Self Worth….Can you “build” self-worth? I was having a conversation the other day with a friend of mine about self-worth.  In our conversation, we talked about how “we”, mainly women (and of course we are speaking globally, and if this does not pertain to you at all, then you go girl!), but for us, let’s just say, for me and my friend, we put our WORTH (our value) based on what we wear, how we look in what we wear, who we are with, our careers, purses, cars, etc.  Then, when those things are taken from us or are not measuring up like we thought they should have, we feel like we do not have value.  Which we know is a flat out lie.  Self-worth has been on my heart a lot lately because I have noticed many of my coaching clients say things like, “when I lose XXX pounds, I will love myself more.”  Many of these clients are women.  So, it prompted me to dig into the subject more.  Of course, all of us, not just women, but men too, struggle with self-worth So...

 The debate continues! In this video, I share my thoughts about breakfast, breakfast ideas, and if breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Check it out!  About this photo: This is our dog Persia.  Sadly, she passed on to dog heaven in 2020.  We had her for 10 years.  She was always a puppy at heart.  Our cuddle bug.  We miss her dearly.  

Get ready to work your butt and tum tum!!  Exercise does not have to complicated.  But if you like complicated, and it gives you joy, by all means, do it!  For me, I like to keep it simple.  Sure, every so often I like to get creative with my workouts, but for the most part, they are pretty straight forward.  This workout only includes 2 exercises.  It's perfect for something quick, but still effective! I use a stability ball and one dumbbell in this workout.  However, you can definitely adjust and use whatever equipment you have.  You can add flair to the squats by adding a jump, or more weight.  You can do the crunch without the stability ball, and lay on the mat.  You can nix the weight.  Just make it your own.  You can use my workout sort of like a template and add your own "recipe."  Comment and let me know how you did and what you did to make it your own!  Lower Body and Core! - https://youtu.be/bGKHK62MBV8 Abou...

“As iron sharpens iron, so no one can sharpen another.” Proverbs 27:17 I am training for a fitness competition right now.  I have always wanted to try competing.  Well, I always envied those women who got on stage.  And now, I feel ready to give it a go myself.  When I first started training, I got my bodybuilding book.  Joined all the bodybuilding Facebook groups.  Started following all the competitors I envied on Instagram, and started looking at competitions on Youtube.  And BOY was I lost in a sea of too much information.  I decided to hire a coach.  As a personal trainer, I have never ever worked with another trainer before.  I have never had someone develop workouts for me, or tell me what to eat.  It has always been the other way around.   At the beginning of our relationship, I went in with the mindset of asking for her advice, but I already had my mind made up of what I was going to do.  After a few weeks of ...

Wellbeing is a bigger topic than EVER right now, and ironically enough, one of the biggest enemies to a healthy immune system is STRESS. ????   And, this season, plus being in 2020, stress is just a lot right now.   A couple quick ways to tell your brain it’s ok! 🌟Tell yourself “It’s okay.”. I love to tell myself “It is well with my soul.”  🌟Long, slow, deep breathing!????  My favorite breathing exercise is called Box Breathing.  It's simple and a great way to calm your nervous system and re-focus.  This is how it works.  Visualize a box.  Take a deep breath from your belly in, and visualize drawing 1 line of the box.  Hold the breath for 1 second.  Exhale and draw (with your mind) the second line of the box.  Hold the breath for 1 second.  Inhale, drawing the 3rd line of the box.  Hold the breath for 1 second.  Exhale, drawing the 4th line of the box.  Hold the breath for 1 second.  Begin to bre...
