Wear what makes you comfortable and what will get you to actually working out. For me during the summer it's a riding shirt from Fly racing gear and padded pike shorts. Lol but come winter it's sweats because I workout from home.

Either way I'm not losing weight, I'm getting rid of it for good, hence the funeral. 😉

The opinion of others should never be your fuel to change anything about yourself. Strength in your self love and courage to seek that it continually is what matters most.

I'm not saying you need to change to fit into what other people might say or think of you, but if you do want to make a transition toward good health I'm hear l here to help you. :)

Stressed out about things? Let's plan a 3 week yoga retreat for September! Did I mention that it's free? ;) Message me for details.

"You Don't Have to Be Pretty. You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother. You don't owe it to your children. You don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked female. - Erin McKean

I want to thank these gorgeous souls who participated. These women were willing to bare not just their bodies but a little bit of their hearts for this project. I asked them to write down something another person has said to them in their lives about their bodies that impacted their self confidence negatively. Then I had them write down something they know to be true of themselves that has nothing to do with physicality. I loved the moment of seeing their faces and demeanors change when they held up the second card. They are all beautiful. period. I hope that for at least those couple hours, they knew it to be true.

It's days like this when I'm so thankful for my good health because it gives me the confidence to know that I can walk this distance without any issue!

I remember when walling this distance in this heat would have made my feet, legs, knees and back ache for days.

I'm so thankful that I was able to forego the expenses of cabs, while enjoying and learning at this Coach Summit event, because I'm able to walk this distance thanks to being in good health. Maybe it's a little thing, but I really don't miss the shin splints or back and foot aches lol.

Share an example, no matter how small or big, of something you're thankful for because you made your health a priority.

My goodness it's been a crazy month! Skydiving trip, working two jobs, squeezing in bike rides and now off to Coach Summit in Nashville where I get to learn how to be a better coach. I'm so excited for this opportunity to be surrounded by so many wonderful and inspirational folks!

Two bags for 3 days 4 nights, my dad would be so proud lol.

When time is short think of the view from the top and go for it. Be excited to look back to see where you've come from and celebrate the journey to where you are now. Beauty is everywhere, go find it where you live and post pictures in the comments below!

Snuck in a short ride since I haven't been in over a week. With the headwind for the first half of the ride I sure got some good cardio in. :) I'm thinking about doing a workout roulette for the next couple weeks, any suggestions?

I don't know about you, but this was how my brain worked when I started thinking about getting into shape. I thought about all these reasons why I couldn't afford it or didn't have time, which reminded me about something I had to do later and oh yeah I had to pay that bill next week..etc.

Funny thing was though, I usually only had a side thought about the benefits it had. I mean, I knew I would be good for me but I didn't really get into detail about why it would be good for me. Things like being able to climb stairs without being winded, or being comfortable with being in a picture; not being tired all the time or actually saving money because I wasn't eating out nearly as often; or how about the time I saved because I learned how to meal prep my food to avoid unhealthy snacking because I already had healthy snacks prepared and waiting.

I really found it interesting how I had millions of excuses why I couldn't be healthier because I was distracted by the not so lonely but oh so lazy ideas I had about fitness and good health. It isn't that complicated or involved, at the end of the day it takes your effort and the singular idea to say, unequivocally YES!

So if you want to jump on a different train of thought to get into shape and make a transition in the way you view good health comment YES! below, like or share with a friend this might make you think of, or message me for details. :)
