One of the best ways to lose weight is to fuel your body with water, healthy fruits, veggies, and lean proteins-that way you'll have the oomph to work out, build muscle, and burn calories.   Water specifically can help you lose weight, how you may ask? 1.  It Suppresses your appetite 2. It aids in digestion - keeps away bloating and feeling tired. 3.  Water keeps the body from retraining water (weird right?) 4.  Water helps tell your body to know the difference between being thirsty and feeling hunger. 5.  It also flushes toxins out of your body... BE smart, drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces...so if you weigh 150, drink 75oz of water per day! Try a new workout...check out all the options here!! Get a new workout now!

Compete w/ yourself!!

Insanity Max 30

Have you heard of this program?

The thing I believe so many struggle w/ when it comes to weight loss...is comparing themselves to others.  Why do we do this?  We don't have their DNA, their body make up, we don't eat what they eat, drink what they drink, workout like they workout, yet we still compare.  Why because so many want the perfect body, the ripped arms, the amazing quads or calves, ABS of STEEL anyone?

But you know what...you will never have their body, nor should you want it...you should want to be the BEST YOU, YOU CAN BE!  You should compete w/ yourself, be a better you than yesterday.  And I mean that in every way.  Not just better in fitness, but in life.  Be more kind, more gentle, stand for something or you'll fall for anything.  Right?  Can I get an AMEN?

#competewithyourself

So for fitness, that's what I love about this new program called Max30...you do the workout today, you push yourself till you can't go any further, you write down your time, take a breath, a drink and get back to it.  Then you do the same thing tomorrow...AND YOU TRY TO BEAT YOUR TIME from the day before...You're not competing w/ anyone's time, EXCEPT your own!

And there is a modifier you can follow the whole time!!  That the camera stays on!  I love this concept of competing w/ yourself...and daily trying to make yourself better.

Will you join me? Will you #competewithyourself?  Will you be better today, than you were yesterday?

Why not you, Why not now?

You are worth it.

More Tips to keep the Weigh off over the Holidays

Hi Friends and Family

Just want to keep you thinking about how to keep the infamous 10 pound holiday weight gain at bay! :-)

Did you know a study was done in the Journal of Physiology that showed just sticking to a daily workout  helps protect your health from the gaining weight over the holiday!  They tested a group of young men, where 1/2 ate whatever they wanted and the same ate whatever they wanted but worked out daily.  The result, they all suffered negative shifts in metabolism, including reduced blood sugar control, HOWEVER, the impact was considerable lower for those that exercised daily!!

So if you want to stay healthy and not suffer the setbacks...Just Say No, but if it's just too hard, then at least pop in a DVD workout, go for a run, go to the gym, pump some iron, do something.  Because something is better than nothing!

If you need advice on what workout to do, send me a message or comment below with your email address...and I'll reach out to you!

Happy Holidays Followers!

May you be blessed this season.
