A TRANSPHORMATION CHALLENGE!! Count me in! A FREE chance to get healthy, get my best body ever and possibly win money, it's a no brainer. But I have to take pictures 😲😲 I'm not ready for pictures..... well duh! Nobody likes taking progress pictures, specially not when you're starting, I mean that's like exposing the ugly truth, you haven't been taking care of yourself like you should. Nobody wants to admit that. But you know what, facing that truth, facing the fact that you need to make a change is exactly what you need to get started. It sure was for me. I don't like progress pictures at all, and in fact these are pretty embarrassing for me, but I have been to easy on myself for awhile now, I haven't been pushing myself and I've allowed myself to be lazy, cause I look good enough. It's time to stop that and this Transphormation Challenge comes at just the right time. I'm taking back control. Who's with me?? Cause not only am I a Transphormer in this challenge too, but I'm also a trainer in it and I'm here to help anyone who wants to get through it.

From last night's meal prep party hosted by @uniquely_fit_ while she went over the basics of meal prepping I had the honor of speaking about the basics of supplementation to these wonderful ladies. And I just want to thank them for allowing me to help them out. And @chef_middleton dinner was delicious 😁 #GlacierBodies #ImFitPC #WomenEmpowerWomen #1stPhorm #LegionOfBoom (at Panama City, Florida)

New Year, new me!!! NOPE New Year, same me, cause I'm already on my path, I'm already working on my dream, I'm already heading in the right direction. Have a made some new goals? Hell yeah I have. Have í found some new ways to get to my where I want to, I sure as hell have. I learned and grew during this past year and I shall continue to grow and be better in every way, every day. It's not an intervention, it's a continuous grind and struggle every day. And I love it. The path to success is like building my body, it's a life long quest for improvement, with ups and downs and some distractions and lots of focus. It's not a 12 week transformation with happily ever after at the end. So don't try to reinvent yourself in just couple of short weeks, love the state you're in and keep making small improvements every day, every week and before you know it change has been made. #GlacierBodies #BestSelf #1stPhorm #BestVersionOfYou #NewYear #SameMe #ButBetter (at Bay County, Florida)

My 9 most popular post of 2017, reflecting back of have to say that I had a pretty good year. Even though I have spent most of the year in a mental funk it seems I definitely learned a lot. And definitely did alot more than I thought. Had some firsts, went to @monicabrant Retreat in San Antonio and that was an amazing experience. Then I went to my first @1stphorm #SummerSmash, learned a lot and met some amazing people in both places. I did a photo shoot and I celebrated some victories with my clients. This was also my first year as a promoter, putting up @fireandiceclassic for the first time. That was an amazing experience, some mistakes were made but overall it went pretty well and I couldn't have done it without some great people to help me out. Watch for next year, it'll be even bigger. My kids started new schools and are doing amazingly and my roof and siding on my house got renovated so even though I still have a long list of things I plan on accomplishing I'm content with what I've done. 2018 already has a long list of things I plan on doing and improving. #GlacierBodies #ImFitPC #Bye2017 #Hello2018 (at Bay County, Florida)

It's that time of year, when everyone starts to look for the next magic diet, the next quick fix, the latest detox and cleanse cause they ate too much over the holiday and now they want those extra pounds off and fast. After all you have that dress/suit you are going to wear to the New Years party or you are feeling all sluggish after the binge and all that sugar so you better get rid of those toxins in your body to make you feel better. So you buy that cleanse that promises up to 10lbs off in 2 days and that you'll feel so much better. Well what if I told you that you could feel alot better without that cleanse, and possibly loose that holiday weight gain too just by drinking more water, eat more veggies and get more active. Yup its true, I gained a pound over the weekend and I'm already down 2 lbs. More details on my FB page GlacierBodies Fitness on my secret 😉 Spoiler alert it's not a cleanse, it's just my daily routine 😁 #NoCleanse #HealthyHabits #1stPhorm #EatYourVeggies #DrinkMoreWater #DontWasteYourMoney #GlacierBodies (at Impact Fitness)

