What fitness goals do you have?

This time of year many think about goals, resolutions or plans that they have for the new year.  Then just as soon as they set them……they brake them.  Why? Many times we just lack the true desire to push through to reach our goals.  Maybe we need an accountability partner…someone who will keep us on track towards those goals.  Or maybe something like what happened here in WA state..snow & ice storm that shut down cities.  I know some of you who live with 3 feet of snow all winter think we are wimps…well when you live in area that has more hills than flat streets and where snow is then covered with freezing rain that snaps trees in half resulting in power outages to over 250,000 residants…….I don’t feel like a wimp.  The gym I work at has been without power for 5 days…..I am dying to teach my classes but can’t quite yet.  It got me thinking….

To reach your fitness goals you have to make sure you set yourself up for success….not failure. If you really are serious about losing weight, toning up, getting yourself back to being active….then you have to take the steps to make sure you can have SUCCESS!  This may mean cutting out time for yourself…..not letting anything get in the way. It may mean spending money to ensure you have the right nutrition, equipment, programs or a gym membership. It may mean saying no to success killers like sugary sweets, alcohol, or processed foods.

It surprises me how many people want to be fit, feel better or just get more active….but they can’t give up “this” or “that”. As my husband says “then they don’t really want to be fit or feel better”.

I want to help my community to reach their goals of fitness.  Whether you belong to a gym or not…it is my passion and my GOAL to help as many as I can in 2012 with their goals of fitness.  My February fitness challenge is full……Yahoo for those who signed up. I will start one each month with small groups. This isn’t a gimmack but a proven formula for success – Accountability + Proven Programs + Nutrition = SUCCESS!!

Instructor Tip – Form is Foremost

With so many instructors joining the awesome world of fitness how can you set yourself apart and be that off the hook, in demand instructor.  Here is tip #1 to help you on your journey.  Lots to come!!

B.

No time like NOW!!

Feels like forever since I said I was back in action with fitnessfunandforyou.com.  Much in my life has been going on and things feel as if they are maybe settling down, notice I said maybe.  Ever feel like you will never get back on track?  I visited my father in China in April, had sick kids from Jan thru till recent and have been working hard in all areas including trying to keep our home.  The key is I guess to keep on doing what you can….even a little step a day toward your dreams and goals keeps the momentum moving in the right direction.  Same being with your fitness program, business venture or family relationships.  Keep moving in the right direction even if it is baby steps.  Even if you trip up, get up and dust yourself off and start again.  The alternative is failure again and that is not an option…..right!!

So that is my tip till next time which won’t be 3 months. Have a wonderful 3 day weekend.

B.

BTW…we got a home loan mod after a year of perserverence, the run around, a detailed letter and the help of a WA Senator….thank you!!

Motivational Tip Monday – Summer is Coming

That is right…summer is coming. Now if you live in Seattle you may doubt that with all the rain/snow/sleet & wind we have been having but non-the-less…it is coming. It comes every year and now is the time to start on your fitness goals.

Sit down right now and write out your fitness goals. Use positive language and speak as if it were already what you have. So instead of saying – I want to lose “X” amount of pounds say “I am now “X” pounds and feel healthy and happy”. What ever your goals are write them out and post them somewhere you will see them every day. When you see that goal in front of you…read it, smile and believe it. Most of the road blocks we have is all in our head…yup…the negative Nancy that lives upstairs. Start dismissing negative Nancy and seeing how you want to be.
Next step is to take action towards your goal. Reading & speaking your fitness goal will not suddenly drop pounds off your thighs when you sit and stare at them. Take action towards your goals.
Accountability is a huge help in realizing your goals so grab your fitness accountability partner and set goals, work towards them and see success. (see previous post on accountability)

Summer is coming…..and I can’t wait!!

http://teambeachbody.com/showcase/-/bcp/692210284001/10428?referringRepId=10428

• Each week you will receive a Fired Up video newsletter from me with encouragement, tips and a featured TurboFire recipe selection.
• Your commitment to the program…workouts AND food plan is vital for success.  So to help you stay commited to the program you will be part of our Facebook group and each Sunday night/Monday morning will report to me your workouts completed and how well you stuck to the food plan…yes you will have to keep track….to help with this we will send you a small notebook and pen just for recording your food intake.  
• Once a month we will be scheduling a weekend workout where everyone from all the teams can come together and workout. (local to Seattle/Tacoma)
• At the end of our 90 days I will host a TurboFire luncheon at my house…date announced later where we can all celebrate our success together.

Here is one more suggestion –  Nutrition is a huge part of this program.  You will see results even if you only do the workouts but the best results are if you eat right and follow the food plan as close as possible.  This includes the #1 nutritional product in my books…..Shakeology.  It is a meal replacement with over 70 ingrediants from around the world and is like 5 full trips to a salad bar in one Shake.  It is an excellent product so much so that I have 3 bags shipped to my home so that my kids can have their shake a day as well.  Check it out on my website as well or click on the Shakeology link.  (not required for the challenge)

I am excited to be on this journey with you and am here to help you in any way I can.  Health & Fitness is fun and when you do it as a group…..something you can stick with.  Please let me know ifou have any questions on the challenge, program or ordering. Please note: I do have other programs available and/or I also can do a Shakeology 90 Shake a day challenge as well.

Here is my video from the last challenge for more info!!

Kid’s Shakeology Challenge

After all my talk about loving Shakeology and all the benefits it became apparent after my kids were sick AGAIN that I wasn’t practicing it with them.  So the kids agreed to drinking one shake a day for 30 days. My personal goals for each are: Taylor – she skips breakfast because as a 13yr old….your hair looking perfect comes before eating.  Dayton: he doesn’t touch anything green vegetable wise and gets sick.  Dylan: he is very active and gets super….ahhh…..”passionate” at school.  Nutrition plays huge in his actions.  I am excited to see what happens.  They each came up with their own favorite recipe and are sharing it with you.  Dayton got sick two days after filming but is better now…still taking his one a day shake.  Check it out and we will be in touch in 30 days for an update.
