Why I Absolutely Love Sundays!

There are countless reasons to love Sunday's right?  I know for me, Sunday's is a great day for me on so many levels.  Not only do I get prepared for my week ahead and set my goals for what I would like to accomplish, but more importantly, it's the day we celebrate our weekly success in my accountability groups.  I just LOVE hearing what awesome things the challengers have accomplished!  Yes we track our physical progress, but that's not all.  We track all kinds of success like:  If we get farther in our workouts, when we do a full burpee for the first time, how we feel in our clothes, if we get a compliment ... these are all awesome reasons to celebrate!!  Each week we celebrate our success, discuss our struggles and set a plan for the new week.



Each week I also like to pick a Challenger of the Week and do a spotlight on all their hard work!  This week is no exception.  This week I'm shining the spot light on a challenger that never gives up ... her determination is inspiring and infectious!  Her name is Jennifer and she is a rock star :) 
Jennifer is a hard working mom of two beautiful children, a daughter and son, and is an amazing wife as well.  She would be the first to admit to you that she is super busy and that definitely causes obstacles in staying on track with her health plan.  I'm sure you busy, working moms out there can relate!  You start off with the best intentions, then life happens and day after day you find yourself putting YOU last.  I'm so proud of Jennifer because she has really been investing in herself and the mindsets that go along with being successful and she just KILLED this last month!  She was on track the entire time with her fitness and her nutrition, had a great attitude and was committed to reaching her goals.  I have seen her work so hard over this past year on making progress and she made all kinds of that this month!  Because of all her hard work, she is down 9lbs!!  Girl I'm so proud of you and I can't wait to see what you do in April with this mindset.  Keep up the amazing work :)

 
 
It truly is the right combination of fitness, nutrition and support that is going to get you to your goals.  You can't just engage in one area and expect to get there and stay there.  Jennifer has been plugging into this system and seeing great success - right along with the rest of us :)  I joined my first accountability group, 4 years ago this month and haven't turned back! 
 
 
If you are looking to change your life on any level, it's important to have a plan in place.  I take on a mind, body and soul approach to coaching.  Where you start all just depends where you are currently at in your life.  I do run various online groups online, both health and mind, body & soul related, but I'm also excited to announce the launch of my new local, free health group called Strong in Seattle Fit Club.  I'm starting to get a bigger local posse and a bigger demand to get out there and start something we can do as a group, so this is what I came up with.  For anyone in the Seattle area, we are going to get together a few times per week and do various activities around the city.  I'm training for a 3 day, 18 mile hike in September so now through the summer I'm going to focus on stair training and hiking.  Did you know there are hundreds of stair routes in the Seattle area - I have a book and everything.  This will be a great workout, along with a great way to explore the city!  I'm also going to try to do one hike per week as well.  There will be weeks I may not be able to do both but I'm going to shoot for a minimum of one activity for the week.  It's a free group, anyone is welcome, and there are no commitments or obligations.  If you're interested, let me know and I'll add you to the Facebook group I've started.  Our first outing is this Wed where we'll be tackling an awesome stair/walking route.  Can't wait :)

Challenger of the Week & Why accountabiltiy rocks!

This weeks challenger of the week has accomplished SO much and is not stopping now!  This week we celebrate Aimee!  Aimee has lost 19.7lbs and 34.5" ... I mean WOW! Girl that's just incredible :)  I'm so beyond proud of you because no matter what you never give up.  She is following her fitness and nutritional plan to help her succeed.  She is also engaging in our online accountability group for motivation and support!  Aimee is working to find balance mind, body and spirit and she is committed to investing in herself.   She is dedicated and doing a lot of hard work.  That's the beauty about hard work though, it pays off :)  Keep up the awesome work Aimee!


I joined my first accountability 4 years ago this month and it completely changed my life!  I yo-yo dieted my entire life and gained and lost the same 30lbs over and over again.  It wasn't until I joined my first accountability group that I received the perfect combination of fitness, nutrition and support!  Up until then, I had no idea how to approach nutrition and thought that if I just worked out, it didn't matter how I ate.  Boy that couldn't be further from the truth!  Now I understand that good nutrition is the key foundation to having great health.  Still to this day, my accountability groups keep me on track and motivated.  I'm not one of those people that just jumps out of the bed pumped to go workout.  However, when I log into my online accountability groups and see everyone showing up and doing their best - it makes me want to show up and do my best too!  It encourages me to set a good example for everyone and it surrounds me with motivation everyday!  After 4 years, I still rely on them to help keep me on track.  I love interacting with all of the people in there because they are all working to better themselves.  We support, motivate and encourage each other to never give up - and that's such an awesome thing to be apart of!  Not only that but the groups are a great source of:  Tips, tools, recipes, advice and so much valuable knowledge to support everyone in reaching their goals.  It truly is about living a healthy lifestyle and never dieting again! What an amazing feeling that is :)

Happy Holidays! Here's to an electric 2015!

I hope this posts finds all of you in that post holiday bliss state of mind.  Looking back over the past few months, the memories you've made, the get-togethers you had, the good friends and family, the amazing food .... the good stuff as I like to call it!  I find the holidays can either bring out the best or worst in people, and I feel fortunate to be surrounded by people I cherish and who enrich my life in so many ways. 
This will be my second Christmas away from home but I carry with me years of the best traditions a girl could hope for and a deep appreciation for my family!  Although I miss my family, I also have an adventurous soul and there is a part in me that also is loving doing new things over the holidays.  Things I never thought I'd be doing.  Yesterday for Christmas, we headed down to Light House Beach in Mukilteo, WA.  We took my dog and played on the beach.  The scenery was absolutely beautiful, the ferry's were running and the light house was decorated for Christmas.  I had to stop, look around and remind myself that this wasn't a dream ... this is where I live, it's Christmas and I'm on a beautiful beach!  I was so full of gratitude and completely in love with my life :)

 
 
 
Now that the holidays are officially over, I'll be switching gears to really focus on my health.  My surgery was pushed back 1 week, due to a scheduling conflict with the surgical team, so my new date is January 26th .... one month from today!  I know this next month is going to go fast and I want to make sure I'm as prepared as possible.  This will include feeding my mind, body and spirit.  I know that my anxiety may increase as the surgery gets closer, but I also feel that I have a lot of healthy tools to reach for and amazing people surrounding me ... I cannot fail! 
It's time to get back on track and get serious.  I need to start training for the biggest event of my life and I want all the support I can get!  You are all invited to join my New Year New You Accountability Group starting January 5th!
Here are some more details on what you can expect from this group:
* An optional 3 Day Refresh Cleanse to kick off your health journey properly!  This will help you to eliminate your sugar cravings, rid your body of toxins, lose bloat and excess weight, boost your metabolism and prepare your body for the rest of the challenge.
* A personalized health and nutritional plan
* Motivation in the form of a private group.  This group will consist of people from all over the county who are different ages and at different fitness levels.  The one thing we have in common is we are all there to improve our health and support each other.
* Support from me, your personal health coach.  My services are included with your tools so once you have those, you have a coach for life!  I will be here every step of the way and will help you tweak your plan as your needs change.  Together we'll work to stay on track and reach your goals!
Does this sound like something that could benefit you?  Please let me know and we can discuss your goals further and I can secure your space in the group.