I know many of you are out there posting about Christmas workout, getting it in, no days off and all that motivation stuff, I see you and I applaud you. Me on the other hand plan on keeping my candy cane pj's on all day and lounge around with my family. Tomorrow will be here bright and early with clients and the rest of the week to crush, but yesterday and today are my days off work/gym. Did breakfast and presents at abuelas house, built a Lego Praetorian guard with my son, we opened Santa presents, Nerf gun war with my husband, played with the dog, watched 5th Element, drank my Peppermint Bark level 1 for lunch, cooking some pernil for dinner and plan on cuddling with my daughter while she reads me a story she wrote, I'll probably read something too. All these little moments that don't seem like much but mean everything. Enjoy your day, whether it is at the gym or with your family or whatever you're doing just remember to grab those little moments while they last, cause I know for us parents that's what is most important. Toys will be out grown and forgotten, but the moments you spend with your kid are what they'll remember and cherish as they grow up. So I take mine and I enjoy them guilt free 😁 Merry Christmas IG world #GlacierBodies #ChristmasDay #Family #ILoveMyKids #MyKids #moments #PajamaDay #NoGuilt (at My House)

#TrainerTipTuesday I have a challenge for you, next time you go somewhere where you park your car, park further away. Make a point in parking as far away from the door as you can, get those extra steps in every day. And suddenly before you know it, you've increased your activity level, you've increased your N.E.A.T (Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) NEAT is what you do when you're not sleeping or exercising, it's what you burn with activity through most of your day, since most people only spend about an hour actually working out. It's what we do, how much we burn the rest of the time. Are you just getting up, taking few steps to your car, driving to work, walking as few steps as possible to get to work and then sitting down at work, then driving to the gym (maybe), then back home and going to the couch. If that's the case you just spent most of the day sitting down. And that hour in the gym can only make up for so much of that. How about we start making small changes, like parking further away, and taking the stairs. Little things like that can make a difference when you're trying to get healthier and/or loose weight. Like me, I decided to stop parking in my usual spot at work (on this side of that white car) and go a little further away (the red car on the end is mine). This is about 50 steps or way, 100 extra steps back and forth, most days í come and leave 2x through the day. That's 200 extra steps a day. Yay! Nothing to loose there but extra activity I can easily incorporate into my busy day. Yeah yeah I know, you're over there thinking you're already on your feet all day what's few extra steps going to do. Well you won't know until you try do ya. The thing is, your body has already gotten used to you being in your feet all day, it's part of your daily routine, so your body has adjusted for that, do something different, add in something new and it might respond.

In a world where everyone is trying to be like someone else, just be you. This goes for everything in life but for now I'll talk about how everyone is always trying to look like someone they admire. Some celebrity or fitness personality. I want to look like Jennifer Aniston, I want to be like Jessica Biel, or @danalinnbailey or @nicolemwilkins, @monicabrant @erinstern5 or @jessiegraffpwr (last 5 all women I have at one point or another wished I looked or could be like) and I could name at least couple more. And while I still admire these women and look up to for motivation and some, education, I have come to realize that I will never be like them. Not because I won't be successful or able to do what I set my mind to. But because I'm not them, I have my own body, I have my own genetic make up, I have my own history which makes me who I am and how I look like. I can only make myself better, smarter, stronger, leaner or whatever the current goal is. I can't make myself look or be like someone else nor would I want to. I no longer strive to have "her" legs abs or ass, I strive to make my legs, abs, ass look the best they have ever before, I strive to learn more everyday. I strive to do better as ME every day. Stop trying to look like someone else or be like someone else, work on being the best YOU there is. I promise you have plenty to work on but you'll also be happier cause you can see you improving and you'll want to continue to do better, be better, motivated by your results. Instead of constantly failing cause you still don't look like so and so you were trying to be like. #BeYou #BestSelf #GlacierBodies #BestVersionOfYou #DuesPaid #ImFitPC #TeamGlacierBodies #NextLevelShit #LegionOfBoom #1stPhorm #Iam1stPhorm #Legionnaire #NeverSettle #FocaStudent #FocaStudent2018 #WeDoTheWork #Strong #1stPhormAthleteSearch #BeThe1 #FitMom #FitMomsRule #Figure #HealthyHabits #100to0 #ImpactFitnessPC #Strong #Motivation #Progress #Determination #GetFit #TeamMetabolicEvolution (at Bay County, Florida)

Fight through drama and crying or take a short break from homework to do a little "workout" with your mini. I opted for the latter and it dramatically changed her mood and the homework got done alot faster afterwards. Those little moments is what your kids will remember as they grow up, so even though you are short on time or crazy busy, give yourself and your kids a moment. You won't regret it. Plus what's more important than time with your children? #GlacierBodies #ImFitPC #TeamGlacierBodies #NextLevelShit #LegionOfBoom #1stPhorm #Iam1stPhorm #Legionnaire #NeverSettle #FocaStudent #FocaStudent2018 #WeDoTheWork #1stPhormAthleteSearch #BeThe1 #BestSelf #DuesPaid #FitMom #FitMomsRule #Figure #HealthyHabits #ImpactFitnessPC #Strong #Motivation #Progress #Determination #GetFit (at Impact Fitness)

