How to keep the Momentum for the race.

If you are tired of starting over it is time to keep the momentum going. How you as? Well I am going to tell you how. I have found that when my momentum has stopped by enjoying a birthday party too much or enjoying a holiday for longer than I should I find my momentum suffers. When Momentum suffers you have to reach deep down into your self find the dedication and motivation again and recreate the wonderful feeling of momentum again. When you have Momentum I find it is easier to say no to some of the things that will set you back. I find it easier to get up an hour early and work on your goal that your have set a great mood for you day.

Lets imagine you are a Daytona 500 race car driver. When you hear start your engine you need to warm it up so what do you do? Well you tap the gas pedal. Remember this is just to warm up your car. Right before time you put your car in 1st gear and put on a mean game face. When you hit the gas pedal it is time to focus, make a quick game plan to get around the other cars so that you can gain some momentum. As soon as you start to get your speed you see the curve and you have no idea what is on the other side of the curve but you push the gas pedal harder because you are ready to see what on the other side of the curve so that you can take the next step to stay ahead of the pack. With all of this momentum you push ahead and you fly around all the other cars. As soon as you take your eye of the road you experience side swipes, flat tires, and small bumps in the road. It become a little tougher to stay on track when you hit the wall or flip your car. This is the moment the moment when you must dip deep find the voice in your head that says you got this, the voice that says you're still in the race. This is your race and you are ready to take the cup home!

As you can see the momentum of your car slow in the beginning slow but as you build up your momentum you can make anything part of your life. By setting goals and pacing yourself with a game plan you will soon be on a roll. What do you do when you hit life's little bumps along the way?

1. Set a goal and visualize it down to the most minute detail. See it, feel it, hear the sounds that accompany the end result (wind rushing through your hair, applause). Elite athletes visualize their performance ahead of time right down to the smell of the sweat dripping down their face as they cross the finish line. You can take this method and apply it to anything in your life like a job application making it to the hands of the employer you have been waiting to work for. Visualize that the application stands out above all others and the Employer giving you a call. Sounds silly? Try it what do you have to lose?

2. Make a list of the reasons you want to accomplish the goal. In our busy, distracting world, it’s easy to get blown off course. This is why you need to ground yourself in your goal. For extra “success insurance,” write your list with a pen. Studies show that when we write by hand and connect the letters manually, we engage our goal with the brain in the process. Because typing is an automatic function that involves merely selecting letters, there’s less of a mental connection. Hence my little composition notebook.

3. Break the goal down into smaller pieces and rewards. If you take on a project and try to do the whole thing all at once, you’re going to be overwhelmed.” Enter chunking. My system involves chipping away at a project. Break it down into the smallest realistic steps and only do one at a time. Neuroscience tells us that each small success triggers the brains reward center, releasing feel-good chemical dopamine.

4. Have a strategy, but be prepared to change course. Let Thomas Edison inspire you in this department: “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.” “The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”

5. Get the help you need. It doesn’t necessarily take a village, but our minds can sabotage our efforts. This is when you reach out to a friend, family member or group of like minded people to help you overcome the bumps in the road.

6. Motivation. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, give up. Go back to your Why. Why are you reaching for your goals? Put on your driving gloves because today my friend you are in the race. You will work harder, you will train harder and you will not see anyone else push as hard are you going to push.

Summer Fitness Party Challenge

I CAN'T believe it's the end of April  ALREADY!!! This Summer my calendar is booked with events from birthday parties, baby showers, bridal events, 10 year class reunion, swim team, and Summer Vacation is right around the corner!! But one thing that is non-negotiable for me is my fitness and nutrition! In order to keep up with this busy schedule, spend time with my family, have the energy to run around with my 9 year old son, 2 1/2 year old daughter and hang out with my friends I need to put my health and fitness first! As a busy wife, mom and full time dental assistant I want to show you how you can also have a healthy balance in your life too!!

So as your Beachbody Coach and someone who LOVES working out and Eating Healthy I have decided that options are the way to go! Not everyone loves the same workouts, meal plans, recipes and motivational style. So that's why options are really important. What I do keep the same, is MY commitment to you! That is, I will help you set realistic, measurable, timely health and fitness goals and we will work together to achieve them one day at a time. We will work together for however long it takes, good, bad and ugly!!!

So what are your options?

You can join one of my Summer Fitness Party Challenge and together I can mentor you through a fitness or nutrition program and help you transform your life into one that is healthier, more energetic and confident. You can be surrounded by other people who want to do the same and never feel like you are alone in your struggles. You can log into our closed group and receive the BEST support and guidance and really get amazing results on your own time!

Your first option is to do a 60 day fitness program. This month I will be starting one at the middle of the month as well as beginning of April. You will have the ability to workout on your own in your home to one of Beachbody's fitness programs which I will help you choose the right one for you. In this group we will discuss fitness tips, healthy eating, meal planning, recipes and more! Summer Fitness Party Challenge group will begin Monday April 6th.  

Your next option is to do a 30 Day Shakeology and Clean Eating Group. This group is great for someone who isn't ready to commit to a fitness program but still wants to change their eating habits. It's for someone who wants to learn more about clean eating and wants to give Shakeology a try. I will work with you on your weekly meal plans, recipes, motivation and tips. I will share how I plan my weeks, prepare my snacks, deal with traveling, social gatherings and much more. This group is all done through the closed facebook group as well.

The third option is to join my team as a Beachbody coach! I am starting a unique mentoring program for new coaches who are ready to learn about the business and take the next step. This program is 60 days long and will require a few hours of your time each week. I will have a closed group where I will mentor, support and guide you for 60 days to teach you my successful business strategy plus the tools of the trade from other top coaches in the industry! For more information on how to be a part of the 60 day apprenticeship program please contact me NOW!

 So now that you have heard the options it's time for YOU to ask questions! The best way for you to figure out what program is best for you is to contact me. What I will do is ask you some questions to find out what your own personal health and fitness goals are. I also want to know what workouts and weight loss programs have you done in the past. What worked and didn't work? Why do you want to do this challenge group? How much time do you have to devote to working out each day? Lastly, what workouts do you like to do? Do you like Zumba, Strength training, running, aerobics, ect...? By us having this discussion I can really determine if this program will work for you! I am not afraid to be honest, because I truly want to help you.

So it's ok if you ask all the questions and decide it's not your thing! But at least you explored your options.
So before you go joining a gym and paying out the wazoo for something you may use for 2 weeks and then be done with, give this a shot! It just might change your life, FOREVER!!!!
