Mom Bod

.Reading time 3 minutes.

There isn’t anything sexier than a mom’s bod. We have been through hell and back with these bodies, and yet we rise. By the time we are 12 or 13, we have experienced more discomfort, aches, and pains from our head to our toes.

Starting in our preteen years, we have had growing pains and menstrual cycles that have prevented us from performing to our highest abilities. Every month for an entire week, we have to adjust our schedule because of cramps and heavy blood flow. Not to mention the headaches, stomach bloating, and cravings that will turn us into a whole new beast. Read More

You Got Time!

.Reading time 3 minutes.

As a trainer, the one thing I always hear from my clients is, “I don’t have time.”

Trust me, I get it. We don’t all have time to make extravagant meals every day or hit our step goals. It is unrealistic for me to expect my clients to do something that I too struggle with. During my first virtual meeting with my clients, I let them know that I am a mom of 3, I have a husband that travels, and all of my kids are involved with sports. Read More

So What!

.Reading time 3 minutes.

Often times I sent back, and I just watch people. How they move and interact with one another. How they take an unspoken, hidden glance at each other.

I especially love the hidden glance.

There is so much packed into a silent stare. Their eyes were quickly searching over someone’s body and fixated on the parts that they hate about themselves. It may even be an internal fixation. You can’t see someone’s heart, but you can feel how it electrifies a room. Read More

.Reading time 4 minutes.

The other day I was talking to a good friend of mine, and we were discussing weight!

Yes, the topic that all women groan and complain about. You know we all have that ten pounds that we nag about. How I hate the deadly ten. I have to tell you that I laugh every time I ask a new client how much they want to lose. It never fails I either here 30 pounds or the magic 10.

I feel ya for sure!

Then they say I don’t want to look like I did when I was in my 20’s because I fear I’m too old to pull that look off.

When I hear that I immediately say,

“Ummm, excuse me…. please explain”! Read More
