I shared this in my positivity group today, where the daily check in was to find a positive quote to carry us into the new week. I think we get so caught up in the hustle and bustle, what we SHOULD be doing rather than what we LIKE to do. At the end of the day, always strive for H A P P I N E S S 💕 There is always more room in my positivity group.

Quitting won’t help you reach your goals. • • Raise your hand 🙋🏼‍♀️ if you have ever given up on your exercise routine or diet. Raise your hand 🙋🏼‍♀️ if you’ve ever been frustrated about not getting instant results over night. We live in a society where we seek instant gratification. We want rewards, we want praise, we want results without working for them. You didn’t get where you are today over night, and you aren’t going to get results over night. But quitting won’t get you there either. Patience + perseverance. You’ve got this!

If I hadn’t signed up two years ago I wouldn’t have gotten in the best shape of my life, I wouldn’t have learned to love vegetables I actively avoided, I wouldn’t have met some of my best friends, I definitely wouldn’t be going on paid vacations, and, most importantly, I wouldn’t have been able to help others start their journeys. If you are the least bit curious of how coaching can fit into your life, just ask! You never know what you could be missing if you don’t take the first step to just try.

Last night I was reflecting on my freshman year of college. I’m not really sure why but I remembered a comment my grandmother made “you haven’t even gained weight”. She was referring to the fact I had gained the freshman 15; however, the fact was I DID gain the freshman 15 and then some. I will never forget that moment I stepped on the scale in our gym and saw the number higher than it’s ever been. For the first (and only) time in my life, my BMI was in the “overweight” range. It crushed me. I mean, I was in the gym for Pete’s sake working out, how did it come to this? But the truth is, all the working out in the world couldn’t outdo my horrible diet. I was also struggling with a lot of depression, especially after my cousin’s death. I know a lot of people are unhealthy in college, but I look back 10 years ago and can’t recall a single thing I was doing for myself that WAS healthy. Little sleep, partying, lots of fast food and alcohol, the list goes on and on. If you told me 10 years ago that a decade from now I would be in the best shape of my life, I would have laughed. But it’s true. And it’s never too late to start. #transformationtuesday

You are much more than a number, remember that 💕. - - - - - #healthylifestyle #fitphd #fittherapist #fitwife #clinicalpsychology #psychologyphd #phdlife #gradschoollife #puppymom #cavapoomom #fitfromhome #selflove #lifestylechange #fitstudent #svuaddict #lawandordersvu #sourpatchkids #cavapoo #edwarrior #mentalhealthawareness

T H I S 👆🏻👆🏻I literally complain about being tired all the time and even when I get enough sleep life is like “jokes on you. You are still going to be tired.”

Or breakfast, or lunch. Literally me this morning. I asked Spence what I should eat and all of his suggestions I was like nope 🙅🏼. Why is deciding what to eat so difficult?

Anyone else feeling off this week or just me? 🙋🏼 - - - - - #healthylifestyle #fitphd #fittherapist #fitwife #clinicalpsychology #psychologyphd #phdlife #gradschoollife #puppymom #cavapoomom #fitfromhome #selflove #lifestylechange #fitstudent #svuaddict #lawandordersvu #sourpatchkids #cavapoo #edwarrior #mentalhealthawareness #blamemercury #mercuryretrograde
