Reading Is Like Lifting Weights For Your Brain ;-)!
This week’s challenge is near and dear to my heart. But sadly, it wasn’t until I went to graduate school that I truly appreciated it...
Kaitlyn Down 42.2 lbs
Kaitlyn down -42.2 lbs! Today our client success story is all about Kaitlyn! Kaitlyn sought me out after she had stopped losing weight on her own. That being said, Kaitlyn is extremely bright, she pretty much knew what she needed to do in regards to her eating habits she just needed some extra accountability. However, Kaitlyn was afraid she would lose her shape ;-). She wanted to make her waist smaller but keep her booty as well as not get “man” muscles. In short, she was a perfect candidate for the Better Booty, Tighter Tummy 12 Week Program. I am happy to...
Running VS Running on a Treadmill, Which Is Better?
I vote neither lol, I ran so much when I was training for the military I think I am good for a lifetime. Plus, it hurts my knees bad. But this week while I was digging my master pieces (see picture below of my master piece lol) I got passed by tons of people running on the beach and I did a little research. Which is better? Running outside or on a treadmill, this is what I discovered. Americans spend over 72 billion dollars on sports equipment and workout gear. Yes, you read that right! 72 BILLION DOLLARS...
Are meal plans worth it?
This weekend I have been watching more TV than I normally do because the family and I are on vacation. I forget what we were watching but I saw a commercial for Nutrisystem. Basically, you can buy a whole bunch of processed, packaged food, that is portioned out ready to go that is really low calorie...
Celebrate The Ones You Love Challenge!
This week my family and I are at the beach, as such I wanted this week’s challenge to celebrate spending time with people you love and care about. So, this week’s challenge is all about lifting up and giving back to the people you care most about. This week, I want you to volunteer your TIME in some form or fashion for the person or people you care most about. I don’t know about you, but for me, time is one of my most coveted and treasured commodities I have. I am not proud to admit this, but often times, I have time...
Can You Get Fit In a 10 Minute Workout?
Can You Get Fit In a 10 Minute Workout? 10 minutes? I'm sure you've seen all the commercials on TV and in the magazines that advertise, “Get fit in 7 minutes a week” or “Five minute abs, your secret to slim toned abs” maybe even, “Slender legs and better butt in 6 minutes or less.” My point is we've all seen these claims, but is there anything to them? The good news is YES and...
Client success story (Jennifer), and some accountability for this weeks challenge.
Couple of things today, Client success story (Jennifer), and some accountability for this weeks challenge. Today we are celebrating Jennifer. Jennifer is a gastric bypass patient that came to me once she stopped losing weight with just diet alone. The blessing and the curse with gastric bypass is that you lose weight because you can’t eat very much, your calories are severely restricted that is the blessing. The curse is that over an extended period of time it really slows down your metabolism because you lose a lot of muscle. Anyway, Jennifer found Just You Fitness Winston-Salem by Googling it. As...

You can thank Brigham Young University for finding that out in 2010. Now here's the thing what we've been told for years and years about muscle cramping from every coach you have probably ever had...
Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking – William B. Sprague
Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking - William B. Sprague I love this quote. It really resonates with kind of how I have gone through life and my mentality when I approach hard tasks and difficult times. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, or the perfect time and for everything to align. I take action. Granted at times this has gotten me into trouble. But what I've discovered is that action generally trumps no-action. How many times in your live have you thought I'll wait until A or Z...
