size fits all, it’s a series of events and emotions, physically and emotionally that are necessary to get you through your breakthrough. It took me 6 years to understand what was stopping me from losing the weight. Once I got clear on my goals, my aspirations and took action, everything started to shift & change.  It doesn’t have to take years for your breakthrough๐Ÿ’ฏ You & I will work hand & hand to go through your life pages to get you on the road to:  ❤️Stopping the Self Doubt ❤️Eating for optimal health ❤️Stopping the negative thoughts ❤...

Live In Your Purpose!

It pulls at my heart ♥️ I think about it all day and night! I dream about it! I talk about it to anyone and everyone! I get overly excited just thinking about it. Have you ever felt this way? I have & still do.  When I started my Health & Fitness journey in 2014 I was so excited about just doing right by my body. I had no clear path and any particular one way of doing things, I just knew I was tired of being overwhelmed with weight and tired of having heart palpitations. I just wanted better for myself.  I never imagined that my journey would lead me to phenomenal places. Mentally first, with working on me daily, and seeing me fight old habits and create new habits with my mind. The physical aspects took on a whole new meaning. No more heart palpitations,  no more back pains, the weight was starting to shift in the right directions and the more I cared about my body the more it took care of me.  I knew that if I could help myself reverse the effects of bad ea...

✨Coming into my truth✨

Image
For many many years I wasn’t living in my own truth. I was so distracted by all things and people around me that it became my norm. I was truly living for everyone else and not me. I was a true people pleaser, always looking for that one set of validation or making sure that I was getting recognized for being what other’s thought I should be.  It was just a miserable way to live, but it was who I was. It was my disgusting truth. It wasn’t till I realized that my worth was so much more than being validated by people who could care a 2 cents about me or my family. I started to become my own person. I no longer wanted to live in the shadows of the glits and glam of the so called perfect life.  I wanted normalcy back in my life and I was determined to get back to loving me unconditionally. Slowly but surely I began to wake up and see that my life is just beautiful the way it is and that I had nothing to prove to no one. Once you start living in your truth and going about your prec...
