I want to live until I am 100…

11825981_10207244935863163_753990045289114847_n

 

Every day I workout. In some way shape or form, I move my body! I do take rest days, but they are definitely active rest days! My Mom set the example for me at a young age. She would do her Jane Fonda tapes and I would sit and watch her and do it with her. I never once thought that she was taking time away from me! I was always inspired to move with her and to be proud of my Mom for being active. My Mom also ate clean! She is Chinese, so rice and fish were her main staple. She would also eat tons of greens! At first, I was frustrated because duh… I wanted french fries, but now that I am older, I appreciate the example she set for me.
My Mom is now in her 60’s and absolutely alive and young. She still moves her body, she works out daily, she eats clean, and she is in tip top shape. Age is just a number for her! She refuses to believe that she has to get old! My Grand Mother (her mom) always moved her body as well! Every morning she did Tai Chi and count her beads (Buddhist). She is now almost in her 90’s and she is alive and well. Some memory issues here and there, but she is still up and moving around!
So here I am 31 years old and officially an adult! I make decisions for myself now. I think back to the ladies of my heritage and respect them so much! Now I want my daughter to look back on her Mom and have the same thoughts and appreciation. I want my daughter to speak of me with joy and pride. I want my daughter to grow up active, energized and healthy.
Have you ever stopped to listen to the heartbeat of someone you love? Holy moly this is trippy. Really listen to it. Really take it in for what it is. It’s a machine pumping away for years and years. It is an organ that could stop working at any point in time. There is no recharge station or battery that you can change out if it’s not working right. All you have to make sure that thing works and stays working is what you do for preventative care. So with that being said RESPECT YOUR HOUSE. Your body is your house. It is your temple. It is sensitive, and it is vulnerable. Everything you put into your body affects your organs.
So if you were to ask me the #1 benefit of being a COACH?
Accountability for my HEALTH. BECAUSE I have people looking to me to be the example, I cannot let them down. I cannot let my health get out of hand. This is my insurance policy that I will be getting on the ground with my great grandkids and playing with them. This is my opportunity to create incredible memories for my little girl!

Why do I eat Keto?  Because I FEEL great when I do!  I get to eat a lot of my favorite foods, and my cravings for sweets are GONE!  Eating Keto can help you lose weight (and keep it off), help manage diabetes (even potentially reversing type 2 diabetes – WHAAT?!), calming your stomach (IBS is a pain, amiright??), it can also help normalize your blood pressure, lower migraines, give ya less acne, and help with PCOS symptoms.

How to Get Motivated to Work Out

How to Get Motivated to Work Out
Wear workout clothes you LOVE
When you feel confident in what you’re wearing, you’ll want to work out!
Mix up your workout
Don’t get stuck in the same, boring workout rut. Mix it up, try something new!
Remember your WHY
WHY are you working out? What is your reason behind it? Whether it is to fit into those jeans, to FEEL good, or to be a good example for your babies, if you think about your WHY, you’ll want to work out!
Find YOUR ideal time to workout
If you’re not a morning person, don’t try to work out in the morning!  If you find that you can work out after work, you have the time and the energy, do it then!

Put 1 cup of water, 1 scoop of Tropical Strawberry Shakeology, 2 Tablespoons of Fresh Lemon or Lime juice, 2 Tablespoons fresh, chopped basil and mint, and 1 cup of ice into a blender, blend it until smooth, and sip like you’re drinking a Strawberry Mojito on an island somewhere!

10 Ways to a Better YOU

Screen Shot 2017-04-11 at 6.02.55 PM

 

The amazing thing about  life is that your attitude can make all of the change in the world. Life will always throw curve balls at you. If you have not received a curve ball yet, this will still apply to you because honey… it’s coming! Curve balls are a part of life. The Lord gave us free will to learn and to grow from. When there is Free Will in a broken world, you have pain, suffering, loss, and confusion. How you react to those challenges is everything! You can decide in the moment that you are going to get up, get going and brush your shoulders off. In the face of adversity you can sit and wallow or you can pick up the broken pieces and put them back together again.