1st heavy upper body workout since hurting my wrist couple of weeks ago. Felt great and the 75lbs on the overhead press went up pretty easy. For the first couple of sets at least, the 5th set (on video) was a little more challenging. 😁💪 Felt strong on all my lifts and was pretty excited that this forced "deload" didn't affect my strength at all. Came back to all the same weights I was using before. Sometimes if you're starting to feel stagnant or beat up changing up your reps and sets a little can make all the difference. Try switching from your normal 12-15 rep scheme to a little lighter weight and a 20-25 rep scheme. Or if you're used to 15-20 reps then go heavier and do 8-10 reps. Even if it's just for a week or two. You might be surprised by the results 😁 As always don't be afraid to ask if you have questions or need help, that's what I'm here for. #GlacierBodies #ImFitPC #TeamGlacierBodies #NextLevelShit #LegionOfBoom #1stPhorm #Iam1stPhorm #Legionnaire #NeverSettle #FocaStudent #FocaStudent2018 #WeDoTheWork #1stPhormAthleteSearch #BeThe1 #BestSelf #DuesPaid #FitMom #FitMomsRule #Figure #HealthyHabits #ImpactFitnessPC #Strong #Motivation #Progress #Determination #GetFit (at Tyndall Fitness Center)

About yesterday, didn't get a chance to get pictures with everyone I wanted but here are some. The OCB Winter Classic run by promoter @slyajaye was excellent as all his shows are. Extremely proud of my posing clients @rexus1 and W4L girl @mellslabs531 who both did excellent. Got to see the amazing Holly, beautiful @irongoddessesfl, @man_duh02 who competed at my @fireandiceclassic this past summer and I met my long time friend @teamambitionfitness who I haven't seen in almost 10 years 😁 We knew each other before either one of us were prep coaches, and I was a new trainer. It was so great seeing you again brother. #GlacierBodies #ImFitPC #TeamGlacierBodies #NextLevelShit #LegionOfBoom #1stPhorm #Iam1stPhorm #Legionnaire #NeverSettle #FocaStudent #FocaStudent2018 #WeDoTheWork #FitFriends #1stPhormAthleteSearch #BeThe1 #BestSelf #DuesPaid #FitMom #FitMomsRule #Figure #HealthyHabits #ImpactFitnessPC #Strong #Motivation #Progress #Determination #GetFit (at Amos P.

Well I had this week all scheduled and planned out, but the universe had other plans 😒😵 Sometimes that's how it goes though and you just have to make the most of it. After already busy day I wasn't going to miss out on leg day, so I did 200 reps on the leg press in the short time I had before my Spin class and then after I figured I'd have some time to finish up with 100 rep sets, yeah 100 reps in 1 set 😮😣 on the leg extension and leg curls. 3 sets of each, yeah thx to @ms_hawtchocolate22 for that great idea 😂😭. I'll feel those for sure. Point of this long post, sometimes you get derailed but don't let it keep you down for too long and just get back on it and on track as soon as you can. #GlacierBodies #ImFitPC #TeamGlacierBodies #NextLevelShit #LegionOfBoom #1stPhorm #Iam1stPhorm #Legionnaire #NeverSettle #FocaStudent #FocaStudent2018 #WeDoTheWork #100to0 #1stPhormAthleteSearch #BeThe1 #BestSelf #DuesPaid #FitMom #FitMomsRule #Figure #HealthyHabits #GetFit #ImpactFitnessPC #Strong #Motivation #Progress #Determination #TeamMetabolicEvolution (at Impact Fitness)

#TBT to the time couple of years ago when me and my bestie @a_vazquez_88310 had time to workout together all the time. Miss those days and my girl who I don't see often enough these days. But life and schedules change and we still just make the most of the few times we do meet up. #FunTimes #GlacierBodies #ImFitPC #TeamGlacierBodies #NextLevelShit #LegionOfBoom #1stPhorm #Iam1stPhorm #Legionnaire #NeverSettle #WeDoTheWork #1stPhormAthleteSearch #BeThe1 #BestSelf #DuesPaid #FitMoms #FitMomsRule #HealthyHabits #ImpactFitnessPC #Strong #Motivation #Progress #Determination #GetFit (at Impact Fitness)
