2022-10-23 16:49:34 +0000 UTC View PostAnd thats a wrap on Italy and Greece! After all of the pasta, pizza, desserts, and alcohol....I only gained 1.6#. Thanks to having a healthy amount of lean tissue, I didn't backslide too hard! I feel flat and soft, but a few days of proper nutrition and working out, I'll feel as good as I did the day I left!
2022-10-16 19:42:58 +0000 UTC View PostFinal day of pasta, pizza and wine ππ§ππ·
2022-10-13 07:17:57 +0000 UTC View PostTaking two weeks off will feel daunting to someone new to fitness! People will ask "how long will it set me back?" To which the answer is......about 2 weeks π€£ Life is for living! Onto Italy for pizza and pasta and limoncello β¨
2022-10-10 06:17:42 +0000 UTC View PostKnow when to push and when to pull back. I organized my week to have a rest day after my flu shot in case I wasn't feeling well....and boy, I was right! Fitness is often the ability to think and plan ahead of time. It ensures your meals on prepared, workouts planned, and clothing needed brought with. Plan your weeks out, it helps a ton!
2022-09-28 14:40:36 +0000 UTC View PostBuilding a big ol' booty takes awhile! Habit changes, diet changes, exercise, water, sleep....so much goes into building muscle and it certainly isn't accidental!
2022-09-07 20:18:59 +0000 UTC View PostDo something that excites you today! Getting 10k steps is only lightly arbitrary; if you currently take 2k steps a day, then 4k might be a better jumping off point. Then 6k, 8k....you get my drift. Get a nice long walk in today π
2022-09-04 19:02:27 +0000 UTC View PostA lot of direct arm work and (tricep AMRAPs and curls!) have been blowing up my arms π³
2022-08-31 19:30:10 +0000 UTC View PostSummer isn't over yet ππβ±οΈπΆοΈ
2022-08-24 20:58:46 +0000 UTC View PostThe saga continued....and I found the one ;) Nothing like finding a piece of clothing that fits you like a glove!
2022-08-17 19:42:10 +0000 UTC View PostBelieve it or not, I HATE shopping! Thinking I should go back for this dress though....yes or no?
2022-08-11 23:08:43 +0000 UTC View PostNothing a little night out, a little black dress and an espresso martini can't fix β¨π₯β€οΈβπ₯
2022-07-26 19:28:37 +0000 UTC View PostIt's my Saturday night β€οΈβπ₯ Are you ready for your week? Workouts scheduled? Meals prepped? Gym bag at the door? Start your week off right!
2022-07-25 01:45:48 +0000 UTC View PostA lot can change in one year when you set an appropriate goal. Drastic isn't the name of my game; sustainable is!
2022-06-20 22:15:29 +0000 UTC View PostNEAT (Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis): Calories you spend that aren't related to exercise! It can be walking, cleaning, eating, cooking, playing, chores, anything that doesn't relate to planned exercise or sports.
2022-06-16 21:11:35 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a vacation, we don't restrict, we don't do excessive cardio....we just go back to the plan βΊοΈ Sustainability in your routine is KEY!
2022-06-09 20:48:41 +0000 UTC View PostWhen booking accomodations for a hiking trip, a hot tub for sore and achy muscles is a MUST! β¨ποΈβ¨
2022-06-07 19:18:52 +0000 UTC View PostMy vacations are rarely relaxing as I prefer to stay active. After 32k steps yesterday... I'd say today might be a half relax day βΊοΈ Still looking for Bigfoot out here...
2022-06-04 13:38:18 +0000 UTC View PostIt's seems so complicated! Where do I start? . . Don't let fitness fool you. It's not complex, but it is hard. Get your steps (10k is great place to start) Drink your water (1/2 your bodyweight in OZ and 15-25oz more on workout days) Eat your protrot (.8-1g per pound of bodyweight is a good general rule) That's it! Enjoy the weekend π
2022-05-20 21:55:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe harder you work, the harder you can play! It's hardly summer yet, but I take my recovery and play time *very* seriously. What are you doing today for self care?
2022-05-17 17:38:26 +0000 UTC View PostShifting your focus from BUILDING over BURNING is a surefire way to lay the bricks of the booty you want. Cardio won't "tone" the muscles if the muscles aren't developed! Cardio is a side dish, not an entree β€οΈβπ₯
2022-05-05 23:16:43 +0000 UTC View PostStress is highly overlooked factor when it comes to fat loss or muscle building. If a client can't control their life stress, there's a good chance the domino effect will occur. Too much stress = ordering take out, skipping workouts, and insufficient sleep are all great ways to hinder your progress! Find a hobby you feel good participating in, spend time outdoors, swimming, biking, dancing, anything physical is a great choice!
2022-04-13 19:40:49 +0000 UTC View PostWith all of the photoshop and doctoring of videos that is possible, I take pride in not editing my photos! No artificially snatching my waist or adding muscles out of air. Not much is real on the internet and it's important Not to hold your self or others to such impossible standards ππ
2022-04-07 22:17:24 +0000 UTC View PostStay focused and stay prepared! Cooking ahead of time is a great way to have your food ready so you don't reach for UberEats when you're hungry π¬ After cooking and cooling, pastas, potatoes and rice change and become better for you and often more digestible. Leftovers are good for you!
2022-04-04 22:47:12 +0000 UTC View PostThat happy feeling after you exercise is thanks to endorphins! It feels good to accomplish a physical feat. I hope you got a good training session in today π
2022-03-30 20:16:09 +0000 UTC View PostHave a fun Sunday π I'm not training today, are you?
2022-03-27 17:03:59 +0000 UTC View PostI hope you got to play a little bit yesterday :) Exercise isn't about just being in the gym it's about moving your body throughout the day!
2022-03-22 22:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostChicago will have 65 degrees, downright tropical for us midwesterners. Go get some vitamin D today...I know I will!
