Treat yo'self with a sip of the holidays! ​ ​ ​ ​ Its been a hot minute since my last newsletter! I hope all is well with you ! The holidays are upon us and these last 60 days of the year are upon us. What will you do with it? Are you leaving goals on the table because you are too tired ? Or too busy? This is the time to push...

Walking is an incredible first step to a healthier lifestyle. It is an easy and effective way to increase daily activity levels and add additional calorie burn to your weight-loss journey! Outside of scale goals, if you are walking and moving, you’re not sitting or standing - which is a win!

A study found that walking regularly can help you hit two important goals — shed fat and keep it off in the long term. With a proper diet, walking can help you shed pounds faster than dieting alone, increase your mobility, and prime your body daily to avoid any injury from a sedentary lifestyle.

The study suggested shooting for at least 10,000 steps a day, which is equivalent to about 2 hours of walking. Now, walking for 2 hours a day is not something we are suggesting, but how can you chunk that 2 hours time into your day?

Can you park farther away at the grocery store for an extra 5-minute walk in and out?
Are there steps you can take instead of using an elevator?
Is your lunch on-the-go, so you can eat while you walk?

The minutes and steps will add up! Remember, you may not hit your goal on Day 1, but the first step is the most important.

How did you get in your step challenge today? Remember, our goal is an extra 30 minutes a day, but have you had a 10,000 step day?!

This recipe calls for kidney beans, but you can sub any beans you’d like! When you make chili, are you team beans or no beans?

The best workouts are the ones that leave you feeling accomplished and high on life, even though your muscles are so dang tired. 💪🏼There’s just something about pushing to your limits, giving it your all, and basking in that post-workout endorphin rush!I never thought I’d say that I actually get EXCITED to work out, but I guess when you find your soulmate workout program, it’s hard not to love it!

❓Did you know? Research studies have shown that by openly stating and committing to your goals to someone gives you at least a 65% chance of achieving them? And if you have a specific accountability partner to state and commit to these goals to and stay connected with as you work on them? Then your chance of reaching the goal rises to 95%. Isn’t that amazing?!There truly is so much power in accountability, making your goals known, and having someone to work through them with. In my FALL FIT GIRL CAMP, we openly state our goals each month, check-in daily with our workouts, nutrition, mindset, and overall progress, and do daily challenges that keep us engaged and actively working towards our goals. This month, we’re focusing each week on a different health theme, scaling your mindset, scaling your nutrition, scaling your fitness, and scaling your life. Tomorrow kicks off our week of Scaling Your Fitness….and the challenges and daily topics/tips are going to be GOOD! 🔥Want to increase your chance of achieving your goals by 95%?! Join us and see for yourself just how powerful accountability can be for you!Drop a 🤚🏼 if you want in!

I get asked alllll the time how I meal plan and prep. 🥗So many people want to get into their own meal planning and prep routine so they can not only eat healthier and feel better, but also to save time and money! The thing is, there’s no one way to meal plan and prep. What works for one person or one family may not work for another, and that’s ok!🍓I recommend starting by planning your breakfasts each week. Find 2-3 options that you love, are nutritious, and you can make ahead and store in the fridge or quickly grab and go. This helps you stay consistent throughout the week. A couple great options are Shakeology, egg cups, and fruit and yogurt parfaits. 🥘 Next move on to dinner. Yes, we’re skipping over lunch for a second. Plan your dinners for the week. Then, plan to make enough so you can have leftovers the next day. 2-for-1...yes please! If you don’t love leftovers, plan 2-3 simple lunches that you can mix and match all week. 🥕Then, simply fill in your snacks. Great options are fruit and yogurt, fruit and peanut butter, veggies and hummus, ham and cheese rollups, mixed nuts, Shakeology, string cheese, rice cakes, and cottage cheese. This is the exact process I follow when I meal plan and prep. It makes me feel prepared but also gives me the freedom to mix and match as I see fit!Want to make this process even easier?

I’ve put together a meal plan of clean and simple recipes for you...totally FREE! Comment below to grab a copy! 👇🏼

It's FALL Y'ALL !! ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Hey there! Recently on my beach vacation I learned a valuable lesson in less than a minute! ​ Sometimes we catch ourselves at bad angles mentally and physically. Sometimes the sun shines and highlights the varicose veins, muffin top and thunder thighs! Which NONE OF IT makes yo...

TGIF!! While I know the weekend is always something to look forward to, I also understand the feeling of being overwhelmed and anxious when you have health and fitness goals.Chances are your schedule and routine is a little bit different, or you may be going out with friends or family. Don’t fear! 🙅Here are a few tips to keep in mind going into the weekend:Pray or meditate. Weekends can be hectic - stay in touch with yourself and how you’re feeling.Plan ahead. Look at your schedule for the next 2 days and plan your workouts. Don’t negotiate with yourself!Identify triggers. When you get in social situations, what are some of the things that sometimes cause you to lose touch with your goals?Decide what you’ll do when you experience the triggers.Here’s my own example - I don’t drink alcohol often, but when I do, it’s basically for the social aspect of it. 😆 Whenever I’m with family or friends at a BBQ, restaurant, or any kind of social gathering and people are drinking, I always have the urge to have a beer or cocktail because, why not?! Everyone else is! 🤷🏼 I totally know this about myself, so now I come prepared by bringing my own mocktail (sparkling water and Energize is my go-to), Bubblr, or ordering an iced tea with lemon! I don’t need the alcohol, but fun drinks are, well - FUN! 😊

Daily Challenge: Spend at least 5 minutes in prayer or meditation. How did you feel afterward?

As much as I wish it weren’t true… changing your mindset can’t happen overnight. 😒🤷🏼Your thoughts are extremely powerful, and what you tell yourself on a daily basis is what your mind will continue to believe. So it’s pretty simple - would you rather fill your mind with positive thoughts? Or negative?

One way to continually fill your mind with positive vibes and thoughts is through personal development. While I do love having a book in my hands, I’m also constantly on the go and need something a little more accessible and convenient!

Let's get to the nitty gritty! ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Hey there! Ready to party? Lol! It was a great birthday vacation this past weekend. Dale and I have never been to Port Aransas so it was great to explore "the island" together. We rented an RV using an app called Rvezy. Stayed at a park on the beach and drove around in a golf car...
