The Holistic PCOS Chick

My past had made me so fearful to make choices that I would literally wait to long and miss AMAZING opportunities out of fear. My thoughts at the time went something like this, "If I make that choice would it really be a good outcome? What if I fail? What if I succeed?!! Hmm... I don't know if I am ready for this?" I talk to people daily and hear some of these same fears. So restasured you are not alone if you have had any of those thoughts before. We do have to remember that FEAR is captivating. It holds us back from improvement. What is failure? Is it really lack of success? NO! Failure is just a useful learning tool to guide you, mold you, help refine you and show you were the errors are, so you can work to become better and stronger. So the next time you are weighing your options, speak some truth to yourself. Ask yourself "What could go right from this opportunity?" Then allow yourself the room to learn and succeed!

Had a great workout today? Feeling like the extra pounds are finally coming off? Perfect! But that rigorous exercise probably made you hungry enough to eat your entire refrigerator! So, what did you do? Did you reach for the first thing you saw in the pantry or fridge? Did you carefully plan out what you were going to eat? Chances are you may have chosen the wrong post workout snack. Eating after your workout is as equally important as fueling up before hand, but you don’t want to reach for just anything! What you put into your body after you workout has a major effect on your weight loss goals! If you’re eating the wrong foods post workout, you’ll be sure to cancel out all of the work you just put in exercising! After that tough workout, be sure to avoid these foods after your sweat session! ·          Raw Veggies : Raw vegetables are among the healthiest and most nutritious foods you can eat, they aren’t exactly the rig...

Day 3 was supposed to be yesterday, but I was totally exhausted! The baby was not sleeping well and so I was trying to catch zzzz's were I could. I decided not to stress my body anymore then it already was, so I traded my rest and day 3 workout day. Today was a good day. Longer program, but that meant it was easier for me to follow and get the moves down better. I am really enjoying the trainers! Loads of fun and love their accents too! Check out my quick video for more info.

Having the proper support system in place is key to helping yourself succeed in all your goals. Do you find that you tend to be a loner? Why is that? Maybe you should ask yourself that question and really dig down deep. For each of us there are different reasons, but most of it stems from old past history of people letting us down in one fashion or another.. I used to be a loner because I had lost trust in others around me. But what I started to find out was that I was putting my trust into the wrong kind of people. Not everyone deserves our trust, but it is important to find good solids folks to stand with you when times get hard. And good people do still exist!! You just have to be on the look out for them. My own lack of trust in people is why for years I was let down time after time, which eventually led to a very negative perception of people in general. Thankfully once I saw what I was doing, and who I was choosing to put my faith in, it was much easier to find those who were...

Have you ever had issues with your health because you go and go until you end up sick and in bed? You have to find time to rest. I don't just mean getting to bed at a reasonable hour (although that is part of it), I mean that you need to take some time to yourself regularly. How many hours a day do you actually work? Do you need to work less but work smarter? Try taking more time to take care of yourself. Here is what I recommend: Start your day with your workout. Get that out of the way and begin your day with a success. You have truly proven that your health is a priority if you will make this change in your life. I know it's hard at first, but you will be surprised how you can make this a lifelong habit if you make the decision to do this. Next I want you to consider your time for yourself. Do you take time away from your normal environment? Maybe you should take some time to go to the beach, a lake, park, or go for a hike at least once a week. Time away enab...

In life there are low maintenance people and there are high maintenance people. We need to be around people that support us as much as we support them. Finding a relationship where you can truly trust someone is hard but very important. You want to be with people like you who are dreamers that want more out of life. Thi nk of it like you are putting together a team. People don't realize the type of people they are hanging out with until they start having some success. There will be people in your life who will say you are changing but they have no desire for more or to change and grow in their own lives. They are uncomfortable watching you grow because it points out the lack of growth and effort in their own lives. There is nothing you can do about the people in your life who don't want to change. The important thing is not to let them hold you back. As you make new relationships, be mindful of the people you choose to spend your time with. Do the people you spe...

Many of today's health issues can be reversed with a simple change in diet!! I am not saying there is no place for medication. But if you are using medication to avoid making the necessary changes in your life to fix a problem, then you are doing yourself a disservice. Change doesn't have to be hard or painful. You just have to be willing to do it! Stop running for the quick fix and do the work it takes to make change! You body will thank you in the long run. And so will your wallet!!

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."    Marianne Williamson in her book "A Return to Love" 

HAPPY 4th of July, from my kitchen to yours!!

Coach Summit 2012 was in Vegas this year! This was one of the BEST experiences I have ever had. Surrounded by positive people all doing their best to help others and end the trend of obesity! It was AWESOME!  Beachbody totally spoiled us all! We got to stay at the MGM Grand! Attended all sorts of seminars where we learned a lot. And the parties they threw were wonderful! If you have the passion for helping others, there is NO better job then being a Beachbody COACH! I can't say enough about how important it is to surround yourself with positive people! Positive people make the difference in how you view the world and how successful you become. Before Beachbody I never saw myself as a business woman. Heck I never thought I could attain much! But through my time with them Beachbody I have been inspired to be more and do more with my life then I ever thought I could! They are truly inspirational! The highlight of the weekend was watching a good friend of mine win $100,000!!! R...

Ever feel like no matter what you do or try, nothing seems to work out well? Or things end up in disaster? I used to feel this way about life. Unfortunately the way I viewed life at that time was pretty skewed toward the negative, so that is what I was blinded by. Thankfully things have changed!!! What I have found most important in all situations is to ask myself questions. When I think things are not going well, I try to stop and close my eyes. Making a new mental picture of what is going on around me and then asking some important questions. For example, "Is there something I am supposed to be learning at this moment?"..."Are my expectations out of whack?"...."Am I giving this all my effort?"..."Am I quitting too early?"...."Am I allowing old "Head Trash" to get in my way?"...."Am I blowing this situation out of proportion or taking something a bit too seriously?"  No matter the situation, there are always ple...