I have something very painful to share with you… I have struggled on and off with Depression and Anxiety for almost 2 years of my life. No matter how hard I tried, I just didn’t feel like myself. It became so bad and my attitude was so bad I contemplated taking my own life. Again this is not something I am proud of. In fact it is so painful to share with you. But I share it because you my friend can come back from anything! I struggled with Depression and Anxiety, I lost my Step Father, and two babies in late term pregnancy. I let those losses and that condition swallow me up. I was rendered useless, Until one day I decided that I wasn’t going to let those painful things stop me. The people that I lost … they wouldn’t want me to suffer the way I was!

I put a plan into place through the suffering. I figured if I  just got up and did these things each day, I would eventually start to heal. First thing was first though… my health. I could not tackle life the way I wanted if I was clinically Depressed and anxious. I was so low and anxious I was to afraid to leave my couch and face anyone. Going someone happy and joyous was just a reminder of how bad I felt. So off to my Natural Doc and to my Psychiatrist. I committed to a mission to get my diet right, remove the things that could plague me, and all the wile I began taking medication. Once I got that sorted out and started to feel like me again, I was ready to tackle life and move past the pain.

Every day looked like this and it helped me to become HAPPY AND STRONG AGAIN.

1. Wake up at the same time every day. Give yourself an hour before anyone else is up to read from a personal Development book! I suggest to start with 50 Ways to Yay by Alexi Panos!

2. make your beds! Really this little habit goes a long way for mental clarity.

3. Make plans for your day, no matter how painful that seems. Fake it until you make it. Get out there and do things. You may feel terrible doing it, but if you are on a mission to get better, hiding with the pain is far worse that approaching it head on.

4. Eat a diet rich in HEALTHY OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS, and greens. Protein is also important so don’t skimp on that.

5. Take a supplement of Fish Oil! Go for higher DHA and EPA!! This helps with  mental health and over all energy.

6. Commit to taking 1 walk a day.

7. WORKOUT and take a COLD Shower! Trust me… you’ll feel amazing.

8. Drink plenty of water

9. Reach out to one person a day to tell them that you love them, and if you don’t have anyone get plugged into a support group on Facebook! You can meet some great people there. Just look for common interests!

10. Here is the hardest and the one I struggled with the most. Get dressed, and put on makeup every single day. Dress the way you wish you felt or the way you want to feel.

and bonus: Find a success partner!! Someone you can count on, someone who is on a mission just like you to rock at life!!

Please OPT in to my email list so that I can send you more articles just like this one!!
Thats it for me folks!! Until next time!!

CHECK OUT THIS WEEKS MEAL PLAN! ALONG WITH RECIPES!
Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs ground chicken breast
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1Tbsp minced garlic
  • 2-4 oz cans of diced green chilies
  • 1-15 oz can of black beans (drain)
  • 1-15 oz can of kidney beans (drain)
  • 2-14.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes
  • 1 Tbsp Xylitol brown sugar blend
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp spicy mustard
  • 1 Tbsp regular mustard
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Optional Toppings: cilantro, green onion, cottage cheese

Directions:

  1. Brown meat with onions and garlic in a large pot.  Cook until no longer pink.
  2. Place meat in crock pot. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir until combined.
  3. Place on “low heat” for desired time (we prefer around 2 hours since the meat is already cooked).

He & She Tip: You can also make this without a crock pot.  To make without a crock pot you would still brown the meat in a large pan and then add the remaining ingredients.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Makes approximately 6 servings.

MAPLE SALMON

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 4 5-ounce skinless center-cut salmon fillets (preferably wild)
  • 4 cups cauliflower florets (from 1 small head)
  • 1/4 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth (or use water)
  • Cooking spray
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios or almonds
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the soy sauce, maple syrup, orange juice, 2 garlic cloves and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl; add the salmon and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, put the cauliflower and broth in a microwave-safe bowl; cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave until tender, 6 minutes.

Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Drain the fish, season with salt and pepper and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until slightly golden around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and remaining garlic clove in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook, breaking up the garlic with a spoon, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the cauliflower and broth, the cranberries, pistachios, orange zest, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste and stir to heat through. Serve with the fish.
