MOTIVATION

Those days where you think to yourself "just dont feel motivated"

Or "I cant seem to find the motivation to..."

After a looooong life of following plans and programs and steb-by-step exercises, the thing that held me back was not being motivated to want to do these things...

BUT!

When you build a lifestyle made up of activities, people, foods, lifestyle habits that you ENJOY you dont have to wait for motivation to show up or think you have to search high and low for it.

You dont need motivation to live a lifestyle you enjoy and are excited to live. It'll never be perfect but it will be YOURS.

Wherever you are in your journey, I hope you're enjoying the things you enjoy and exploring new things that you never even knew you would enjoy!

TRAVEL

We get into a groove after surgery ...
Protein coffee in the morning
Eggs and turkey bacon for 1st meal
Turkey and cheese roll ups for lunch
Chicken and veggies for dinner
Maybe a little protein pudding for a sweet evening treat...

When we travel we dont always have control of what, when and how much we can eat...and thats uncomfortable.

Planning ahead is your best plan. Plan as if you have no clue if youll have access to anything and youll set yourself up for a support system no matter where you go

There's a big, beautiful, incredible world out there to see. We live in a body we can move around in and fit in an airplane seat and walk up stairs of ancient ruins and swim in crystal blue tropical waters...

You deserve to explore the world in the new body and new person youve built.

Find what works for you and be willing to accept its not always going to be perfect.

Happy Travels
Lyss Remaly

The Good Ole Days

There are days missed when eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted however I wanted.

I've learned to care so deeply for my health and wellness I sometimes remember those days where I had no idea what macros were. Mashed potatoes were a food group and eating alone in my car was the best eating spot

Losing the weight gave me the opportunity to build a life Im truly excited to live. Thats worth everything I've experienced on this journey

UPCHUCK

It'll happen to all of us...you drink too fast after youve just eaten...
You feel the tightening in your chest and the warm spit collecting in your mouth...
You know its coming...
You make a beeline for the bathroom....
And.....you know what comes next

Its part of the learning process. Separating eating and drinking, learning to slow down and eat, take small bites and chew and dont chug that water

Don't let it scare you. Let it be a learning lesson to pay attention to what you eat, when, how much you drink and when...

Wherever you are in your journey...I wish you luck and success

Sit Fit For Life was created when I was close to 400 pounds and terrified to go to the gym, no desire to take a group fitness class and fear that I would hurt or be uncomfortable

Starting with sitting have me the chance to build confidence in how I move my body, build strength and function in how I move everyday.

I created Sit Fit For Life to build a different relationship with exercise and movement and give everyone and every BODY no matter where they are in their life the opportunity to enjoy movement and have FUN!

Join me for a movement snack as we practice and work on BALANCE

Getting it Right

How do we know what we're doing is the right thing for us?

We follow the guidance of our doctor, we do all the right things we were told to do, maybe we even ask other folks online what they do.

Getting it Right is very personal and you will know when what youre doing is right for you.

Here's how you know:

1. It works for your body
2. You feel good and it supports your goals
3. Its something you can do long-term

There is no one size fits all in this experience. What worked for someone else may not work for you. Then 18 months goes by and you realize you were chasing answers instead of discovering them within yourself.

Much more challenging to so it this way, however, youre more likely to set yourself up for sustainable long-term success
